This is the best thing that I have heard in a long time. I am from Australia and Futurama really didn't kick off too well over here. But once the box sets came out they sold out immediately.

I have watched every eppisode multiple times and have been waiting for this news for a very long time.

Congratulations for bringing back Futurama!

This is definitely good news, but I'm disappointed that Fox didn't show Adult Swim a little gratitude by taking their bid for the show. Even though their bid was lower than Comedy Central's bid, AS's perennial dedication to Futurama is what really made the DVDs a success.

Also, what happened to the four DVD movies? Is that plan off the table now? I was looking forward to seeing what Groening, Cohen, and friends would do with the series in the expanded format.

Best news ever , i cant wait , i miss this show so much

Great News. I believe I will now have to get cable again.

Great! 2008 can not come quickly enough.

Wow, this news made my day, week and month!

Interesting to see if they will still be progressing with the Direct to DVD releases too?? Either way, ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

Please say it is so,I've been dreaming of this day for a long time now. Please pinch me..this cannot be a dream. I just read the news on Yahoo and almost jumped out of my chair in joy,I had a sigh of relief and I have never felt so happy.

Barry - I'm pretty sure that the movies are still being made. However, now I'm really not sure. My idea was the movie would come out on Xmas 2007, which would tide us fans over until the new episodes began. But I don't know, and I'm really hoping Matt Groening or David X. Cohen will do an interview kind of clearing this all up. Like which starts production first, how the budget will effect the animation, if the movie is still slated for 2007, etc. As for the adult swim issue, I agree, but I'm also guessing Futurama will be much higher budget on comedy central than on Adult Swim, however that is purely speculative.

Forgive any typos, I'm just too excited.

OH YOUR GOD!

Man this is good news. but 13 episodes wouldnt be enough for me

Oh no, I'm not falling for THAT again.

Just kidding, this is great. I look forward to it. :]

13 ep's is the same as season one.
tho, i wish there would have been more...although
they say at LEAST 13 so... perhaps there will b more

This looks alot more official than the previous 3 or 4 "billy wests post on his own forum in druken and high as a kite stupour" rumours, which have been quashed once billy comes down and realises what the hell he did.

WAAAHAHAH! Futurama's BACK! THERE IS A GOD~! Here's to hoping they put it up against Family Guy, so it can kill off that horridly unfunny show once and for all.

Pretty amazing. Looks like all our DVD-buying/Adult Swim-watching worked. :D

wohoo! yeah! :))

simply great.

We shall party like the Greeks of old!

Omg im so exitied about this my friend had been watching the whole show and she watched the last episode today and cryed( she cryed 4 nothing), this is great

Let's boycott them. You know, to be awkward. ;)

All glory to the shippers...

my dreams come true?

OH MAN i'm so excited i wish i could wet my pants
insted i'm gonna freeze myself for a year watch the dvd movie freeze myself again and watch the new episodes it will be like the first time i ever saw futurama, all over again witch was the best 1/2 hour of my life
this one time i watch this boring gay ass movie only because it had Katey Segal in it... so i got 2 stickky pads and drew one picture with leelas mouth open and one with it shut it was the closest to futurama being animated in a long time made me feel warm and fuzzy inside

Holy Flurking Shnit!

I... I... I'm SO happy.
Nothing more to say than "Good news, everyone!"

AWESOME, AWESOME and AWESOME!! go futurama go

Lol i made this try and find the hidden futurama carictor (its one of those magic eye things lol)

We've heard this type of thing before where our hopes have gotten raised I just hope its really going to happen now. Its amazing 13 new episodes and 4 movies. HAHAHA

heres the link


kinda hard to see...

I hope some charactors dont get new voices

Now I can finish my DVD collection when I bought all of the episodes. This is great news. Personally I hope this helps to kill the Simpsons which has been on far too long and is sooooo old.

Well there was also this on Billy West's forum posted by the man himself: -

"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."

:-D

Can't Wait!!!

he retracted that comment ages ago

Good news to beat down my dread of going to basic training on sunday. Thank you Futurama.

Only one thing can be said at this moment.

OMG Futurama is teh back, LOLZ

ah, snap.

1. Season one is 9 episodes, production season 1 is 13...
2. What up with the movies?
3. Looks like CC has perspective... hope it doesn't abruptly stop at 13 episodes... in fact I hope this time it doesn't stop at all :)...

13 episodes is a fairly typical number for a season... espically a first season... and while this is obviously not a first season in truth, there are obviously parallels because it's restarting, which is a new beginning :)

Adult Swim should have gotten more props, sure. But Comedy Central promotes the heck outta their shows AND they can promote it during the day in a way that Cartoon Network really can't/won't because they have kids programming all day. If this move is true, it almost makes me forgive their treatment of MST3K... okay, maybe not. But almost. :)

I'm concerned about the voice talent too...But I'll take what I can get :)

Wow Great News. But post #2, Barry: do you think Fox care about dedication, they care about money and not much else. And post #19: I love Futurama but how could you girlfriend cry after watching it?? I thought the last episode was poor anyway.
Still though, YAY FUTURAMA's COMING BACK!

Qouting FuturamaFreak1-MOD

"OH MAN i'm so excited i wish i could wet my pants

Right on bro'. I've been(and I think I stil am) there. Comics, Fan-made comics/storys, nightmares/dreams, day-dreams and now 'stalking' the futurama crew? when will it end? :) In the mid/late '07 maybe?...

And BTW : (animated) Futurama is coming back(the single most important thing in the universe):

Me : Oh, snap!

=))... oh sorry but that line allways cracks me up.

Wondering if CC is hiring manatees?

I better get my cable company to add CC here!

INTELLIGENT is the key word here. Thats why futurama doesn't have the broad apeal that Family Guy has. its TOO smart for the ignorant public to apreciate it. But hey, we nerds need a show too! we are a demographic!

kick ass, it might be 2 years away, but still kick ass

Huzzahs are in order!!! Our patience and diligent efforts have paid off! (I wonder if that petition I added my name to had anything to do with the the show coming back....) This is some seriously good news. No need to quiver in fear earthicans--this pleases Morbo.

Oh God!! I'm so happy I wish I could wet my pants!!!!!

13 eps and 4 movies. If this is true there is a god, if not i will remain atheioist. I am being serial too.

How cool today is my birthday. What a present. This almost makes up for today being the day Phil Hendrie goes off the air. I wonder if he will be in any new episodes?

Quote from #38 (Gio)

"I love Futurama but how could you girlfriend cry after watching it?? I thought the last episode was poor anyway."

