Unfortunately, this downtime resulted from the scripts we've long relied upon for the site's operation becoming incompatible with our old hosting platform. While we regretfully missed out on the anticipated reboot on HULU during this period, we've been hard at work behind the scenes to bring you something even better.

\nBut fear not, fellow fans, for our love for all things Futurama has fueled our determination to emerge stronger and more vibrant than ever before. The challenge of restoring the full functionality of our beloved CGEF was monumental. After much contemplation, we reached a decision: to craft an entirely new site from the ground up, leveraging the latest in technology while retaining that cherished nostalgic look and feel of the 90s that we all hold so dear.

\nIn this phase of our renaissance, we're initially concentrating on delivering the freshest and most captivating news from the Futurama universe. Our news section is up and running, pulsating with tidbits, updates, and stories that will keep you informed and entertained. While the old news may be present, do bear with us as some of those links might be a tad temperamental.

\nThe past is the foundation upon which we build the future, and so, with determination in our hearts, we're keeping the legacy of the old site alive. While our primary focus right now is news, we're aiming to restore or relocate significant portions of the old site in due time.

\nWe extend an invitation to all of you – our dedicated fans – to explore this new incarnation of CGEF. Bask in the nostalgia of the 90s as you delve into the latest happenings of the Futurama universe. We're excited to have you with us on this journey as we strive to create a platform that truly captures the essence of what makes Futurama the timeless gem that it is.

\nThank you for your unwavering support and enthusiasm. We can't wait to see you back on CGEF!

I've been thinking about everything that's been going on these past months and just to be clear, I don't think that only I deserve to be paid more. I think the entire cast does.

Negotiations are a natural part of working in show business. Everyone has a different strategy & different boundaries. Their \"price.\" Some accept offers, some hold their ground. Bender is part of my soul & nothing about this meant to be disrespectful to the fans or my Futurama family. It's all about self-respect. And honestly, being tired of an industry that's become far too corporate and takes advantage of artist's time & talent.

Hi all,
So I meant to get this review up at the beginning of the week but life happened so I'm posting the night before the release of Matt Groening's new show, Disenchantment, worldwide on Netflix.
So here for delectation is my rambling, hopefully helpful review...
It’s been almost 20 years since the launch of Matt Groening’s last show, Futurama but on Friday 17th August Netflix will launch all 10 episodes of his newest show, Disenchantment. I was lucky enough to get access to the first 5 episodes(actually it was 7 but I didn’t want to binge all 7 for the purposes of a review). This is a relatively spoiler free review of those first 5 episodes from the perspective of a Futurama diehard. But also from someone who is realistic about what’s bad and what’s good. I’ll be the first to admit Futurama had some dud episodes but there were handful of episodes that were some of the best television of the last 10 years. Disenchantment has a high bar to clear.

So I came into this show with quite high expectations. Matt Groening, animation by Rough Draft who produced Futurama, music by Mark Mothersbaugh, some of the best Futurama writers including Futurama co-creator David X Cohen, Futurama voice cast… This all sounded great and to sum up my feelings on the show, I loved it. But with some caveats. Some bigger than others.

The basic concept for the show is thus; it’s about a Princess, Bean, who doesn’t really want to be a Princess and would rather gamble, drink and hook up with guys and go off and have her own adventures. So she hates the fact she is being forced into a marriage created mainly for political reasons. For reasons that don’t really matter just yet, a personal demon, Luci, assigns himself to her and makes it his job to persuade her to misbehave and generally cause trouble. She’s also joined by Elfo, an elf who escapes his kingdom fearing he’s missing out on the world. Together under the watchful and frustrated eye of her father King Zog we follow their adventures around the kingdom of ‘Dreamland’.

There is quite a lot going on with this show so I’m going to break it down into some elements to make it easier.

The first area is animation which is easy to sum up - fantastic! Rough Draft have really out done themselves on this. While the character work is relatively the same quality as on Futurama there is some interesting work going on with Luci who is jet black with eyes and no other defining look. This makes for some interesting movements and some good comedic moments like when Bean kicks him against the wall and he slowly rolls down it like a sticky toy. Elfo also seems slightly devolved in his look like he’s jumped straight out of the pages of Groening’s comic strip Life in Hell. And I like that about him!
But where the visuals really stand out is some of the amazing painted backgrounds and sets. Rather than being drawn like Futurama or the Simpsons these have far more detail and look gorgeous. It also adds to the whole fantasy world setting much more. The 3D work is also really seamless. While on Futurama it stood out more that was ok because it was a sci fi show, this isn’t so it needs to blend in with the new painted backgrounds which for the most part it does very well. It will be interesting to see what flourishes they come up with as the show gets going and gets more adventurous with plots and locations.
Then on top of all that is some really nice opening credits which show scenes from the episode underneath the credits made out of simplified outlines in different tones of greens or blues etc. Its really nice.

Next up are the actors, which again is hard to find fault with. All the Futurama cast bar Katey Sagal are here which is an embarrassment of riches in itself. These are people on the top of their game and it’s hard not to be in awe. They’re also joined by Abbi Jacobson as Bean, Eric André as Luci and Nat Faxon as Elfo. They’re well cast too.
Jacobson brings a rebellious but often insecure quality to Bean which makes her likeable from the start while Eric André is obviously having fun being a very smooth kind of evil and his droll delivery of put downs are fun to hear roll off his tongue. My favourite of the three is Nat Faxon though. Is zany delivery always gets a laugh but he can also dial it back to bring some real heart to the confused, slightly stupid little elf.
Other actors such as Matt Berry, Lucy Montgomery and Noel Fielding are fun too and while it’s shame there’s not more Billy West it’s great to see Maurice LaMarche and Tress MacNeille with leading roles.
The real stand out though, is John DiMaggio as King Zog. It’s hard not to wonder how he has a voice anymore after you hear him rant and rave at Bean. You can almost hear the veins on his neck pulsing.
But the great thing about his performance is not all the yelling but how he manages to convey a character with real depth. While he’s a very angry and demanding King it’s obvious he’s quite insecure and is sometimes torn between making Bean do what he thinks is right and gradually realising he can’t really control her and that ‘tradition’ makes her miserable. It’s really great to hear and scenes with him often really crackle. I particularly like the way he looks at things, vocalising his inner thoughts as he casts his eye over the different parts.

Mark Mothersbaugh from the band Devo who also created the fantastic score for Thor: Ragnarok last year has provided the music, including a very catchy theme tune. The music has a grand fantasy feel to it that’s been mixed in with some nutty rhythms and eccentric brass instruments and many more elements. It’s really great and adds so much to some scenes that sometimes might be lacking a bit of zip. More on that later.

So plenty of great ingredients there so what are the actual stories like? In short, very good but certainly with room to grow as the characters and writers fall into a rhythm.
One thing that can be said is that the plotting is pretty much solid all the way through. These are folk who really know how to break a story and create good arcs both within episodes and longer ones for characters. Groening has said that for this they wrote the stories and then added jokes and you can tell as the rhythm of each episode moves well with not many instances of skipping over plot points or lingering too long within scenes that don’t require it. Sometimes the pacing could be a bit quicker but it doesn’t often feel like we’re in a scene for no reason.
The first two episodes act more as a two part pilot and were the strongest of the 5 I saw. While it starts off a little slowly as we’re introduced to the world and our main protagonist it quickly picks up and by the time we meet Elfo a few minutes in the plot is moving along well and the jokes are flowing.
The scene in Elfo’s home land is very funny and reminded me a little of Santas elves in Futurama though doing a lot better for themselves.
It also has one of the darkest jokes so far where one of the characters gets hung but then is too light so someone suggests just stabbing them. It’s very funny for sure(trust me) but it shows a real bite which does seem to appear more regularly than on Futurama or The Simpsons. Matt Groening has said this show is more adult and I think this is what he means rather than putting in strong language, really crude humour all the time(though there is some of course!) or really edgy plots that aim to offend.
It almost seems like some of the darker humour from Life in Hell(still some of Groening’s finest, unfiltered work) is making it’s way onto the show and I for one welcome that.
But back to the first two episodes. It has to be said what an achievement it is for these two. Nostalgia always plays a part affecting our memories but if you’re really honest the first episodes of most shows including Futurama and The Simpsons were not huge successes. They were good for sure but it’s hard to set up a new world and new characters in just half an hour.
If you look at Futurama, it does a solid job of setting up the show but there was lots that it grew into. Fry was a slightly stupid but earnest character. Leela was very bossy and Bender was mainly a sarcastic, selfish robot. Think about how much that show blossomed and added so many more layers in just following few episodes. Don’t get me wrong I really love that episode but the really great stuff comes later. On Disenchantment they seem very sure of their world early on. A lot of the characters have direction early on and you understand a lot of what they’re about.
The parts with Elfo were the most enjoyable as he journey’s through Dreamland encountering lots of weird things and creatures including a very funny ‘war’.
By the end of the episode we’re all set with a 3 piece gang ready for adventures. The next three episodes are good but maybe suffer a little from growing pains. There’s some really great stuff with Elfo & Luci plus we get to know more of Bean’s insecurities but I couldn’t help wanting them to go and find some weird creatures in the land and in episode 4 when Bean throws a ‘Castle Party’ after Zog goes away it kind of feels like we’ve seen this sort of story many times before. Luckily there is some good character work and you start to really see Bean’s loneliness and how she lives.
It seems so far that the show really hits a rhythm with story and especially jokes when we’re away from the castle in particular like when at the end of episode 5 we meet a very twisted version of Hansel and Gretel.
But the writers are certainly having fun creating this world, from versions of modern things such as police chases to ‘Land Vikings’ there are some really enjoyable twists on the fantasy and medieval tropes.
The joke rate in these episodes is maybe not as consistent as you might expect but it’s not that the jokes aren’t landing it’s just there are less. The focus is more on story and character.
I’m putting this down to the show finding it’s way and I’m sure by the end of this season we’ll be moving along at more of a click. And it’s certainly better to pick your jokes when they’re funny rather than throwing so many at the wall to see what sticks. Ahem, Family Guy.
The humour of the show seems much more akin to Futurama. While The Simpsons got most of it’s jokes out of satire or very relatable family situations, Futurama was about people who weren’t sure where they were going but were trying to have fun anyway and the jokes came from that. It was a much more loose show that felt it could go anywhere and I’m sure it will.

