Futurama is back! :)

[JayTheTrekkie]

This is great news! I have not seen the 4 movies (that was turned into as season 5)....

Ths is only awesome of MAtt and Cohen still have creative control. The story I read was "Futurama" wasnt' so much as cancelled as was Matt refused to give uyp creative control to FOX over the series (see the last ten+ years of "The Simpsons" to see what creative control by FOX is like...). FOX insisted, Matt didn't budge. New season was aroudn the corer, neither side would let go, and ultimately it was never added toe line up and Matt's group disbanded.


I retract my earlier statement of welcoming new episodes. I will welcome them after confirmation Matt (and hopefully Cohen) still have creative control.

Really? I have never heard that but good for him. All I know is they were never canceled, Fox just stopped calling them back.

And great, an AU version of the show... sheesh.... It's a cartoon, just ignore the black hole part and go back to the regular universe in the new series premiere. I'm sick of AU episodes and flash forwards in time... enough already!

Eh, with a cartoon like Futurama, I'm sure they could explain it away pretty quickly.

Good news!

 

[RandyS]

It became increasingly obvious with the four movies (the last two in particular) that Futurama worked best as a half-hour TV programme. Not my personal all-time favourite show, but it'll be good to have it back!

Yeah, not my personal favorite either, but at least now they'll be something good on TV.

Hot diggity daffodil! Best news I've heard in a while.

"Random Guy: "But ... but -- what happened with you flying in the black hole and all?"

Professor: "The black whaaaa?"

Leela: "You know, Professor, that big cosmic hole in space from which nothing escapes -- not even light!"

Professor: "Oh," whacks the guy over the head with a newspaper, "try asking something less stupid!"

< I salute Futurama & Star Trek.

 

[mythicdove]

Good! This is great news I love Bender and Fry.

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNO TOAD

I could see that happening...

 

[Chess Piece Face]

FANTASTIC!

I wonder something: How does Fox feel about the who BOX Network jokes?

I think everyone who treated Futurama like shit have left the network or were fired.

 

[tharpdevenport]

Yes, now we have "the NEW morons at FOX".

The Simpsons and Family Guy have made fun of Fox for a long time. I doubt they really care all that much.

I didn't read all the replies but am I the only one who hates Futurama? I hated this show since the very first episode. Bender gives the occasional laugh but overall, I don't even crack a smile and it's not hard to make me laugh.

I found it to be a lot funnier when I watched it straight through on DVD. I'm not sure why.

Yes.

Yes.

I'm the only cool one then.

Or..the only one bored enough to hate a show but open a topic about said show to tell everyone you hate it