Them are fighting words. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but I thought the last episode was exceptional, especially after an episode like Spanish Fry(which I don't hate, but the last two acts aren't very good). I didn't cry either, but I thought the episode was very touching, moving, and, most important, veyr hilarious at points.

Today, is truly a great day.

I dearly hope this is true, but my dreams of this have been crushed so many times I'll have to see it to believe it

I approve of this.

who really cares. futurama sucks! simpsons rule!

Woo hoo! Like Brannigan's Law, bring it on hard and fast! "Sham-pag-na" for all!!!

To #48: fair point I just didn't like the opera in the last ep. And I also think that there are some people that take Futurama too seriously. It is a clever and hilarious show but not made for people to cry at.

Simpsons ruled...until season 9, which was almost a decade ago. Why bother being on a Futurama site anyway?

Seriously though, great news everyone! I've probably watched every episode about 20 times since the show went off the air and it's still better than all but a small handful of shows on TV. I haven't been able to watch any new Simpsons episodes since the late 1990s because of the horrendous writing and lack of any intellectualism anymore. Family Guy is mediocre, and American Dad is inconsistent (though with slightly more intelligent humor than Family Guy), so it's going to be fantastic to have a great cartoon show again.
Now if we could only convince someone to bring Arrested Development back...

I can't believe it, after so much false hope it's back alive. Too bad it couldn't stay on Cartoon Network, whoever thought Fox should have gotten it, forget it! They screwed it up horribly. I don't care how lame Comedy Central is otherwise, I'm watching my NEW Futurama in 2008. I wonder how the plot line of Leela and Fry will pick back up? I sure hope they get everyone back. Whoever does Zap's voice is doing car commercials here in the Washington DC area on radio. It always brings a smile to my face to hear the Zapper!

WOW yeah at last :) Zoidberg is really happy this timm LOL and I'm happy

"You can't give hope just because it's hopeless!"

Not so hopeless anymore!!!

Whooo hoooo!!

:D

I know there is sceptisism, I mean we've all had our hopes dashed before, but I trust Katy Segal. I'll celebrate properly after the press release, but I'm allowing myself a happy dance!!

Also, got my exam results today, and I passded pretty good!

What a day!

be very careful...do not believe every thing you hear or you will get burnt like toast. As for cartoon rankings, even king of the hill is better then sucky futurama.

My Smizmars! Embrace!

Yeah...I'm so happy it's back! I started watching when it was on Adult Swim and I loved it. They really should get credit for reviving the show. I can't wait to see it...2008 is so far!!

*pokes update to newspost fiercely*

Well, thanks for clarifying, [-mArc-]. Rather disappointing that so many "official sources" could misinterpret the 13/16 "episode" rumor so horribly, but it makes sense that Comedy Central would have the rights to air the movies. I'd personally rather have the movies over the new season (but those glorious 24 hours where I thought both would exist were nice while they lasted).

Adult Swim has wanted to make more episodes for a long time, it's just way too expensive to do such a thing considering the cost per episode and they just don't have the money. Either way, I am ready for more. Maybe we'll find out Leela and Bender's devine purposes now!

simpsonslover is condemned by the Space Pope.

OMG That promo thingy is out

youtube.com <--- go there its right on the front page It made me smile

OMG simpsonlover what are you even doing on a futurama website?

i like simpsons to but you dont have to be an ass by calling futurama "sucky" why dont u go sucky homers fat bald head or just piss off ur pending for a bending you chump or chumpette

Contrary to what has been said on this website, Futurama will come back on Comedy Central with 13 new episodes. There has been no word on the movies airing on CC.

Billy needs to stop posting on his messageboard when he's drunk. ;)

And by "drunk" I mean drunk with glee just from mere discussions of the possibility of working on Futurama. Nothing against him but he's jumped the gun before (a couple of times, right?) so I'm not believing 26 episodes. I hope it's true, but. . . at least we know that at 13 are confirmed. :)

dear simpsonslover:

i too was indeed a fan of the show. until i discovered something...something BETTER! and that thing was FUTURAMA!
it is way more intelligent, funnier and has 3D special fx.it has ALIENS, ROBOTS, SPACESHIPS, SPACE PIRATES, TIME TRAVEL & A GIANT RED LOBSTER!. what does the simpsons have?...not much, not counting the amount of fat people on that show, then it would have a heck lot.and as for "even king of the hill is better than futurama", well, eff u, i have never been able to bring myself to sit through an entire episode of king of the hill. i live in australia and unless u hav pay-tv it isnt on, know why? CAUSE ITS NOT GOOD!

anyways, back on topic: iv been watching every episode of futurama over and over (if they had a blooper real were the door didnt close all the way, id watch that too) and im ranting and raving for new ep's, or movies or whatever! iv been reading comic books of it to keep my spirits up.
anyways, im done here...

longest post ive ever made!!!

Jesus Christ, how can Futurama news get screwed up EVERY FRICKING TIME!?! Every few months someone says it comes back and I believe it less and less every time because someone always heard something wrong, how is it possible?! I actually believed it was coming back this time, even when everyone else was celebrating I waited a day or so before I finally believed it.

I have lost faith in all of humanity

Enter your comm
ent here. Please stay on-topic.

the fact that I am the ruler of the planet Omicron Persei 8 pisses me off, because I have to wait until 3008 before I can watch the new episodes, but other than that, I WILL NOT DESTROY YOU, just because matt groening and david x cohen inhabit your puny planet.

to "lurr" as the ruler of planet omicron persei 8, and be an intelligent and obviously rational being. you should know how to spell your own name. Lrrr i beleive is the correct spelling. and isnt his wife's name ndnd...or something?

i thought his wifes name was indunda

man i do not believe that they would make the 4 movies into episodes. that would just make the new episodes unexciting and already seen on DVD. and would just make everyone say stuff like "they should've kept it cancelled" i mean who wants to see 4 differant movies of the same series in episode form. why wont they make 13 or 16 episodes with there own individual stories that wern't done yet. that would make it more exciting. what im saying is what a true futurama fan would want to agree with

Aaa just wnated to say 3 things for starters : It's Lrrr, he's wife is Nd-nd and (animated)FUTURAMA is coming back!
I only hope it's not just for 13 episodes. Also, it better not drag-on with things like it did before, a more IN-YOUR-FACE atitude, so it can 'clear the waters' in some of the situations better.

Bes News ever. Fox were total idiots for cancelling this fine specimen of a show. But now it will be back with vengeance.

Check it out here, Al Gore and Bender!

The way things are going by the time Fox decides that they are going to produce new episodes we'll all be dead and buried, personally i would prefer to be turned into soylent green.