That’s really what it comes down to. The show is growing into itself and has all the ingredients for something amazing. For now it’s just great with a lot of potential and already some really noteworthy moments under it’s belt. I’m really enjoying it so far, things are looking good for this show and I can’t wait to dive into more episodes.
Though I won’t be binging and I wouldn’t recommend it. You’re going to want to savour this. It’s not often a Matt Groening show comes along and when you’ve watched it it’s another year until season 2! It’s your choice but there’s something to be said with enjoying an episode and letting it sink in rather than sitting for 5 hours and being done with it!

Futurama co-creator David X. Cohen sent me this message last night that he wanted to share with the fans. Unfortunately I didn't have access to a computer to post(Though I posted it on Twitter). But here it is now:

\"Since the Futurama series finale airs later today, I just wanted to pass along my sincere thanks to Futurama fans everywhere for sticking with us throughout our circuitous journey. Without your powerful show of support, we would never have come back to life for these past four seasons of episodes, or the DVD movies before that. We tried our best to live up to your high expectations, and I hope tonight's episode ranks as one of our two or three best last-episodes-ever ever. On behalf of the entire cast and crew of Futurama, thank you from the bottom of Dr. Zoidberg's second and fourth hearts. Yours,

As we look ahead to next week's season, and possibly series, finale there's a great chance to own a one of a kind piece of Futurama art.
Bongo comics legend and former Futurama art director Bill Morrison is auctioning off an original piece of Futurama art in aid of Tiny Loving Canines, a non-profit dog rescue in Simi Valley, California. It's also signed by the ENTIRE cast, Bill, Lee Supercinski, David X Cohen & Matt Groening!
Here's some info!
FUTURAMA COMIC-CON PANEL - ORIGINAL ART! AUTOGRAPHED BY THE CAST!
GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Here’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Futurama and Comic-Con history! This huge original artwork was drawn by Bill Morrison (Art Director on the original run of Futurama, Bongo Comics cartoonist, etc.)  as a prop for the 2013 Futurama Panel at Comic-Con International, San Diego! The artwork was used as the punch line in a drawing competition between Futurama and Simpsons creator Matt Groening and Futurama animation director Edmund Fong. At the end of the contest, Matt pulled out the drawing as if he had done it in just a few seconds. It got a great reaction from the crowd, but ultimately Matt was tried as a cheater in a mock trial and sentenced to death by Snu snu. Here is a link to the video of the actual drawing competition.
This amazing original drawing measures 36” X 48” and was done in Sharpie marker on gatefold foam core board. (Please note, the gatefold board is factory hinged to fold open, so there are vertical seams in the art on the left and right sides.)
After the panel, the art was signed by the entire Futurama cast, including Billy West, Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Lauren Tom, Phil Lamarr, Tress MacNeille, and David Herman, as well as Producer Lee Supercinski, Executive Producer David X. Cohen, and creator Matt Groening! Oh, and the actual artist of the piece Bill Morrison signed it too!
The entire proceeds for this auction will benefit TLC (Tiny Loving Canines) a non-profit dog rescue in Simi Valley, California.
The auction runs for one week so go here and grab a once in a lifetime piece of Futurama art!!

Josh has teamed up with the very talented Tim Fishlock who created the iOS app 'Sir Benfro's Brilliant Balloon', a beautiful game which takes cues from Monty Python, Studio Ghibli, Yellow Submarine, Adventure Time and yes, Britain's Mr Benn & David Attenborough among others.
The app was so well received it was listed by Apple as one of their 'Best of 2012'.
They have collaborated on a book about Sir Benfro's adventures which is wonderfully illustrated by Tim and written by Josh. They are self publishing so all they need now is money to do so! That's where you come in!

Here's a press release from Tim.

I think it's a fantastic project and promises to be a really great book. If you're not familiar with Sir Benfro the app is available to download for FREE during the kickstarter! Check it out!

Check it out!","title":"The Countdown Begins!","date":"2013-05-07T20:59:24.000Z","author":null,"__typename":"Article"},"__typename":"ArticleEntity"},{"id":"1365","attributes":{"text":"So. Futurama's been cancelled. What can we do? There's a lot of people asking us what's next, is it really the end and who do they need to direct their shouting at.

I decided writing a piece on it would be helpful for those wanting to know. I hope it helps.
Do let us know your thoughts!
Ever since the news broke of Futurama's 3rd cancellation there's been lots of questions. Why does this keep happening to the show? Where else could the show be broadcast? Is it maybe time to call it quits, go out on a high? And how quickly can I produce the appropriate \"Not sure if…\" Fry meme…?

I think firstly though, it's most important to note that Futurama has gone on far longer than it had any right to. By that I don't mean it shouldn't have but in comparison to many other cancelled shows - Firefly, Freaks & Geeks & Wonderfalls which each lasted about half a season for example - it's had an incredibly long, though very unstable, run. 124 episodes. 4 movies. Nearly 50 hours worth of Zoidberg crying, Fry messing up, Farnsworth's good news, Zapp's sleazy lines and people biting Bender's ass.

Not bad right?!

So if this is the end, we've done damn well out of it and we'll have plenty to re-watch for years to come.

So does this mean I want it to end? No. Of course not. As long as David, Matt and everyone involved want to make more you can believe I'll be there lapping up every minute.
I started watching this show when I was 16 and it became a favourite of mine around about the point the aliens kept destroying all the buildings as Fry was frozen. Over the years I've watched the ups and downs, created websites, podcasts and generally got into it in a big way. I've also had the pleasure of meeting several of the folks from the show and speaking to others who it turns out are all some of the most appreciative, friendly and generous people you could hope to meet.
So I would be saddened if this was the end. But also grateful it's lasted this long.

So what are the options?
One thing that I know the David X Cohen wants to ensure is the same quality of writing and animation that's always been there. That will be the most important thing. So as much as we'd like to see a puppet version in the park, it's not going to go that cheap.
It's extremely unlikely Comedy Central will change their minds. Though while we're talking about them it should be mentioned that while they've called an end now it was very bold of them to bring the show back for 4 years. Not many networks would have and they should be applauded.
So that means another home.
Unfortunately I don't think there's many TV networks that would take a risk on the show. The only one that springs to mind is FXX, FX's spin off channel for younger adults that will house 'Always Sunny…' and 'The League' amongst others. Futurama would fit well on that network.
But the most likely options would seem to be online streaming. Netflix, Amazon and the like are increasingly focusing on new, original content. Netflix of course will show new episodes of Arrested Development, a show that is one of the funniest in TV history yet had some quite terrible ratings. Netflix, it could be argued, are taking a gamble on that. So why not Bender & co.?
There's also talk, in the wake of the record breaking Veronica Mars Movie, of going down the kickstarter route. This is very complicated though. Veronica Mars is filmed live action and doesn't require a lot of post production. Futurama, of course, is quite different. And probably is a lot more complicated legally. But it could still happen.

So the best thing to do? Kick up a fuss. Let the world know you want more(if you do). Get everyone you know to watch. Buy the DVDs. The more fuss people make the more people from other networks/streaming sites will sit up and take notice.
There's also been a petition started. Sign that. There's a hashtag that Maurice LaMarche, amongst others, has been using: #SaveFuturamaAGAIN. Tweet that.
Futurama is one of the most liked TV pages on Facebook with around 26 million fans. The audience is out there. We just need to let other people know that.

Then if after all that, it doesn't happen, be thankful. I know I am. What other show can say it solved a plot with a large mathematical problem? Or made you cry over an animated dog? Or featured a character riding a sperm? Or featured a singing, dancing Robot Devil? Not many! The show has produced some of the finest animation on television(take a look at the Fleischer-Fry running on the moon and tell me I'm wrong!), some of the funniest and most intelligent half hours on television and featured arguably the best voice cast ever assembled. It's been great.

Thanks for reading. Meatbags.

One thing David X Cohen has said to me is how proud he is of these last episodes. Even he doesn't know what the future holds but he was very keen for everyone to watch and enjoy these last 13 as everyone's very excited about them.

Tonight's an all new Futurama on Comedy Central.

You should be aware, though, if you're a DirecTV customer you may need to find a friend's house to watch it at due the current dispute between them and Viacom.

