"The Silence of the Clamps",[2] originally titled "Bend on a Wire",[3] is the one hundred and second episode of Futurama, the fourteenth of the sixth production season and the fifth of the eighth broadcast season. It is scheduled to air on 14 July, 2011.[1] The episode was for some time thought to be the broadcast season premiere, but the announcement that "Neutopia" would air on 23 June in its place[4] proved otherwise.

Story

Production