Good news is good news, Im just glad its coming back. This may well be my last post here for a long time. To haroldzoid and eIRINNSKe56 thanks for the chats and trivia quiz stuff in the other news bits comment section. Twas fun. If anyone posts under the name MunKy, email me so I can reclaim the name when Im back. Adios.

what about us here in the uk? will 'comedy central' affect sky's showing of the show? I take it sky would still show the new series.

Anyways, when the new series starts i worry about that - just now its great to hear futurama will be returning! yeah!

If all 13 of these new episodes are supposed to be on in 2008, no way are the episodes just gonna be by-then-previously-released DVD movies. If the first of four was not gonna be out til late 2007, no way in hell would the other three have all come out in 2008. Four brand-new straight-to-DVD movies would never come out that soon one after the other.

I suspect whatever ideas they may have had for the DVDs will INSTEAD be incorporated into episodes and that there will be no straight-to-DVD movies anymore; there will simply be a Volume 5 box set that comes out after the 13 episodes are over. That's just my expectation.

It seems to me that, Futurama should never have been on Fox, but directly on Comedy Central.

Ah, this is excellent news. With any luck the resurrected show will be a hit (and why wouldn't it be?) and we'll get another full season after this.

EZ-52, I'm sure the episodes will be shown by Sky. They're still being produced by Fox, after all.

bravo! may I just say this makes me proud of all the futurama staff.

I just hope the new season comes before the second coming of zombie jesus...

This is definitely amazing news!!! I am very very excited to finally see some new episodes! Why did it take so long for some peopole to realize how great of a show this is!? I don't want to get an inch and take a mile, but I hope there will be more than 13!

YAY! My 4 series are getting worn out. We need fresh blood!

Oh... this makes me the second happiest Crustacean alive. (dr. zoidberg being the first)

Well, it looks like the update on the bottom of that news item is flying right over everybody's heads.

Comedy Central has not announced any new "episodes" that will be produced, they'll just be hacking up the movies into multiple episodes.

I'm not thrilled about that...but, hey, HOPEFULLY new Futurama stuff on TV (even if it's the same as what's going to be released on the DVD movies) will be good for everybody in the long run.

The only way this could be seen as "good news" is that now there will be episodes on TV and if it gets good ratings, Comedy Central could order another season now that they will own the rights.

Because as LupinThe Third said, the update is going over everyone's head, these are the DVD's on TV, this will be like a Futurama Special, this is NOT a new season...well, I guess it depends how you look at it.

I knew it. Futurama could never stay away.
Hopfully these new episodes will spark off more intrest for the show and they will produce more after this.
Welcome back Futurama.

re: UK showings - if not Sky, Paramount Comedy will almost certainly pick it up, they're quite closely affiliated with Comedy Central.

Until I hear Matt Groening or David Cohen personally confirm anything I still won

They better get back the voice of amy wong and hermes, without their origaional voices it would be crap

yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes

to 92: i hope sky show the new series; as i am led to believe that paramount comedy is reducing its 3 channels to just one - if this is so then futurama could be given a really crappy time slot.

Hy.. here you go!

A Terrifying Message from Al Gore

So, if this news is true about Comedy Central just airing spliced up versions of the movies as episodes, do you think the DVD's will be packaged as just the movies, or as the movies and as volume 5? Also, I'm a bit confused as to how they are supposed to have the episodes in 2008 because there is no way they can have the other three movies out by 2008. I trust you guys at CGEF, but I'm gonna wait until we have word from Matt Groening or David X. Cohen about what is going on, because it doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

This is a great day for all of us! Looks like Futurama is coming back as movies and new episodes!

"...eventually be shown as 4 episodes each on Comedy Central. This makes the number of episodes 16, not 13."

Heu 13+4=16?? =/

Wait and see...

4 movies. Four episodes each.

4 * 4 = 16

A friend of mine has this to say about all this:

"Man, I'm begging anyone who does a Q&A session with John Dimaggio to ask him to drop in a "you think you're all that" quote aimed at Leela.

Would have me rolling in the aisles for DAYS to hear him do that.

"You think you're all that, Leela! But you aint!"

<sighs>"

Either way, this means more Futurama, which I think we can all agree is a great thing indeed. :)

Air it alongside South Park and it will be a great hit!

The update was added by -mArc- without any source quoted, I wouldn't trust it 100%

Sure it COULD be that they split the movies up, but they haven't even said how long the movies are: 60, 80 minutes. How does -mArc- know how long they are? He doesn't. So 16 episodes is a guess just like that whole "update".

Just wait and see, CC will make a big deal out of this next year and once the movies start making shape there will a lot to report.

2008?

Somebody freeze me and wake me up in 2008. I can't wait that long!

Sweet SWEET JUICY JUSTICE

If you go to google news and do a search for "futurama", it seams that this news is being reported everywhere - and all agree that it will be 13 episodes, and many suggest that this will be instead of the DVD movies...

Is this 100% Official and confirmed or just like the last time?

PS. FUTURAMA FKN RULES!!

re "13 episodes everywhere" by maome

The number 13 was taken from a clip with the Leela voice actor Katey Sagal where she also stated that she wasn't sure about the number. Could be more. One or two news writers (at Reuters) just put it down as "at least 13". Every other news site just copied.

And I didn't just guess the length of the movies ;) If I don't tell a source, that usually means that the source doesn't want to be publicly named. The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is whether it is 16 episodes being the movies or that and additional 16 episodes. Pretty sure though that it is the first and not the latter.

i hope that they can create the same heart wrenching stories as they had before. i cried like a baby at the end of "jurrassic bark" "time keeps on slippin'" and "the luck of the fry-rish"
im so looking forward to all the new "sappy stories"
also, i noticed during the last season they only went on about two missions. what was with that? i guess they never reached the full potential of an intergelacting delivery service.
BUT ITS ALL GOOD CAUSE IT'S ALL COMING BACK
and we can only assume it will be better than ever

Hazzar
AAArrrrrooooooooo
horrraaaay
Yessssssss

The greatest comedy is coming back!!

.) :) :]

When futurama gets back on the air it'll be basically ten years old.
late 2007 or 2008 is when it's likely to air.
I honestly can't believe its been cancelled for 3 years you know what i mean.

It'll be back just in time for the launch of "America's favourite Suicide booths".

after 13 episodes and people begging for more we could see a lot more
come on Comedy Central!
you rule

Hey #116, that's funny...just saw that episode and 2008 certainly yelled out to me too!

Marc, I don't mean this offensively, but I hope to Zombie Jesus that your source is wrong, and it is 16 additional episodes. And if you think about it, that makes more sense than showing spliced versions of movies. Why would Comedy Central say they were showing 13 new episodes, and release a press conference instead of saying they were going to be airing the DVD movies on tv first. But I guess we will have to wait and see.