I received an email today from him regarding re-runs of the show.
He thought some of you might notice certain edits in syndicated re-runs so he wanted to set the record straight:
David X. Cohen here. I wanted to mention a few things regarding the \"weekend syndication\" run of Futurama that starts in the U.S. this weekend (Sept 24, 2011).

Obviously this is very good news for Futurama... Futurama has reached a number of episodes and a level of awareness where broadcasters are interested in showing the series. One thing that goes along with this success is that we have to make the episodes a little shorter to match the available length of the syndication time slot. This affects all syndicated series, not just Futurama. For example, the Simpsons episodes are cut down for U.S. syndication.

In the case of Futurama, we are fortunate that we still have our production team together, so I have been able to personally make the adjustments to the episodes with our editor, Paul Calder, who has been working with me on the series from the very beginning. I have tried my best not to cut anything that is critical to the episodes or the series as a whole, and also to keep intact the most popular runs of dialog. But of course, here and there, somebody's favorite line will be missing. There's just no way around it... it's the price of success. On the bright side, I think in many cases the pacing of the episodes has been improved slightly, and some subtle visual improvements and error corrections have been made as well. Some episodes may well be improved on the whole. Rest assured, no cuts are being made by anyone outside our production office.

The Comedy Central cable network, which broadcast both new and old episodes in the U.S., also has the option of showing either the original or syndication versions of the show. In the case of reruns, they are switching to the new syndication versions. New episodes should continue to air uncut, and the original full-length versions of course remain available for download and on DVD.

That's all... back to work for me now on 26 more new ones...

\"You Guessed It! You Can't Unguess It!\" Futurama Trivia is interesting if true! And it is true! 3 rounds of mathematically flawless, alien eye-popping trivia backed by the viewing of three different classic Futurama episodes - and you don't even need a $300 Nixon tax rebate to participate because it's free. Sound too good to be true, like two meals in one week? Prepare to be surprised!

WHERE: Melody Bar, The Gladstone Hotel - 1214 Queen Street West.

WHEN: 8:00pm, September 27, 2011 (and again every two months, with our next gathering November 22nd!)

HOW IT WORKS: In classic pub trivia style, 'You Guessed It! You Can't Unguess It!' is three rounds of challenging questions about Futurama Volumes 1-4. Form a team of up to 6 friends and write down your answers on provided sheets; at the end of each round, you swap your sheet with another team just like in grade 6, and mark 'em. Then hand them in and enjoy an episode on the big screen! And did we mention prizes?

Special thanks to WOO-HOO!: Classic Simpsons Trivia for helping to organize this most natural progression. They are our big brother out of neither revenge, spite, malice nor boredom.

Invite your friends! It's fun for the whole family! (except grandma & grandpa)

And finally...

In tonight's ALL NEW episode 'Fry Am The Eggman' is a song called 'Eggman' by Australian artist Eli Wolfe who released his self titled debut LP in September last year. You can find out more about the song and Eli on his official site or Facebook page.
Eli told us a little more on how he came up with the song:

\"The song Eggman first came to me as a painting. I awoke one day with my head was so full of information and thought that I felt it was going to explode! With a canvas on the floor, I promptly splashed down a blue base, which serves as the ether, and suspended in it a white cracking egg with a limping skeletal body.

Now relieved and pondering upon the 'Eggman', I relaxed while playing the guitar. A guitar riff formed, which is the angular rhythm of Eggman's quirky stride. The words that followed the music were ladened with images and symbols that delve into the human psyche and an inner-desire for an expansion of consciousness. There was no inspired or creative relation to The Beatles song 'I am the Walrus', it was simply a subliminal image that birthed from how I was feeling at the time. Putting it all together with image and music, the final upbeat song moves along with a fun and delirious momentum. Enjoy!\"

Toynami, who have been very successful in the past with scale models for Futurama is bringing out some really rather cute Futurama mini vinyl figures very soon. You can pre-order now.

Katey Sagal appeared on Kevin Smith's Plus One Per Diem podcast last week along with her husband Kurt Sutter. Have a listen here. She briefly mentions Futurama.

Here's comes the info!
10pm ET: Neutopia(Actually production episode 20 of the 26 produced for last year and this):
We encounter an alien that does not understand the concept of 'gender' and so when it meets the crew it goes about conducting experiments such as altering their own genders.
10:30pm ET: Benderama(actually episode 17 of the 26):
Written by Aaron Ehasz(Crimes of the Hot, Future Stock), this episode sees Bender gain the power to infinitely self-replicate, producing ever greater quantities of smaller and smaller Benders. The awesome Patton Oswalt guest-stars as a horrific creature who is sensitive about his appearance (in the script, he just goes by the name 'Unattractive Giant Monster').

With past renewals, the voice actors were seemingly contacted just before negotiations commenced or at the very beginning of negotiations to make sure that they'd be available for the show. This has caused confusion regarding the status of the show before.

iF: Do you feel comfortable you'll get another order with Comedy Central or do you still have that continual worry like you had at Fox?

COHEN: On Fox, I definitely worried about it. When you're on a network like that, there's a schedule for these things where they tell you if you're picked up or not. Since we did the DVDs and are back for this strange giant order of 26, or two 13s, however you look at it, it's been much more random and I've come to expect nothing anymore, neither good nor bad. I just tend to roll with whatever develops. There's no schedule for this kind of order anymore, where \"you're picked up on a certain date or go home.\" Comedy Central have 13 in the bank for next year. They may or may not feel the rush, but at least from our point of view, we do need more than a year of lead-time to get our operation up and running. If they do want more, we would like to hear soon.

Season Premiere Leads COMEDY CENTRAL To Its Highest-Rated Night Of The Year And Best Thursday Prime Ever Among Young Men


NEW YORK, June 28, 2010 -- The Emmy® Award-winning animated sci-fi comedy \"Futurama,\" resurrected by COMEDY CENTRAL, made an out-of-this-world return and, with 2.9 million total viewers, became the highest-rated and most-watched season premiere for an animated series on cable with the exception of \"South Park.\"

\"Futurama\" follows the life of Philip J. Fry (Billy West), a pizza delivery boy who accidentally stumbles into a freezer on December 31, 1999 and wakes up a thousand years later. In his future home of New New York City, Fry goes to work for the Planet Express Intergalactic delivery company, where he befriends Bender (John DiMaggio), a booze-fueled robot, and sets his romantic sights on Leela (Katey Sagal), a sexy cyclops who enjoys beating him up.

Ladies, gentlemen, and smizmars,

Futurama is about to be reborn today. After its long absence from TV (with four DVD movies in between), Comedy Central shows the first two new episodes of Futurama at 10pm (9c) tonight!

The old voices are back, Matt Groening and David X. Cohen are responsible for the production again, and the Professor is back at inventing dangerously spectacular devices in the episode aptly called \"Rebirth\".

Right after Rebirth, the Zapper makes his return in the second episode called \"In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela\". The preview picture on the right promises lots of innuendo as he meets his imagined seductress Leela, who doesn't look a yahren older!

Bored waiting for the episodes? Watch a 7-minute recap of Futurama to get back into it. (Or just read through your old Futurama notebooks. You took notes, right?)

(Please no spoiling the plot in the comments and no links / hints to links. The review forms will go live after the episodes aired on TV.)

Sorry for the extreme lack of updates on the site. My internet was down for a while and I could only do updates via Twitter on my iPhone.

But the internet's back up and I'm back with a little treat for you all.
On Monday I'll be interviewing the fantastic Maurice LaMarche, voice of Kif, Morbo, Lrrr and many more.
We'll be having a chat about his work and of course about the upcoming return of our favourite 31st centurians!
The fun part is I'll be mixing in some fan-submitted questions. So, if you want to get involved email me(reed @ gotfuturama.com), ensuring the subject line reads LAMARCHE. In the email include one question and your name as you'd like it to appear if I choose the question.
Go for it! And remember, the more interesting the question, the more likely it will get picked! You can send as many emails as you like!

Now a round up of other Futurama news:
  • Comedy Central continue their very cool sneak peaks at the new season.
  • EW.com recently did a large interview with David X Cohen about the new season where he revealed lots, including more guest stars: Chris Elliot, George Takei, Mark Mothersbaugh & Devo, Patton Oswalt(Hell yes!), the return of Coolio and the first appearance by Mr Cohen himself!
  • David also talks about the 'Futurama of Physics' here!
  • The charming Aimee Steinberger has posted on her blog about the episodes she'll be Assistant Directing this season. A nice mini-read and while you're there check out some of her own work!

    A big thanks to all of you who have supported us over the years, contributed to the site, wrote on the message boards and generally been great meatbags.

    So on this day, here's a small teaser from David X Cohen:
    Episode 100 which was recorded the other day may serve as a mini-season finale depending on Comedy Central of course. Also, episode 101 is an Anthology of Interest-style episode with 3 stories based on Xmas, Robanukah, and Kwanzaa.

    Hollywood Reporter:
    Taking a page from the \"Family Guy\" resurrection guidebook, the canceled Fox animated comedy is returning with an order from Comedy Central for 26 new episodes to run over two seasons. [...]

    Comedy Central was happy with the specials and with the 72 produced episodes of \"Futurama\" it acquired from 20th Century Fox TV in 2006. \"Yet there is nothing like new, self-contained episodes week to week,\" said Comedy Central's senior vp programming David Bernath. \"This is all about reinvigorating the franchise, giving it a new burst of energy. [...]

