Futurama (Sun, 8PM-9PM, Comedy Central)
New episodes of Futurama?! Well, sort of. In fact, Comedy Central is airing the recently released, straight-to-DVD Futurama movie, Bender's Big Score, in four half-hour parts. Sunday night they're playing parts one and two back to back. It's a pretty good movie, even if it does occasionally get a bit mawkish for a sci-fi comedy, so you might want to tune in and give it a shot, even if you've already seen the DVD.

Ultimate Recipe Showdown (Sun, 9PM-10PM, Food Network)
The battle this time is to decide the best cookie recipes, including chocolate, spice, and dessert bar cookies. Yum.