Thanks you, Goober . ;)

does this mean that futurama will be leaving the adult swim line-up?

its true!!!!!!!!!!!

I think I understand the state of ecstatic enlightenment Buddhist always talk about.

Pinch me.

I'm worried about this and here's why:

Since the "new" episodes are essentially going to be the four movies, people will inherently think "I've already got the movies, why should I watch them on TV with commercials?"

Ratings will probably be worse than expected.

I love Futurama and would like nothing more than it to come back and be successful. I just hope CC is approaching this the right way.

not to question CGEF's sources, but everyone (including Sagal and DiMaggio) is talking about new episodes and later DVD releases, not movies...

Well, Sagal was the one who messed up the orignal news anyway. Wasn't she?

Braptastic,

I'm not being negative by believing they will have new episodes and new movies. That is being positive. And I am lightly disagreeing with Marc, I'm not calling him a dirty lier or anything. He even said himself he wasn't sure that it would be a spliced up version of the movie or not. Seriously, how old are you man? Earlier, in a posted comment that was deleted, you said I moaned too much, and asked if I was beaten as a child? I guess that was supposed to pose as a joke, but then you followed it up by saying someone who agreed with me must be having sex with me. Please spread your immaturity elsewhere or stop trying to get in fights with me. When we got our comments deleted, I didn't try to start a fight, but you are trying to start one right now, please stop.

Anyway, on a different topic, how long do people think it will take for David X. Cohen or Matt Groening to come out and do an interview about this. I really enjoy reading any interview by both of them, and I'm actually very surprised they haven't yet. Then again, it hasn't even been a full week since the news. I guess I am just too excited. I also wonder how much of the writing staff will come back, but we definately know a few will be there like Ken Keeler, David Cohen, and Matt Groening obviously.

OMG I really cannot belive this is true. Also the only reason they are starting off with just 13 new ones is because when new show are started up, they have a small season just to see if the show will catch back on. Family Guy's new season only had about 14 new ones to start off with. '
Anyways NEW FUTURAMA IS DA COOLESt.

If they haven't even written scripts for the 4 movies yet...and they are aware that each "movie" will be spliced into 4 episodes each....then aren't they going to essentially write with the mind set of new episodes anyway??? Regardless of that situation, I never thought I would be looking so foward to being 27 years old.

Can someone give me a good explanation as to WHY Comedy Central would break up the movies into "episodes," assuming that those rumors are true? It makes perfect sense to me that they would show the DVD movies on air at some point, but why wouldn't they be shown in their entirety? What precedent is there for this? Is a 2 hour slot REALLY that much for Comedy Central to give up to show something with such a dedicated fan base? Until I get a good explanation to that, I'm going to assume that, whether new episodes are produced in addition to the movies, that WHEN the DVD movies air, they will be shown as they were produced, and not hacked into some fake "episode" format.

Wow. That is seriously GOOD NEWS EVERYONE! Too bad it couldn't have happened sooner. All those wasted years without Futurama... Keep making them and I promise to buy every DVD!

However, please don't mess with ANYTHING. I would rather they not bring it back if they can't remain completely faithful to the series.

BTW, Eddie, why would you hope this would now "kill the Simpsons". They are so completely different. Both brilliant. But Futurama is so much more...

sweet zombie jesus! these are the really great news!
only bad thing is that we need more than 16 episodes.

I will believe it when I see it. How many reports has there been on this and have any of them got any facts in them at all. Its just wasting everybodies time and getting up the hopes of idiots with extremely short memories.

Yeeeeeeessssssssssss
yeaaaahhhh!!!!

two thousand
fucking
eight

To point out the obvious, that's not even NEXT year! Oh teh cry!

Anyone who thinks futurama should come back with new episodes is a total asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Real Simpsons fans love Futurama.

BOOOOOOOOOOOM SHAKALAKALAKALAKA ... yay now futurama can come back and gain even more fans and become the most popular animated series ...

Now its time to celebrate P A R T Y! Cmon everybody why wont shake that bump!! XD
(not sure if thats the song but meh ... anothology of interst, II)

HELL YEAH MAN THIS IS MY FAVORITE SHOW IN THE WHOLE DAMN WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What kind of advanced warning will be given for these new shows so that I may know when to set my video cassette recorder?

This is great news everyone! Oh, my, yes! I hope Futurama on Comedy Central has the same production values as it originally had. To me, Futurama blows away any cartoon show out there in looks, and definetely in substance and wit!! To me, what Futurama had that the other's didn't so much, was characters you could care about!

To quote Dr. Z: "I don't know, but it's infectious!!"

Good news everyone!

Hurray!

oglle is reporting that a full season compliment of 22 episodes{mayble split in half} over an extended season is in the works. Let's keep our fingers crossed!

I jst read the same thing. 22 episodes are going to be sweet!!!!!!!!

Elchupanebray,

I waited a while because I thought the mods at this site were gonna delete your comment, but apparently not. But this fight is silly. It's completely off topic, and stupid. You criticize me as being immature by calling you immature, when you just called me doctor jizz. Seriously dude, why not just post as braptastic, instead of using Elchupanebray as your other name to make it seem like you have a lot of supporters. And seriously, children being beaten by abusive parents is a serious issue, not something for you to joke about. If you really want to fight then lets do it in the chat or something, not clogging up the comments section.

Mods please delete this, my previous comment, and the ones by Braptastic and Elchupanebray.

P.S. If the 22 episode order thing is true, woot.

YO YO YO
i hav a question for all ye other fans.
if fry is "good at video games and bad at everything else" as indicated in ANTHOLOGY OF INTEREST 2, why then in SPACE PILOT 3000 does he "stink" at "monkey fracas jr."?
some one please come up with an answer for me. and dont say "he's gotten better" because fry says himself he spent all nineth grade playing video games except the day his eyeballs started to bleed. so he would have been good before he played "monkey fracas jr." on new years eve 1999

@ #149:
That's what Fry THINKS, not a fact. He thinks he's good at video games, when in fact, he's average.

If I may ask, where is this 22 episode rumor coming from? Who or what is 'oglle' #146?

Braptastic,

Okay I believe you, and can we both agree to stop this childish fighting? As the wise Bob Barker says in The Lesser of Two Evils, "Let's put an end to this pathetic hoedown." Sorry, I confused you as elchupanebray, and started this whole thing.

Anyway, yeah, I spent a long time last night searching oglle and futurama on google, but I couldn't come up with this new 22 episode rumor If Barry or Mary sees this, could the please elabrate or put a link to where they found it. Thanks.