    \"When we brought back 'Family Guy' several years ago, everyone said that it was a once in a lifetime thing that canceled series stay canceled and cannot be revived,\" said 20th TV chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden. \"But 'Futurama' was another series that fans simply demanded we bring back.\"

    Entertainment Weekly:
    A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox Television confirms that the cable net has ordered 26 new episodes of Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's late, great animated series to air beginning in 2010. The studio cites Futurama's \"blockbuster\" performance on DVD and in reruns on Comedy Central as the reason for its rebirth.

    Variety:
    As part of the deal, 20th still has an option to license the new episodes' original runs to a broadcast network (such as Fox). If the show does go to broadcast, Comedy Central's license fee will be reduced.

    \"It's a deal we're all happy with,\" said Comedy Central programming senior VP David Bernath. \"It's a bigger win for us promotionally if we wind up going first... but if we wind up in second position, then the economics work out for us as well.\"


    So, good news, everyone!

    We'll most likely hear more about the new Futurama episodes at Comic Con in July.

    \"FUTURAMA\" RETURNS TO PRODUCTION WITH AN INITIAL ORDER OF 26 NEW EPISODES TO PREMIERE MID 2010

    Emmy Award-Winning Animated Comedy Series Confirmed To Run On COMEDY CENTRAL; Broadcast Network Run Also Possible

    NEW YORK, June 10, 2009 -- 20th Century Fox Television, the animation powerhouse that brought \"Family Guy\" back from the dead five years ago, has done it again: Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's brilliantly subversive animated sci-fi comedy \"Futurama\" will return to production on 26 new half-hour episodes more than six years after the series aired its last original episode. The move comes on the heels of the series' blockbuster performance on DVD and on COMEDY CENTRAL; the announcement was made today by Twentieth Century Fox Television Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden, and David Bernath, senior vice president, programming for COMEDY CENTRAL.

    \"Futurama\" was a staple of Fox's Sunday night animation block from 1999 to 2003 before ceasing production on original episodes. In June 2006, COMEDY CENTRAL acquired the rights to the existing 72 episodes of the series, which the channel began airing in January 2008, and four recently-produced extended length \"Futurama\" adventures: \"Bender's Big Score,\" \"The Beast with a Billion Backs,\" \"Bender's Game\" and \"Into the Wild Green Yonder,\" which enjoyed enormous success both on COMEDY CENTRAL and in DVD release. This new deal marks the show's return to episodic series production on original episodes. \"Futurama\" becomes only the second series in the history of the medium to go back into production based on the strength of its DVD sales and repeat airings on cable.

    The new episodes will be available in mid 2010 to be shown on COMEDY CENTRAL. Twentieth Century Fox Television retains the option to license the original runs of the new episodes to a broadcast network.

    \"We are excited to continue our relationship with Matt, David and 20th Century Fox TV and to be able to offer COMEDY CENTRAL viewers the first opportunity to see new episodes of 'Futurama,'\" said Bernath. \"As evidenced by the strong performance of the extended length epics, there remains a deep and passionate fan base for this intelligent and very funny show that matches perfectly with our audience. It's fantastic that we can add brand-new installments of Leela, Fry and Bender's adventures to our existing library.\"

    Quipped Matt Groening, \"We're thrilled 'Futurama' is coming back. We now have only 25,766 episodes to make before we catch up with Bender and Fry in the year 3000.\" Added David X. Cohen, \"We're excited and amazed that the show is coming back, perhaps due to some sort of mysterious time loop. We look forward to working with COMEDY CENTRAL and 20th Television to make this the best iteration of the loop yet!\"

    \"When we brought back 'Family Guy' several years ago, everyone said that it was a once-in-a-lifetime thing - that canceled series stay canceled and cannot be revived,\" commented 20th Century Fox TV Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden. \"But 'Futurama' was another series that fans simply demanded we bring back, and we couldn't have been happier when Matt and David agreed that there were many more stories yet to tell.\"

    \"Futurama\" focuses on the life of Philip Fry (Billy West), a 25-year-old pizza delivery boy who accidentally freezes himself on December 31, 1999 and wakes up 1,000 years later with a fresh start at life and a \"diverse\" new group of friends including Leela (Katey Sagal), a tough but lovely one-eyed alien and Bender (John DiMaggio), a robot who possesses human characteristics and flaws. The series aired for five seasons on Fox (1999 to 2003) earning Emmy

    PEEL user soylentOrange found a nice article called \"9 Odd Things We Now Know About Futurama\" on totalfilm.com. With the movie \"Into the Wild Green Yonder\" coming out in mere days, their staff sat down with Futurama producers Matt Groening and David X. Cohen plus the four voice actors Billy West, Lauren Tom, Maurice Lamarche, and Phil LaMarr.

    The ninth odd thing is about the possibility of Futurama returning:
    Matt Groening: We would love to continue making more Futurama episodes in whatever form... Except Pogs.

    I think we haven't even exhausted all the story ideas that we came up with back when the show started in '99.

    David Cohen: Every morning, and I'm not making this up, I find myself thinking in the shower about the next episode that we'll do after this one. I have it mostly worked out, so we're ready to go if the call comes in.

    There is a chance of it coming back as the DVDs sold well.

    While the article does not state when exactly this discussion took place, it matches our previous information. There is interest to do more Futurama - certainly on the creative side. The money-giving side does not seem to have made up its mind just yet though.

    \r\n
    Q: Rich, could you please tell our listeners how you've been involved in the Futurama series exactly over the past few years?

    A: My involvment with Futurama, it started ... God, is it about 10 years ago? I've known Matt Groening since the beginning of the Simpsons. I was a director on The Simpsons from season one to five. That's where I met Matt. We both enjoyed working with each other. Or I should say, I enjoyed working with Matt. I don't want to speak for him. Maybe he hates me. I don't know.
    Back in 1998... well waaay back like in season two of The Simpsons, Matt and I had spoken about an idea that he had about a new show which was going to be a science fiction show kind of what The Simpsons were to say like The Flintstones, this new show would be his take on The Jetsons. We talked a little bit about it and were real excited about it back then. And it just kinda went away because we were so busy on The Simpsons. Then in 1998 he called me again and talked about his idea and wanted me to come by and talk with him and David Cohen about it. And this show turned out to be Futurama.

    It has been half a year since the last Futurama movie made its way to DVD. Time to review \"The Beast with a Billion Backs\"! How does it compare to \"Bender's Big Score\"? It is somewhat different and yet very Futurama-esque. The plot is much more straightforward this time with no confusing time-travel paradoxes to puzzle out. Since I like puzzling out things, I liked \"Bender's Big Score\" a bit better. But Beast with a Billion Backs is not trailing by much.

    The review mentions a few plot details but tries not to give too much away. Still, if you do not want to know anything about the plot before you have seen it, I suggest you just buy it. Don't think anyone visiting this site could be seriously disappointed.

    Look what's to be won! I had a great 11\" x 17\" (28cm x 43 cm) print of the cover for the second Futurama movie \"The Beast with a Billion Backs\" in the mail yesterday. It's been signed by the executive producers David X. Cohen and Matt Groening, who also doodled a little Bender on it. Perfect for framing!

    So, here is the deal.
    Since we don't have a virtual Deathball game to figure out who should get it, we'll use YouTube instead. Your task: Create and upload a new video to the CGEFContests YouTube group by July 1st, 2008. The video must contain no footage of Futurama itself but must be Futurama related. You could reenact your favorite scene, show off that Zapp Brannigan costume you made or create a little finger puppet play. As long as it is Futurama related, it counts. Be creative and make it fun to watch!

    The fine print:

    \r\n
    • You must be at least 13 years old and in case you aren't an adult yet, have permission of a parent or guardian to take part.
    • Again: The video must have no footage from Futurama itself!
    • It must be a previously unpublished video created by you, not something you found on the internets.
    • Make sure that your video is uploaded to the CGEFContests group on YouTube.
    • The winner will be picked by our one-woman-jury 'edel' and then contacted for shipping details.
    • The contest is not restricted to the US.

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE


    THE FEATURE-LENGTH ACTION EPIC 1000 YEARS IN THE MAKING ARRIVES...

    FUTURAMA IS BACK, BABY!

    In Fox Home Entertainment's First Carbon-Neutral Release, Fry, Leela, Professor Farnsworth And Bender Triumphantly Return On DVD November 27


    Century City, CA - The future is back...and it's cleaner than ever! Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment presents the first of four direct-to-DVD Futurama adventures when Futurama: Bender's Big Score makes its highly anticipated DVD debut on November 27. As the studio's first carbon-neutral release, the carbon impact of the production, manufacture and distribution of the Futurama Bender's Big Score DVD was directly assessed and actively reduced. For the unavoidable emissions, the studio used high-quality, verified carbon offsets. Futurama: Bender's Big Score also features an eco-friendly highlight: a cameo from former Vice President Al Gore, guest starring as himself.

