Three Simpsons writers have science PhDs. What's so funny about scientists?
Jean: It's an even higher percentage on Futurama.
Cohen: We had quite a batch of scientists, if I can use the term scientist loosely to include those who meet the criteria partway, such as myself. Out of 12 writers, I guess we scientists [on Futurama] were a plurality, you could say, which is an annoying use of that word.

You can also learn obscure facts, stories, and little-known insider information about the show while you keep an eye on "Trek Stats," an ever-growing tally of classic Star Trek moments (such as Spock saying "illogical" or mounting "Red Shirt" deaths). There's also the "Spock Market" where you can buy (and sell) shares of Kirk or McCoy, and watch a real-time Star Trek Stock Exchange running on the right-hand side of the TV screen showing the gains and losses of each character's stock as they are affected by the events in each episode (e.g. Kirk's stock may increase if he scores with a female character). premieres tonight at 11PM ET/PT on G4."