What great news!! ...Huzzah!

22 episodes are what a normal sitcom{ie two and a half men}produce every year. This would make sense.... nice...

So, when these 16 episodes come to DVD... Are they going to be movies or boxed sets of episodes?

Thank you CC for believing in Futurama, best news of the year 2006!!! Finally we'll get to know what happens after the opera.

A 22 episode order confirms to me that they are serious about making a big time renewal after supposed death, just like family guy.

eIRINNSKe56-

who cares? I'm great at some video games, stink at others. I can go through level after level of Zaxxon without "dying" once (once played for about 30 hours straight), beat every Id game I've tried, do great at most racing or dogfighting games (at least, the simulator types where the driving or flying is fairly realistic) stink at others.

Maybe Fry just has a problem with that one particular game?

More importantly: who the heck cares? Futurama is coming back, that's the important thing!

Fake-SimpsonsLover -

If you hate Futurama, why do you visit this site? Go back to the AOL chatrooms or troll MySpace for little boys like you usually do.

It appears futurama will be back for at least twenty-two to twenty-four more episodes. I can't wait.

22 more episodes of this most stupid cartoon makes no sense. Rock on homer&company

simpsonslover- what the fuck are you talking aboot. please just leave and dont come back

Anyone has a link or a source about the 22 episodes ? That would be good news.

I concur, need a link.

Matt Groening would have to slap me with a episode renewal contract for me to believe anything now.

God i fuckin new they would return! I never lost hope, Futurama 4tw!!!! ;D

Hope the new episodes don't suck.

if they make 13 episodes that will boost the overall number to 85 if they do 16 it'll be 88.
if it returns they've got to gun for 100 episodes.

:) .) -:]

If it returns, they've got to gun for &#8734; episodes! And it IS returning. PERIOD

And BTW, next month(w8 it's 30...), 'THIS' month, atleast the VO staff is starting work. Witch means 1.They allready got some scripts and co. 'done'. 2.The epsiodes will be long done before they air, maybe they decide to make more allready, or maybe there's a BIG surprise! :)

VO is starting work THIS MONTH that is cool.
but where did you aquire this great info

Billy West(Zoidberg, Fry, etc.'s VO,for who dosen't know) said that VO work is starting in mid-late July/August, some time ago, but confirmd recently. Ther's no point in wasting time. :)

Thery're not telling us alot, so be prepaird to be surprised about anything.

dang cant wait was almost starting to like family guy but not as much as futurama

22 episodes? HORRRAAYYY.
im not getting to excited till everything is *definate*

to eIRINNSKe56: It was new years eve right? He was mabey rubbish at the game cause he was a bit drunk with new year booze? or to buzy talking to the guy - "space - it seems to go on and on forever" and not giving the game his full attention.

TO simpsonslover: Get a life.

I get CC. Awesome!!!!

And I'm also glad the CGEF team now updates the episode times/list.

APPARENTLY!!!!

If you live in Oz, Big Brother has apparently been axed (that's another story) and the eviction that will take place on Sunday will be replaced by Simpsons and a documentary of Futurama coming back.

Come again Matthew?...

In the mean time, who wants some refreshing Fry, Zoidberg, Hubert, Zapp, Ren & Stimpy & misc VOs from the dude himself? here's the link



Enjoy joy joy!

Damn censorship!

Fookin great yeah! eIRINNSKe56 since I'll get no chance to talk on msn with you cuz of time difference, I'm having a good time here in Navy training. I'll probably send you an E-mail too. Futurama rules!

OK, I hope it work now.

If this doesn't work, whatever! It's not very important, but anyway it will probably get around.

holding, stroking, loving machine also spankin
hurray! futurama

a 5th season yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think simpsonslover's problem with Futurama is that Flanders is not one of the characters.

Fry : It's a 6th season :)

Me. Want. News. About. 22 episodes !

Another person from Oz here. I totally missed out on the futurama documentary. Did anyone here watch it? Was it any good? Anyone happen to record it?

More likely, rather than light-in-the-loafers-yet-closted Flanders, he likes Smithers, an out-and-proud flamer.

Yes. Does anyone taped that report ? If yes, can someone host it in any way ?

"simpsonslover-hater"... I don't usualy say this but LOL!

Funny-funny stuff!!!

Anyway back to some serious sh*t, the Futurama documentary, I think it wasn't broadcasted, they aired something else, but they have it, and will probably air it soon enought.
When they do, can someone PLEASE record it? And UL it somewhere?

This is gay that Comedy Central gets futurama. It was Adult swim that got futurama high enough ratings to get new episodes.

"This is gay that Comedy Central gets futurama. It was Adult swim that got futurama high enough ratings to get new episodes. "

WHO CARES!?!?!?!

NOOOO!!! I Dont get Comedy Central! Im upset now that I wont be able to see the new episodes. Why can't Fox air them? Oh well, at least Futurama might be back (I hope)

Best news I've heard all year.

avian, Channel Ten didn't end up showing it. Instead they kept Big Brother on TV. The rumour was that they were going to axe the show and throw on the Futurama documentary on. But it didn't end up happening.

I am guessing soon that Channel Ten will play it.

Interesting that comedy central's media page still doesn't say anything about it.
:(
I hope we haven't been duped again.

#183 Sk8PrO : it will technically be the fifth season because they only had four production seasons, it was Fox who broke it down into Five.

It'll be best if they'd do two production seasons and air them as one so then we will finally have a 1 on 1 ratio of the production/airing seasons and end this foolish story once and for all.

Get on with it alrady! I WANT MY FUTURAMA!!!

For that mp3 I kept talking about, here :

Plan A - link : images . slashdot . org / articles / 06 / 06 / 29 / billy_west . mp3

Cut the spaces and paste in browser.

Plan B - go to slashdot . com (again cut the spaces); type "Billy West" in the search filed, press the search button; the first article should be something like "Ask Futurama Star Billy West About...?", click it; in the article look for "MP3 voice montage" link text, click it, download it, listen to it.

If it's any help to you : Enjoy joy joy!!!

If you this doesn't work that, that means either you/me are an idiot and/or CGEF posting system sucks.

You are all a bunch of pathetic trolls! there was a reason why fox cancelled this show in the 1st place-no one f..king watched! Simpsons on fox rules!!!!! ... !!!!!!!!!!