    The first feature-length Futurama action epic, with three more adventures expected through 2009, finds the Futurama crew fighting to save Earth in an epic battle against nudist alien Internet scammers. It's nearly Christmas 3007 when evil naked aliens launch a cyber-attack on the Planet Express and make a shocking discovery: the secret of time travel, mysteriously tattooed on Fry's buttocks. Using their devious nudist software to control Bender, the aliens send him through history where he has run-ins with the likes of Al Gore, Coolio (Daredevil, Batman & Robin) and Sarah Silverman (The Sarah Silverman Program, School For Scoundrels).

    In addition to the never-before-seen movie, the Futurama: Bender's Big Score DVD features commentary from Matt Groening, David X. Cohen and cast members Billy West, John DiMaggio, Phil LaMarr, Dwayne Carey-Hill and Ken Keeler; an animated promo for An Inconvenient Truth starring Bender and Al Gore, with commentary by the former Vice President, Matt Groening and David X. Cohen; an all-new episode entitled \"Everybody Loves Hypnotoad\" including TV commercials of the future; a Futurama mind-shattering math lecture; character and design sketches and deleted scenes. Futurama: Bender's Big Score will be available for a suggested retail price of $29.98 U.S./$37.98 Canada.


    Synopsis:

    [note by CGEF: potential SPOILER - highlight to read]
    Uncancel your plans for the future: Futurama is back! In this all-new, feature-length epic, evil nudist aliens send Bender on a rampage through time, forcing him - slightly against his will - to steal all of Earth's priceless historic treasures. Will the heroic Planet Express crew save the planet? Will Leela find true love? Will the ancient and terrible secret of Fry's buttocks be exposed? All will be revealed in Futurama: Bender's Big Score, the greatest adventure of our time, and also the greatest adventure of several other times! In the words of a certain beer-fueled robot...\"We're back, baby!\"

    DVD Special Features:
    The Futurama: Bender's Big Score DVD will be presented in full screen format with English Dolby Surround 5.1, along with English, French and Spanish subtitles. Bonus features include:

    In the run-up to the release of the first out of four feature length Futurama movies, Bender's Big Score, we were lucky to snatch an interview with David X.

It's got lots of great Bender and Zoidberg moments. All the old regulars who have appeared have their own scenes. But it's very accessible to people who haven't watched a whole lot.

    \"We are thrilled that Matt Groening and 20th Century Fox Television have decided to produce new episodes of 'Futurama' and that Comedy Central will be the first to air them.\"
    \"There is a deep and passionate fan base for this intelligent and very funny show that matches perfectly with our audience, and it is great that we can offer them not just the existing library but something they've never seen as well.\"

The network has an option for new episodes, which currently are being produced for Cartoon Network's Adult Swim late-night block.
    However, with the last line about episodes in production for CN:AS being wrong, we can only wonder how accurate the rest of the information is.

    In this context, Groening himself stated in a recent interview with the A.V Club that 4 DVD movies are going ahead:

    MG: We're going to do four of them, straight to DVD. And as we speak, I'm exchanging e-mails and ideas with David X. Cohen and Ken Keeler, both of whom worked on the show from the very beginning.

    Lots and lots of things were said in this update, but all of them turned out to be wrong. For archival purposes, I wont delete it. But the conversation involving the topic is closed, and please take note to the two updates made at the bottom of this news piece. Thanks, and sorry for any confusion.

    Our friend Billy West has once again spilled the beans. According to a post he made on his message board, Futurama is going to be renewed for television with 26 episodes. No word as to what station it will be on, who will rejoin the cast, or whether it'll be two seasons that would consist of 13 episodes each or one HUGE season of 26 episodes. Please keep in mind though, all this information is still very unofficial. Nothing is down on paper. No contracts signed. Nada. NOTHING. But, it's still pretty awesome.
    I'm this close to selling my show--''Billy Bastard--Amateur Human Being,'' And the other good news is that they're doing 26 new episodes of ''Futurama'' for TV and we're hammering out the deal now. The original plan was to have the DVD's first but that's no longer the case.I'm totaly jammed dude.

    Greetings from the year 3000! It still sucks!

    Billy
    Update:
    I'm getting different bits of info that say this news may not be the case.There IS something up Futurama project wise but but it might be the DVD's still.It's hard to keep up with things--but I'll try to do better.

    Sorry,
    Billy
    So there you have it folks, the return of Futurama as a series may not be the case as of right now. In related news that backs up the idea of Futurama coming to DVD rather than TV, Bill Morrison recently spoke to a fan about how the Futurama Movie script is almost finished at a convention in Germany. Woot.

    Update 2: (mArc)
    Another well-informed source tells us that there was no basis in reality for the 26 episode rumor. The plan to make direct-to-DVD movies is still existing.

    Update 3: (Jon)
    Bill Morrison was misquoted as to say that the Futurama script is almost finished, and rather was speaking about a Simpsons Movie script. As of now, there's no Futurama script.

While you're on the site, be sure to notice the good deals regarding their Futurama Pop-Out People and Leela Bendy figure, which are 50 and 60% off retail price. Not bad, not bad at all.

Witness the Santa Robot's reign of terror when we dare answer the question 'What if it was X-mas every day?'

    The studio is in early discussions to put \"Futurama\" back in production and create a limited number of episodes of the Emmy Award-winning skein -- although it's too soon to tell where those segs might end up. A reprep for 20th Century Fox TV declined comment.
    The story got mirrored in a number of general news sites. Of course, Variety is usually very close to the sources, so there was a chance that a change to the status of Futurama had happened. However, this is only the case in a very limited way. The talk is still about the DVDs (not TV, for all we know) and it is still ongoing.

    Attack of the West
    If you haven't noticed, us here at CGEF like to take our damn time with updating. And because of this, we failed to mention that there were two Billy West signings in the California area within the last month. If you missed out, we're very sorry... not really though.

    The first trek involved Billy at a comic book convention at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles on October 9th. Each signature had a price tag, but all the proceeds went to Hurricane Relief. One fan spoke to Billy and he stated that he was a little too quick to say \"The Futurama movie is a go\" a few months back, and instead said that the movie is still in talking form, no contracts have been signed. This doesn't really mean much, though, so don't worry, we'll still most likely get our movie(s).

    The last event was in Van Nuys at the Global Sci-Fi Expo
    at the Airtel Plaza Hotel which Marc speaks of in the update under this one. He supposedly was \"signing stuff, selling CDs and posters etc.\" It was held on the 4th, 5th, and 6th of this month.

    We're sorry about this, hopefully we can let you know when it happens BEFORE it happens. If anyone went, please send us a report about it with photos!

    Boondockurama
    It's been brought to my attention by Futurama fan S.D. Morehouse that Billy West and John DiMaggio are both lending their voice talents on the new Cartoon Network animated adaptation of the comic strip The Boondocks. I'm unable to figure out what character(s) they do, though. Boondocks airs Sundays at 12AM on Cartoon Network.

    Futurama mentioned in Family Guy Movie
    If you've picked up a copy of the straight to DVD movie of Family Guy titled \"Stewie Griffin - The Untold Story\" then you'll most likely already know this. But if you're like me and don't pay much attention to Family Guy, you'll now have the chance to know what took place in the DVD. During the beginning of the movie, Stewie is asked by an Entertainment Weekly journalist on a red-carpet event \"when will Fox bring back Futurama?\" with which he replies with by breaking the reporters neck... I personally see this as a jab at Futurama with Stewie seemingly being afraid of Futurama being on the air (because Futurama is so much better, maybe?) But according to the DVD commentary, it was just a jab at Entertainment Weekly because they gave Family Guy a bad review once. Ha? Thanks to Jeff for telling me about this.

    Bill Morrison interview
    If you're not familiar with the name, Bill Morrison used to be an Art Director for the series Futurama, and does countless tasks at Bongo Comics. He recently sat down with the Spanish Simpsons fansite titled The Simpsons Robertuybrush Page. Luckily for anyone who can't speak Spanish, there is an English translation of the interview here. Bill talks about all things Simpsons, Bongo Comics, and Futurama. Here's a small tidbit of the very detailed interview :

    Question:-According to various rumours and Matt Groening's and Billy West's words, Futurama may come back in form of DVD movie/s. Do you know something about it? Is there hope for a comeback of the TV show? Is there a real reason behind Futurama's cancellation?

    Bill Morrison: It's definitely in the works, though I'm not sure if they've actually inked the deal yet. If they do the DVDs and they are successful (buy multiples!!), I think the show has a real shot for a comeback. Everyone who worked on it is anxious to see this happen. It was a great experience, and one we'd like to repeat. Basically, Futurama was cancelled because there was nobody at Fox at the time who cared enough about it to give it the proper time slot. Things have since changed, and the people who exist there now are quite fond of it, I'm told.

    It seems that FOX has finally given the Futurama Direct-to-Video the green light. In the first of IGN's exclusive Video Blogs direct from San Diego's Comic-Con International, voice actor Billy West (Fry, Zoidberg, the Professor, and many more voices for many more shows) revealed to us that a brand-new direct-to-video Futurama movie has been greenlit. There is also an option on a second dvd.

