Hey folks, been a couple of weeks but I'm back with an update!
Firstly, look out for my interview with Futurama writer Eric Rogers going up in the next few hours!
This weekend is Comic Con! As well as the Futurama panel on Saturday, many of the cast and crew are appearing at other signings and events over the weekend(see Marc's post below).
This is just an encouragement for any of you that are there to send us Futurama pics or quotes from the event. You can email us or if you're tweeting, send it @gotfuturama or tag it #futuramacc.
Here's a wrap up of other odds and ends:
- Bongo Comics has just launched their awesome website with daily updates, news and sneak peeks. Check it out!
- Futurama ratings are going well. After the inevitable post-premiere drop off from 2.9m to 2 for 'Proposition Infinity', last week's episode climbed well, up to 2.2m. This is great news and Futurama is now the second most watched show on Comedy Central after South Park! So spread the news! Futurama is back!
- Michelle Castillo from MSNBC did an article on Futurama's return in which I was asked for some comments(shameless self-plug!).
Remember, Twitter! Facebook! PEEL!
So long jerkwads! |

 Quick update guys and gals!
Comic Con was huge this weekend with the Futurama panel being a big success. Much was talked about and shown including a 3 minute preview of the next 6 episodes!
- Futurama was also presented with the Guiness World Record for 'Most critically acclaimed current animated series' Congrats!!
- If you have a US iTunes account you can download the season premiere 'Rebirth' in awesome HD for FREE! Up until August 1st. Make sure you use THIS link!
- I'm sure most of you welled up at the end of this week's episode but a lot of you have been wondering what the song at the end was. It was 'Little Bird, Little Bird' by Elizabeth Mitchell.
- Unfortunately the episode was down significantly on last week(1.92m) so make sure you spread the word for this week's episode!
As always, up-to-the-minute news is on our Twitter. |

 A Thursday means a new Futurama episode! This week's episode is called "The late Philip J. Fry" and will be shown by Comedy Central at 10pm/9c.
Sorry, for repeating the time slot that often. I'm still not used to Futurama being on at predictable times.
EDIT: And here are the review links:The first reviews are looking very promising... I hope the Emmy jury will agree! |