Well simpsonslover, apparently people do watch it, why the hell else would it be getting better and better ratings recently? Why else would there be news of it returning?
I used to love The Simpsons too, but now the show has gotten SO stale, there have even been occasions when they used jokes from old episodes (and I don't mean the running jokes, like Homer strangling Bart).
Anyway, why on Earth are you even here? Do you honestly think you're proving anything by trolling on a site about a show that you don't like? Well yes, you are; you're proving you're a loser with way too much damn time on your hands. If you don't want to see this news, then don't come to this site. Simple as that.
simpsonslover, whether or not you want to believe it, someone, somewhere, likes something that you loathe. HOLY SH*T! No way! That's blasphemy! </sarcasm>

#194 : Thanks for the clarification :)

Futurama is back w00t!! too bad it will be awhile before its on comedy central

good news everyone.

i can't wait.

simpsonslover-who-loves-smithers,

If we're the trolls, why are you the one who comes here essentially saying "futurama is teh suxx0rs" - aren't there Simpsons fan sites (or more specifically Smithers fan sites) that you can be discussing The Simpsons on, where you would not even have to think about or be aware of Futurama?

Get a life. As far as the rest of us, we're welcoming Futurama back with open arms. :)

YAY ... atleast 13 new eps!!!
Oh and simsonslover this is for you ...
Your just scared that futurama will take over as the greatest cartoon series ever ( not like is already is :D)...

AND ANYONE WHO THINKS THAT SIMPSONS SHOULD STILL BE PRODUCTION IS A TOTAL FUKTARD U SHOULD BE LINED UP AND SHOT!!!
SO FUK OFF SIMPSONS LOVER UR DAD N GRANDPA WANT TO USE UR ASS!!!

ROCK ON FRY & COMPANY!!! FUTURAMA RULZ!!!

Simpsons aren't as good as they used to be, but what can you expect after a decade and a half.

BRING ON THE FUTURE OF FUTURAMA.

P.S I think the simpsons movie should mark the end of the simpsons.

thankyou :)

Simpsons passed its use-by date sometime around season 10, even the show's voice actors have admitted the slide. Hopefully Futurama will stay fresh longer given the SF setting, but some plot lines are already a little stretched.
e.g. how much further can they drag out the Fry-Leela love thing?

(search 'Futurama' and 'Simpsons')

don't feed the troll, people...

sorry forgot the no-links policy. That search reference is for the 'jumptheshark' website

I think that in the first episode of the new ones, there will be something that will torn apart the Fry-Leela thingy, so it can last for more episodes.

oh, and bring an Anthology of Interests at the end of this season, I missed them :)

*speechless*

bowlingforillidan I'm with you mon!

Especially on that "Fry-Leela love thing"...
Seriously it drag for too freaking long, thay made Leela look like a heratless "I have NO ideea of what true LOVE is" bitch(not that sometimes she just IS anyway). Need I say more? :)

Anyway Futurama ROCK THE F@CK ON!!!
Into a better future! With ZERO bullsh*t this time.

"#207 by Sk8PrO

I think that in the first episode of the new ones, there will be something that will torn apart the Fry-Leela thingy, so it can last for more episodes."

How about I just tore your head of? Seriously you and all alike disgust me. And 'tore' wath?There's(almost) nothing to begin with, pervert. :)

Or maybe you ment tore but put the 'stress' on Leela's side now, I that case sorry, my apologies.
(I have a story about that, maybe I'll post it)
If not for other reasons that at least for the fact that it's getting sickenig and BORING!

Ahhhhhhhh! i am happy

Why don't all you stupid,moronic,idiots,get a life! Just face the facts,simpsons rule! futurama sucks!

#210 : I think I didn,t write properly what i wanted to tell, English isn't my native language :)

I mean that there's got to be something that will separate the relations between Leela and Fry, so it can last longer.

Because IMO there is far more potentially good jokes or plot that Fry can do to conquer even more Leela's love.

Probably #213, but I would like to see them not do that, its too predicatable if they did do that if you understand what i mean.

Wait I'm confused now. Are we getting new episodes of futurama AND the movies, OR are we just getting the movies and then the movies will be split up into episodes (ala FG), OR are we not getting the movies anymore because they've been turned into 16 episodes instead of the movie format???

#215 - we don't know... all reports suggest that they will be normal episodes, and the movies have been put on hold - however many of us still think that the reporters got it confused and we will be getting 16 episodes, which will then be released as 4 movies.

I wouldn't be suprised if in the new episodes Fry and Leela have started dating, but probably 2 or 3 episodes in they will break-up and we will go back to how the situation was in the early episodes.

Any news/ideas on when it will be aired in England? I am sooo excited that I'm on the verge of kissing my boss at work and he's an ass.
yahoooo!

"If we hit this bulls eye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards... Checkmate."

ALL RIGHT!! i've been waiting like three years to hear this news

#214 I DO understand you bro, read my earlier post for more detail.
I'd realy appreciate if they'd 180 degree turn the plot this time(a look from Leela's side now, maybe?), spice sh*t up, otherwise I don't know how to tell you 4 years is a absurdly long for ANY realationship to form, espeacilly when you look at how it kicked in back in Space Pilot 3000 & co.

It's just that at that side of the story, things are getting way to frustrating and complicted for no other apparent reason than CHEAP DRAMA + STUPID CONTINUITY = CRAP.

Remember that time should continue between episodes, 72 of them for 3-4 years is very little, and barely covers basic stuff, because most of the time is reserved for humor.

Huzzah! FUTURAMA!!!

What ever is on that show, it the only thing I've ever wanted. CC is a shark, sharks don't look back, because they don't have necks!

why am i not getting messages 202-220 on my screen?

#219 : now I see your point, and I thnik that you are right. And seeing it on the Leela side would be great, but not too much, since IMO Fry as greater character developpement.

Anyway, we'll se.

oh and don't forget, AOI 3 for the last episode :) And this time put a question from Zoidberg :)

#222 : Thanks, atleast I found someone who shares similar ideas. It's not that I don't think Fry's character development isn't great, it's greatest, Fry is the best, but I already know enought(for the moment) about him. Both Bender and Leela lack very good char development, especially Leela concering the Fry-Leela thing, the way they presented her, we don't know much, aside that she's a bossy meat creature. :) So hopefuly they'll shed some new light on these characters, cause I'm thinking I might've got the wrong picture.

And let's not forget the other characters, I want to see something about Hermes and his background, as well as about him and LaBarbarra.

And in one of the AOI stories I'd like to see something concerning Amy & Kif's "future".
Also some more Bender & Fry adventures.

And how you said it... we'll see :)

BTW, I did like how you said "last episode" :p, no nut seriously, the series is FULLY coming back. Not just for the 13-22 episodes/movies/ep+movies.

So in other words you said it like it'll end(again) before it even (re)started.