What's interesting and Futurama-related is that in one of the commentary tracks, someone from the show asks John what's up with Futurama. Here's the transcript of the commentary :
    Someone else: This one's just for John. I think Cinescape reported that FOX is thinking about bringing Futurama back straight to DVD. Have you heard that?
    John: Actually, I was at the 350th episode of The Simpsons party over at FOX and ran into David X. Cohen and Matt. And David said \"Yeah, we're gonna do some straight to DVD movies.\" I said \"all right, well, when I hear Matt say it I'll know.\" Then I said \"Matt, what's up? Give me the straight stuff.\" And he said \"Yeah\". So basically, I think what they're gonna do is they're gonna ... do straight to DVD movies that'll be on the air quality. And if FOX wants to put them on, Matt will be like \"Guys, put'em on.\" Looks like we're gonna do it. I haven't heard anything contract-wise or anything like that. So ... anything can happen. But once I sign my name on the dotted line, I'll be singing in the streets.
    This is a month or two old, so it's not really confirming anything. It's merely some exciting news to add onto the idea of new Futurama material for the near future. Thanks to FryFan and his friend from the Kim Possible community for showing us this tidbit of information.

    Futurama Comics #20 out now
    Last Wednesday #20 of Futurama comics became available. The issue has a few pages of fanart and emails, fun stuff. Go buy the comic at your local book store, or buy it online at milehighcomics.com, then go review it.
    Never before in the history of comics has there been an issue quite like this one! Bender, feeling under-appreciated, goes off on a mind-bending, time-twisting, space continuum-shattering odyssey that will take him across the galaxy and through the offices of Bongo Comics in a mad, mad, mad, mad chase. Only you, dear reader, will be able to bring him back when \"Bender Breaks Out!\"

With the brittle fabric between reality and fiction stretched beyond its limits, the entire citizenry of Springfield finds itself trapped in New New York a thousand years in the future. Once there, the advanced 30th century populace, which has overcome war, famine, and cured the common cold, does what any technologically and morally evolved culture would do.

    Not many people realize this but today is CGEF's 5th anniversary, and I was thrilled at the opportunity to commemorate this event. When Andie and I first started this site on January 15, 2000, we had no idea what we were starting! What we wanted at the time was a mega-fansite to compete with a few other popular fansites at the time. Those sites aren't around anymore, needless to say!

    There was a time when the site was in trouble with paying the hosting fees, and I was in over my head as a co-founder. I made the mistake of shutting CGEF down. Had it not been ressurrected by Andie, Marc, and Jon several months later, there probably wouldn't be a 5th anniversary. Yes, they have done a wonderful job in running this site, and they have exceeded my expectations in too many ways to count!

    The real people we all should be thankful for, however, are YOU fans. After Fox axed Futurama, you continue to watch the reruns on Cartoon Network. You are buying the DVD boxed sets. You are reading the comic books. You are writing letters to Fox about your disgust for the cancellation. Futurama's fan base has breathed new life into the series with its fan art and fan fiction and various other contributions. YOU are keeping Futurama alive, and that is something to be very proud of. It's a long shot, but maybe with the return of \"Family Guy\" we may also (eventually) see the return of the series.

    Question: Do you think we'll get to see more Futurama?

    David X Cohen:Well, I don't want to give false hope to any Futurama fans, because we haven't heard anything specific from the Fox network.

    If Family Guy comes back and it's a bit hit, I think somebody at the network would have to turn their attention back to Futurama to at least consider it for another five minutes.

    Question: Whose head would you like to see preserved?

    David X Cohen: At this moment I'm going to say my girlfriend Patty. When she reads this article it's going to score me a lot of points.
    I felt it was necessary to mention Mr Cohen's girlfriend on this site too to give him some extra points. Thanks to wu_konguk from PEEL for pointing this out to us.

    just recently is a new piece of Futurama Giclee* art. It depicts Fry running for
    President of the United States of America against Nixon's head and a donkey. Bender
    is in the crowd with a sign that reads "Fry: If you can't beat him, eat him!"
    - such a lovable little rascal. Only 200 of these pieces were made, so it's
    very limited. The print can be bought at Wonderful
    World of Animation     for 125$ unframed.



    *Giclee definition from WWOA's website: Giclees (j'clays) are the latest in reproduction animation
    art. According to Linda Jones Enterprises (distributer of Chuck Jones' art),
    the giclee is "a french word which means 'spray of ink'. Because no screens
    are used, the prints have a higher apparent resolution than lithographs... more
    than four million droplets per second... the prints are lush and velvety with
    the feel and luminosity of a watercolour."

    They have numerous Futurama art items including 8 different Giclee's, 23 production

Evil people! After repenting for a while, see what David X. has got to say:
    Hello, all!

    David X. Cohen here. I just wanted to reassure everyone that even if my new show \"Grandmaster Freak & The Furious 15\" gets on the air (always a long shot in this business), I will never stop lobbying to bring Futurama back -- unless it does come back, in which case I will stop lobbying for it to come back. This doesn't put any new nails in Futurama's coffin; at the same time, it doesn't pry out any nails that were already there. I guarantee you that if FOX is interested in bringing Futurama back, Matt Groening & I will find a way. In fact, if FOX ends up paying me to do another show, then if anything it might make it more economical for them to bring Futurama back.

    The new pilot is an idea I've been working on for over a year. Obviously it's completely different from Futurama, but I am very excited about it. It's based somewhat on my own school years... I grew up in Englewood, New Jersey, in the time and place where the show is set (the early-to-mid 1980's). Englewood was home of Sugar Hill records, where many early rap hits were recorded.
    I have long been a rap fan, and especially a fan of Ice Cube, so I approached him to see if he was interested in being involved... and he was. The show is not actually about music; it's about the intertwined daily lives and adventures of the many odd characters in the show. We are not currently planning musical performances in every episode, as the Variety article said, though there will be music when relevant to the episode.

    The Variety article leaked out early, hence there were no comments from me or FOX that might have better explained some of it.

    If I can quote Matt Groening for a moment: When executives told Matt that they had expected Futurama to be more like the Simpsons, he replied, \"It's just
    like the Simpsons -- new and original.\"

    I'll try my best to make the same apply here!

    Yours,

    - DXC
    OK, so maybe I was a bit concerned too since I wasn't really into that or any kind of music around the early 80s. But if it turns out to mostly be the backdrop of the series, all is fine. I just hope it will be branded/advertized carefully by FOX in order to not put off the \"rap is stupid\"-people before even seeing it.
    We know who's behind this show and should - if anything - not hold that against Grandmaster Freak in a \"it's not Futurama\" way. It isn't Futurama, but it's also not aiming at replacing Futurama.

    Reruns get great ratings on the Cartoon Network. Any chance of a ''Family Guy''-like resurrection for ''Futurama''?
    We're trying to figure it out. If we can do more episodes, we'd love to. It's a very ambitious show, and it's very expensive. That's been a sticking point. What [co-developer] David Cohen and I would love is to continue many of the stories we worked out in advance. All science-fiction epics have an underlying theme, which is ''things are not what they seem to be,'' and that was certainly the case with ''Futurama.'' David and I worked for a couple of years [planning the show] before we even pitched it, and we haven't revealed all of the secrets that are embedded in it. There are even characters that we created back in the beginning of the series that we never got around to introducing. It looks like a goofy cartoon, but the underlying science-fiction ideas are pretty good.

    FUTURAMA COMICS #17
    By Boothby & Delaney
    Fry, Leela, Bender, and Cubert return to Earth from last issue's outer space adventure at boarding school only to find the planet Earth complete uninhabited. But before they can figure out where everyone has gone, they are forced to defend the planet from alien invaders who try to claim it under Intergalactic Planetary Salvage Laws. Fight the Future with Futurama Comics this May!
    Relase date: May 26th

    FUTURAMA COMICS #18
    By Verrone & Rivette
    After defending their recently uninhabited world from alien invaders, Fry, Leela, and Bender set out to discover the whereabouts of their missing colleagues as well as billions of citizens from Planet Earth. But \"where are they?\" soon turns into \"when are they?\" and \"how\" and \"why\" also make a little appearance in Part 2 of \"Time Bender Trilogy.\" Yes, there's time travel - so bring a change of clothes!

    I don't really know what's up with this. This confuses me. #17 is suppose to be part two, but #18 is? I don't even know when #18 will be released... Eh, if anyone knows what's up, make a comment.

    The 32-year-old actor will star in Mike Judge's comedy \"3001,\" as a man who wakes from sleep only to find out 1,000 years has passed.

    Although this project sounds similar to Fox's defunct cartoon \"Futurama,\" Fox's comedy featured a spacey delivery boy lost in a technologically advanced future whereas \"3001\" sets up Joe Bowers (Wilson) as the most intelligent person alive now that civilization is dumbed-down, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
    shooting is scheduled to start in mid-April and no futurama movie in sight :/

    Tonight marked the year's biggest event regarding TV animation awards as the 55th Annual Prime Time Emmy Awards in the Creative Arts categories were handed out at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. After winning its Outstanding Animated Program category last year with \"Roswell That Ends Well\", Futurama again was nominated this time around -- even though it had already received the letter of no confidence by FOX.

    <!--#include virtual=\"/Includes/GenericFoxRant1729.txt\"-->

    This year, the quite contentious episode \"Jurassic Bark\" had to bare its teeth as Groening's older brain child \"The Simpsons\" played the PC card with \"Three Gays Of The Condo\". Also nominated were episodes of \"As Told By Ginger\", \"Kim Possible\" and \"SpongeBob SquarePants\".

    Gay beats dog tears. Looking at the episodes at hand, I personally of course don't agree, but The Simpsons win this round and thus the Emmy at least stays \"within the family\". But I still have to congratulate executive producers Matt Groening, David X. Cohen and Ken Keeler, writer Eric Kaplan, director Swinton Scott and everyone else who made this dog die miserably and lonely. You guys brought the Emmy tally up to 4 nominations, 1 win and 2 juried/personal achievement awards in just 4 production seasons. Certain other cartoon shows running prime time on FOX and latenight on cable didn't even make the list this year. And that doesn't even have to be it as all episodes starting with \"The Sting\" are up for possible nomination next year. Go for it!

    As for those of us who weren't actually able to be at the Auditorium, don't miss the shortened broadcast of the event which E! TV will be broadcasting on the 19th at 6-8 p.m. ET/PT.

    You might have noticed that the \"Top Futurama News\" part on this site made way for a list of upcoming Futurama episodes on TV. If so, you may also have wondered why there is a FOX entry showing up on it.

    The answer is that FOX is going to air a few more Futurama reruns during the offseason. This Sunday, it's time for Kif to get knocked up a notch. The Sunday after, there will be a Futurama double feature comprising of \"Less Than Hero\" and \"The Why of Fry\". Looks like watching old ladies playing a game of wheelchair chicken isn't as big a hit as it would sound like being (the ratings were lower than Futurama's for a few weeks now).

    Now, to the episode: In addition, this episode was the A-pick of scifi.com weekly:
    in the end, Futurama produced four seasons of consistently outstanding television. That fine run comes to a close with \"The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings,\" a superbly funny ending to the series.
    Also, TVGuide gave the series a fare-well review:
    With tonight's finale, in which Fry declares his feelings for Leela by writing and performing an opera, there will be 72 episodes in the can. I like to think that somewhere in the near future, a Fox executive will surf into an episode one starry night, or what passes for one in L.A., and laugh. And then cry.

In this IGN front page linked article, he talks about what he did in the meantime, what he wants to do in the future (including a movie project with Ken Keeler - the writer of tomorrow's final episode), the long-shot hope for continuing Futurama with Cartoon Network, the slightly better Futurama movie possibility, the upcoming Season 2 DVDs, the Futurama Video Game and ... this very site A short excerpt:
    IGN DVD: Has there been grassroots fan efforts to save the show like there was with other series?

    Cohen: There have been huge efforts but the network hasn't been too interested. There is an online petition that as far as I know is the largest petition in TV history to save a show, and there's a Web site run by fans called GotFuturama.com. That site ended up being the central location for fans to go to, and I admit that I go there to see an air date or something I've forgotten. They have a link to it (the petition). I think at one point they delivered a hardcopy to Fox executives which must have been the size of five Manhattan phone books. (laughs)
    And before questions flare up, I think he got the thing about the Game Cube Futurama video game wrong. All signs still point towards no go there.","title":"David X.

    \"If you had asked me six months ago, I would have said there was no chance, forget it. But just strangely now, in the dying days of the show, it's suddenly a success on the Cartoon Network (which is airing the series in the U.S.). The ratings have been stellar by cable standards so the subject of bringing it back has arisen. But it's still an extremely long shot.\"

    The missing of 4ACV06 \"Bender should not be allowed on TV\" had many people including me wonder. The reason for this one to be postponed so much is that FOX aimed at using it as the series finale. Curiosity Company intervened to have the planned for semi-finale \"The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings\" go last instead. FOX promised to do so, but 4ACV06 still ended up second last (eg, not last).

    Both 4ACV06 and tomorrow's 4ACV17 will have a special opening theme. You'll like it. Also, they have a bonus at the end during the credits. Sadly, FOX is known to cut these off. Still, don't switch off your TV before you are sure that FOX screwed it.

  • Sun 20th: Bend Her
  • Sun 27th: Obsoletely Fabulous

    On the latter one I can reveal a bit more now (UPDATED: Now with corrections directly from the horse's mouth):
    When Fry, Bender and the Planet Express gang attend Roboticon 3003 - the world's largest robot trade show - the Professor purchases the new \"Robot 1-X\", which threatens to render Bender obsolete. Feeling inadequate, Bender returns to MomCorp for an upgrade, but becomes terrified that the procedure will erase his robo-humanity. In desperation, he escapes from the factory and becomes a castaway on a tropical island that seems uninhabited... or is it? Violence ensues.
    So, it is infact not a sequal to \"Bend Her\", but a separate episode about a separate Bender upgrade.

    After that we are expecting the final two episodes to air on Sunday the 3rd and 10th of August respectively.

    A: That one, some people felt we had gone too far, and you may have your own opinion about that! My assistant Michelle, she was literally mad at me for about a month that we chose that ending! People are all over the map on their responses to that episode. It seemed like once we actually started writing that one, it turned more and more into an episode about Fry and Bender and Fry's past, [...] and at some point we realised that we should not bring the dog back to life, because the episode is not really about that at all. That's why we decided to go the way we did. But I certainly sympathise with the people who think we went too far on that one! Personally I really liked it. I think we're going to submit that one to the Emmy awards, in fact, really go out on a limb and put out on that people either love or hate!

Replacing kid-friendly fare with off-kilter cartoons ranging from original fare like \"Aqua Teen Hunger Force\" to acquisitions like \"Futurama,\" \"Swim\" is draining pools of young viewers accustomed to broadcast fare from 11 p.m.-2 a.m.

    From January 13-March 23, \"Swim\" outdelivered \"Kimmel,\" \"The Tonight Show With Jay Leno,\" \"Late Show With David Letterman,\" \"The Late Late Show With Craig Kilborn\" and \"Last Call With Carson Daly\" in viewers 12-17, males 12-17 and males 12-24.
    CNN decorated the broad article with a promo shot of Futurama's \"Time Keeps on Slippin'\" and subtitled it \"'Futurama,' the Fox series now appearing on Cartoon Network, has been key to the latter's late-night success.\"

    The fans loved (Futurama), but they couldn't find it. It never got promoted. The fans delivered a petition with 130,000 signatures and there was no reaction from Fox.

    How can Dalton Ross suggest that Futurama \"just wasn't all that funny\" when he, and millions of other people, never got a chance to see it (Television: What to Watch)? Anyone who has tried to support this hilarious show can tell you that Fox sometimes preempted it for football, and gives it little advertising and less support than its trashy reality shows that took someone 30 seconds to develop. These are the real reasons why Futurama has never enjoyed the enormous success it deserves.

    As you probably know, this Sunday will be another rerun instead of a new episode. We are nearly in December and have only seen 2 episodes of what FOX calls a Season 5. The reason why there are no new episodes right now is Football of course. More accurately, it's the less than perfect time slot Futurama got. Next week, there will be a new Futurama episode, but ... it's going to be pre-empted for many again. Time to get involved.

    Look up your local FOX affiliate phone number and give them a polite call. Ask them why there won't be a new episode this Sunday yet again.

    Now to the episode:
    FOX seems to have chosen to take a \"mid production-season 4 episode\" (4ACV08) as the premiere because it features a guest star: Al Gore - voiced by himself.
    As Earth is unable to counter its rising temperature through the usual method (the dropping of a giant ice cube into the ocean), Gore leads an emergency conference in Kyoto, Japan, where Professor Farnsworth claims responsibility for the crisis. It seems love detoured him from observing proper emission standards on his prototype robot, and that could necessitate the destruction of all its \"descendants.\" That includes Bender, who resigns himself to having a farewell blowout before being blown up.
    It should be fun to see how the Futurama staff managed to integrate both Al Gore and Kyoto into an episode when his political opponent tried to rip the protocoll apart.

    When we last saw our fearless Planet Express crew, they were trapped in a Simpsons comic book for all eternity by the evil Brain Spawn! Professor Farnworth had been committed! Fry was trapped at Springfield Elementary School! And Nibbler, the only one holding together the delicate fabric of reality together, was having his brain lactified! Is all lost? Is there any future drama for the Futurama crew? Are they finally, truly and totally boned? Find out for yourself in the senses shattering finale of the epic we could only call... Chapter Two! Pre-order at Mile High

    Check out the new up-to-date comic book section for more info about Futurama Comic books.

    I also updated the pop-out people section with new pictures and descriptions of all the poppin people. Sadly, DarkHorse has stopped producing new pop-out sets, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't buy the 10 existing sets!

    Question: How successful has Futurama Comics been?
    Bill Morrison: Very successful. I think everybody who watches the show buys our comic book. And if the show gets canceled, the comic book will live on, because as long as the fans are out there and sales are good, we'll continue to do it.

Allegedly, the appearance of Joe Camel with the Marlboro Cowboy in 'Where the Buggalo roam' gave Futurama the honor. The word parody springs to mind. That scene was clearly geared towards poking fun at how the tobacco industry tries to charm teens with the usage of kid-friendly heroes.

    Can't expect these Sacramento teens to get that, I guess. It's a bit sad to see a show like Futurama trying to help the cause of an organization and then getting a bad-rep award by the same organization.