No more stupid cancelations this time. It's here to stay... right?

Hey let's see how long can this thread go, maybe we'll atract atention or atleast we'll end up locking-up the server :p , atleast until we get anoter one with FABOLOUS CRABULOUS news!!!

This is the best news in a long time. When the news aired last night about the new shows, my phone started ringing. All my friends are really excited and can hardly wait. We all have been waiting for this great news. We hope the show will go on for years and years. Love that Bender!!

Yeah it is, unless they(Matt & co.) screw it up.

"When the news aired last night about the new shows" could you, or anyone who seend that, tell me exactly what they say? I don't catch those promos, in fact I don't catch the hole damn channel at all. :)

"We hope the show will go on for years and years"
For years? For at long as it's possible... which can mean anything from nothing to forever. Let's hope it's forever! :p

"Love that Bender!!"
Yeah, well who doesn't? He's the only character that you simply can't hate! Not like Zapp or Cubert or Leela or other twitchy ones, who just piss you of sometimes.

Also, about this news thread, I was dead sure that the new "Billy West's Interview at Slashdot", would kick in today or soon enought. Now let's support that untill the next GREAT NEWS! Maybe something from Matt this time, with fresh new aterial. :)

This is the best news eva.

"bite my shiny metal ##s" - who gives a brain slug what characters get developed, as long as it's as funny as all the other episodes. just celebrate that someone was finally smart enough to put futurama back on!

I'm from Australia and yeh Futurama didn't take off as such but i am so thrilled to hear this news. Thank God, Fox are gay anyway

two words........hellz yea

#228 : If Futurama can develop even better humour, characters developpement, emotions and satire than the first 4 seasons, it will be even better that just being more "funny".

Futurama returns! I have a reason to live again!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO! cant wait! so awesome! hey you know on the DVD comentaries how sometimes david or someone will read an email they got, or read a post from fans, where are they getting this from? does futurama have an official site that they look through or something?

They have mentioned this site on the commentaries. i cant remember which episode. When I go on leave I'll find out.

And David mentionned his email in Roswell that ends Well commentaries if I am not mistaken.

Wahoo! Futurama is back! Yahoo!

This is incredible news! I'm so happy to be able to see the Planet Express crew again. This show is the funniest thing on TV and it deserves a second, third, and even a fourth chance if need be! Keep them coming!

Now how about that show called "MST3K"?.... ;-P

Guy i know its going to be more then 13 episodes think of family guy that came back with way more episodes look forword to it =).

O YOUR GOD!! YES!!

GREAT this is very good news I bought all the episodes on DVD hopefully is advertised more in Australia if it does come out because I did not know of Futurama until a couple of years after it started.
Oh and one final comment... BURP

futurama never got as funny as the simpsons season 4 and five. and there were already some really bad eps starting to show up in the fourth season(bend her). that isn't to say that there weren't unfunny eps in the earlier season but come on. that plot is just retarded. the simpsons was good for about 10 years and i don't think any other show has came close to matching that. i seriously doubt that futurama could pull it off. if they don't have all the same writers that they had on vol. 4 then the show will probably suck. most of you really need to learn basic grammer as well.

I don't think someone's going to take lessons on grammar from someone who can't even spell 'grammar', doesn't put capitals on words after a period, doesn't put two spaces after a period, and is too lazy to type "episodes" out in full.
As for how funny the show is, it comes down to opinion. Personally I used to prefer The Simpsons but now I find Futurama MUCH better, especially considering just how terrible the new episodes of The Simpsons have been. Plus I think The Simpsons has way too many characters with the same basic traits (i.e. fat, stupid, and/or drunk; any combination of those 3, really).

I take back the gripe about the two-spaces-after-a-period thing; I think that has something to do with CGEF's posting system.

Sweet llamas in the Bahamas!
I'm re-watching my Futurama DVD collection with the joy of knowing there's more to come.

13 new episodes is a much better idea than a daring, daylight robbery of Fort Knox on elephant-back. Thank God for Comedy Central!

I just spat my slurp all over my monitor! Hopefully nothing will change and all the characters re back.

Zapp and Bender are comedy gold!

I'm confused by this entry. Does this mean that there are only four new episodes or sixteen?

i better get cc cuz cc is of the chain dogg dats my boy whats up homeys im hot joe
was
here .

AHHHHH!
I'm so happy.
I love this show and now it is coming back
WOOT!!!!
or...
NEAT! *click*

Watching Futurama is a great joy. I only have a few more years to live and I don't want to spend them dead.

Finaly, my prayers have been answered!!!

If a new season comes out that would be really awesome. But I guess we'll have to just wait and see if this will really happen. When the series ends eventually again, will they be able to top The Devil Hand's are Idle Playthings?

Everyone who likes this show is a pathetic loser. I,for one, will not watch one minute of any of the new 22 episodes.

simpsonslover...I'm 16, I have a job, I've saved over $5000 and I have a beatiful girlfriend; guess what else? I watch Futurama and so do most of my friends and my girlfriend.

simpsonslover[dot]justgotowned[dot]com

Replace the "[dot]"s with "."s.

I wish Fox could have gotten the new episodes. Then they could bring back Animation Domination... I say, they should get rid of that other show, War at Home.

hey simpsonslover!! if you hate futurama so much how come you know about the new episodes? you could only have known that if you frequent futurama web sites. think about it(or dont its your choise ya smeghead)

If the show does come back (which I have my doubts), I hope the writers use this opportunity to clean up their mess and do the right thing, finally bringing back Seymour from the "Jurassic Bark" episode. After all, for all I know his dolemited body still lies dormant at the 'lava basement', waiting to be relived again!

...I know, I know, I heard the "dead should remain dead, in real life people (or dogs) don't come back..." argument before, but hey people, this is not reality, it's a friggin' SF cartoon show, and Seymour deserves a little happiness after SUFFERING for TWELVE LONG LONELY YEARS waiting for that stupid Fry! If the writers don't want to add the dog as a new character to the show (although I think it *would* be nice to have another pet to interact with Nibbler), just bring him back at the last 30 seconds of the last programmed episode from season 6 or 'production season 5' or whatever. C'mon guys, it's not that hard! Give Seymour a chance! You'll still have to explain how he managed to get fossilized in dolemite, though... Hey, I get it! He was hit by a dolemite meteorite a couple seconds after the end of the "Jurassic Bark" episode...

<3 futurama
=)

simpsonslover:
"I,for one, will not watch one minute of any of the new 22 episodes."

If only we could be certain of that somehow. Perhaps, death by sonic diarrhea?