    Standard Fox Reply:
    You really should stop listening to False Rumors!!
    False they say. The story about Futurama' future being very uncertain has been confirmed by Matt Groening himself and by many other people from the production team.
    FUTURAMA will be back this coming Season with a full season of ALL-NEW episodes!!!!!
    New you say? Not entirely the truth... The episodes that will be aired in the so called new season are in fact leftovers from the last seasons that weren't aired. There are no new episodes in production.
    We have enough ALL-NEW episodes to air for the entire 2002/03 Season!!
    Basicly confirming our story, and repeating themselves.
    Note: We don't pick up ANY FOX show for the 2003/04 Season until MAY 2003 - so check back with us in a year to see if we have renewed FUTURAMA for another Season!! Hopefully the show will be with us for many years to come!
    !!
    Great, but IF they decide to renew the episode order then, they'd have to set up an entirely new production team, 'cause if there aren't any episodes made this year the animation team obviously had to go look for new jobs, right? Most of the team already broke up, assembling a new one and start producing takes longer than from May to season start.

    Our visitor PCC Fred got this letter printed in the British SFX magazine:
    Dear SFX,
    During your review of Futurama's fourth season in the June issue, you ask \"why isn't anybody watching this?\"
    There are two reasons. First, bad scheduling. In the US it's scheduled at a time where it's continually knocked off air by overrunning American football matches. On C4 it's shown far too early, and is then subject to a \"C4 edit\". In both cases it puts people off watching it.
    Second is lack of publicity. Except for when it actually started, Futurama has had little publicity on Sky or C4, and rarely gets mentioned in TV magazines. Even SFX isn't immune to this. The article in the June issue aside, there's been little coverage of the show. There was no review of the first season VHS/DVD releases, and even the show's cancellation only warranted a couple of inches of column space, with no mention of the online campaign to save the show at www.gotfuturama.com .
    It's a real shame that the show's been cancelled, because it's been one of the most well-written and wittiest shows to come out of America in years.
    Good points. Now, your turn to nag your TV magazine or press to write something up! Many of them have online sites with contact email addresses. Just point them to this site and ask nicely if they would like to have some article up in their magazine.","title":"various updates","date":"2002-07-27T13:50:24.000Z","author":null,"__typename":"Article"},"__typename":"ArticleEntity"},{"id":"549","attributes":{"text":"A little article appeared on the British Channel 4 Teletext (that's the small man's version of the internet) today tells us PCC Fred on PEEL:

    Speaking of Cinescape, Cinescape Online interviews executive producer, David X.

Basically, He says that there is about 20 episodes left to carry us through 2002 and 2003, but if FOX does decide to order more episodes it will be with a new staff. This is what we as fans have to fight. He offers:

    So write those letters, Cohen asked. Gail Berman, president of Fox Network. And Sandy Grushow, chairman of Fox Entertainment group. Physical letters are considered more effective than emails.

    Stay nice, tell him that the 7PM slot caused the problem, that about 70 people won't get their contract renewed at Rough Draft, that ordering more episodes later next year would be more expensive as a new team would need to be trained, that we want a second time slot for new episodes and that the old one is moved to a suitable time. Also, more publicity for the show is in order! Write that letter, it's important!

    Our petition is beyond 54,000 signatures now and about to pass the Family guy petition within just 4 days.

    And again: Spread the word! We now need to reach people who do not check the internet for Futurama stuff. If you know anyone who even remotely likes Futurama, for the sake of the people at RD keeping their well done job, tell them to write a letter and sign the petition!

    Here is my quick summary for those who didn't read above:

    FUTURAMA IS DEAD!



    Rough Draft called its animators yesterday, telling them they'll need to find a new job as FOX hasn't picked up the show for season 5. I can't name our sources, but they are credible.

    What do we do now?

    Well, we need to contact the people who make the decisions. YOU need to contact the people who make the decisions.

    This does involve writing a letter and having a stamp in case you live in the USA. So get that! Addresses and more to be announced as things emerge. In case you contact FOX by email, stay polite as you want something from them, not the other way round.

Ok, ok. Not yet. But it will be happy cause FOX seems to have decided to air the 4ACV Valentines episode 'Love & Rocket' on Sunday 10th Feb.

    Here is a snippet about its content coming from David X Cohen out of an interview he gave to scifi.com:
    \"Our Valentine's episode guest stars Sigourney Weaver, and she is a popular favorite around here. She is playing the voice of the Planet Express ship. It's a pretty abstract role she's taken on. The basic idea is they install a new personality in the ship, which has a female voice. Bender immediately falls in love with it and has a whirlwind romance with the spaceship itself.\"

    Let's hope they really show it and don't just ditch it again a day before it would air.

    Also, you can preorder the 2003 Futurama calendar at amazon.com now. It will be shipped in August, but it can't hurt to be on their list. Big preorder numbers cause them to stock more similar items. Plus it's 20% off right now.

With 32 episodes (13 in the current season 1 DVD set) out on DVD at the end of this year the value of a syndication will probably take a hit. It might be that FOX gave up on the idea to get Futurama syndicated or they just think that the DVD sales make up for more than what the value of the series drops in syndication.","title":"Season 2 DVD set","date":"2002-01-24T12:33:01.000Z","author":null,"__typename":"Article"},"__typename":"ArticleEntity"},{"id":"310","attributes":{"text":"Pattern was kind enough to send us another 3D picture, this time it's bender as Uncle Sam.

It went out of stock pretty soon after being released and finally got back at our associated store eMerchandise for $18.95

  • There are rumours of Rix Products producing Futurama stuff soon. I'd bet on playing cards with Futurama characters on them.

  • It's now less than a week till the UK Amazon will ship the region 2 DVD set and two weeks for the german set. The spanish set was postponed to late May but as far as we know it is the same set as the german one (just different labels) featuring sound in German, English, Spanish and scandinavian dubbing for the fans from Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Finnland.

    Most cities in the Eastern and Central time zones will see Futurama in its entirety, unless the local Fox station decides to show the Washington-Arizona game, in which case it will be joined in progress.

    Most definitely a full episode for:
    Charlotte, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, New York

    Slight chance of being shown in progress if the local football team's game is blacked out, but otherwise a full episode:
    Atlanta, Buffalo, Dallas, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, St. Louis, Tampa, Kansas City

    Now the sad ones ...
    Most likely to be shown in progress unless the local football team's game is blacked out:
    Boston, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Philadelphia

    Pretty sure to be shown in progress:
    Cleveland, Jacksonville, Memphis, Washington

    Local FOX stations may choose to air futurama complete a bit later. Don't count on that though.

    Q: Are you planning on introducing any new characters in the near future, or is the current cast pretty much complete?

    A: We're at the point now where I don't expect any major roles to be added. However, sometimes a side character appears and we take a liking to him or her, bringing them back whenever possible. Some side characters who will be reappearing here and there are Bubblegum Tate (Commander of the Harlem Globetrotters), Scruffy (the janitor), Cubert (the Professor's clone) and Hedonismbot (oh, wait, you've never seen him yet. Better prepare yourselves.).

    As noted before, season 4 is scheduled for a Dec. 9th premiere at its usual sunday time slot (7PM/6PM Central/Mountain). The episode to air as a premiere is going to be \"Roswell that Ends Well\", previously known as \"Top Secret Season Premiere Extravaganza\" and written by J. Stewart Burns (The Cryonic Woman, Mars University and others).
    Short premiere synopsis: \"An accident causes a supernova which sends the crew back in time to 1947, where they land in Roswell, Area 51. Fry and Bender's head have to go in for a rescue mission to free Dr Zoidberg and Bender's body from an army base where Fry's grandfather works.\"
    It really is an episode done in the season 3 production run.

    Quite some other Season 3 episodes have yet to air. Partly preliminary titles and summaries are (skip paragraph if you don't like to read spoilers):

  • 3ACV10 - Where the Buggalo Roam: Amy and Kif save the Buggalo herd of the Wong family from rustlers
  • 3ACV12 - The Route of All Evil: Cubert and Hermes' son Dwight use the Planet Express crew to help with their paper route.
  • 3ACV16 - A Leela of her own: Leela starts playing Blernsball as a pro
  • 3ACV17 - A Pharaoh to Remember: Leela, Fry and Bender become enslaved on a planet which resembles the ancient Egypts
  • 3ACV18 - Anthology of Interest II: 3 What ifs: Bender as a human, Fry in a Video game and Leela goes home.
  • 3ACV03 - A Tale of Two Santas: The episode not shown due to violence. It is scheduled to air Dec. 23rd at between 9 and 10PM together with the first XMAS episode. Possibly a guest star: Coolio.
  • 3ACV20 - Godfellas: Bender gets rocketed into space and meets god
  • 3ACV21 - Future Stock: Something weird happens on the annual share holder meeting
  • 3ACV22 - Ironic Chef: Bender tries to beat Elzar at a cooking marathon

    Some spoilers for the real season 4 episodes:
  • The episode currently scheduled for the season final will be about the cult of Star Trek that grew into its own religion around the 23rd Century and became too powerful in the coming centuries and thus got banned . Possibly featuring: William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy, George Takei, Walter Koenig, and Nichelle Nichols as voice guest stars.
  • A Valentines episode is to guest star Sigourney Weaver as the voice of the PE ship (it gets a personality upgrade which Bender grows quite fond of).

    Together with the 18 episodes out of the 4th production run a total of 72 episodes will have been produced. It is not that clear how many are actually going to show during Season 4 due to lots of football.

    OK, that's it for now, warm up your video tapes and buy chips already ;)