Get over it! FUTURAMA is the best show and I hope Comedy Central makes heaps of money to tease FOX, I'l be laughing from here in Australia

I'll never understand trolls. If you don't like the show then why keep posting on a fansite?

Maybe trolling is the sincerest form of flattery...

uh.. very nice :)

can somebody remember the "subtitle" at the intro at the last episode?

"see you on some other channel"

Cheers Josef

HOLY SACRED COW FROM EAST MOSCOW!! i was looking aimlessly and thE nY pRESS ONLinE says definitly fer sure 2008!!...now if i cold only live that long...

Anyone know where you can still get the sqishy brain slugs or the HGB's ???

hold on a mo, does this mean fry and leela are going to not get together again, and then nearly get together and make everyone cry again (or is that just me)? nah, only kidding, great news. And is leela deaf or what? man, season 4 ended in the most orgasmically brilliant way, they're going to have to do it all again.

Seriously, though, this should be fun. I'm going to genetically engineer albino gorillas to shout the good news from the rooftops.

Care from some shampagan?
-Zap Branningen

Now this is really good news just can't believe it:0, gonna celebrate this with a beer and no shampagan:P w00t just a coincedence I found this gonna call my friend.

Wooooo ... oooooooooo

And, I also must add, about time and thank goodness :) Love this show!

The first movie is called "Bender

Benders Big Score on IMDB

omg this is GREAT news

#2 Barry is right on. Adult Swim has brought 2 series back from the brink...Family Guy, and now Futurama. They deserve a ton of credit. I can't believe how popular that time on Cartoon Network has become.

am I dreaming?
It is about time that the show is being broght back... it should have never been cancled in the fist place!

Futurama rules!!!

Great work!
|

yes! there is a god

i died a little the day they cancled it ;_; ... but now i can live agen ^^

It's back, Yes! Make sure when it airs we let Comedy Central now it. It's up to us to make show this show STAYS ON THE AIR!!!!! Now in do beleive in a god

Waiting till 2008 to see new episodes is going to be a real drag, but i'm glad that atleast we'll know when they're coming, futurama is, was, and always will be, the best show ever. Peace out, MasterG.

yeh baby yeh i want more

simpsonlover if you hate futurama then why are you on the official futurama website. is it because your life is so misrebal that you find enjoyment by going on websites and dissing others. oh and simpsons suck because they just repeat themselves.

how can you not repeat yourself after so many years? the simpsons are great, futurama is great...i just can't wait.

hey that rhymes.

I'm confused - mArc reports that Reuters got it wrong, but wikipedia and every other source I've found still reports 13 new episodes from Comedy Central. Is this confirmed/denied or should I still be wondering?

has this been confirmed cos i dont want to get my hopes up!

bloody awsome.

I hope it is the same voices ahhhhhh!!! if it izn't it'll suc ballz

:[ vampires rock
nd cradle of filth's new album "thornography" rocks :[

Thank you god. I don't think I could have gone any longer without seeing anew episode.

Its like waiting for Christmas! I cant wait for Futurama to come back. It's definitly the best show in the universe. I didnt really get into the show untill it was cancelled. I'm now a #1 fan. Cant wait.

Oh my GOD!!!!!!! This is my fav show!!!!! WHEN WHEN WHEN is this going to happen?!?!?!??!? Is it really true??!? Please let it BE!!!!!!!!

<h1>im all like finally!!! XD</h1>
<h2>comedy central kicks ass!!!</h2>
wait.... so r there like ganna b different
characters?

Excuse me while I scream with joy

AAAAAA ... !!!!!!!!!!

This is the greatest news EVER!! I am so excited I can't sit still! Futurama is the best show ever and should never have been cancelled. I can't wait until 2008 - I am completely beside myself literally crying tears of happiness. I really hope FOX regrets ever cancelling this wonderful show.

futurama takes place in the futur (i gess)

You know I bought the series in it's entirety and watch it religiously, probably because every time I watch it I notice something new. In fact I watch it on my DVD in the car when I'm stuck in stop and go for an hour. Seriously folks, if you listen to the commentary and I'm sure you have, one gets further into the realm of what was put into this series, simply astounding how much untapped comedy is here. I was worried that CC was picking up the series in stead of FOX, ya see without that prime time money, Sunday between 7:30 and 9 pm on Fox they won't receive the same funding. If they don't receive the same funding then they might not be able to get the same directors, voice overs or be able to afford the costs of the actual voices of the guest like Al Gore (himself) or Nichelle Nichols (Star Treks Uhura)or God forbid the special effects. See, when some show come back you notice that not so much time was spent on the 3D or sound and one really begins to notice the difference. Plus if Matt Groening and David X. Cohen aren't so available and hand the project over to some up and coming who might botch the job or not take so many risks. I know I'm a spoil sport but I hope this move doesn't ruin a perfect thing, I simply wish it wasn't cancelled before and I recall Matt saying that Futurama was everything that the Simpsons wasn't. I hope he still feels the same way. I'm so stoked and I'll probably get the extra extendend basic that I didn't want because it offered me nothing worth the extra 40$ a month. It will be worth it now.

13 episodes. 4 movies.

therefore 16 episodes?

uuuhm... 16?

13 + 4 = 16?

O RLY???


17 FTW!

Damn, thats really a reason to celebrate!
I'm form Germany and our translation sucks man.
Hope you can pre-order this DVD Movies.
Can't wait till 2009-10.
Stupid Europe...

Lol. Nice to see somebody up there can add.. but then, I believe its 4 "movies" which will be pieced up into 4 episodes each for broadcast on CC. (making a total of sixteen episodes.)

But I agree, this is a great reason to celebrate.. although, I fail to see why they are giving it to CC and not FOX.. or even CN's Adult Swim where it currently makes its home. I hope the quality is equal or better than the fantastic episodes of the past...

*crosses fingers for the same VA's*

dude i am such a futurama lover can someone tell me when comedy central will air these new episodes and movies because its jan3 and i havent heard or seen anything yet someone tell me or i will be pissed

2008, I believe. Until then, you can watch and rewatch all the old episodes. Hopefully some episodes leak on the internet though, much like the Family Guy movie. GET RIPPED!!!!

3-17 07,

Is any one still out there?

I wish I could be frozen until the year 2008! I just started watching Futurama this year, and I was instantly hooked! What a great show!

I even stay up to watch Futurama from 2am-3am every weekday night that its on adult swim. (I always miss the earlier shows)

Please, make 1000's of Futurama episodes.

OH MY GOD :D

I can truthfully say i've seen every single last aired episode atleast 3times each up to 10 times on some of them. I used to watch it every airing on fox, and i watch it every night on Adult Swim when my satilite abides my wishes.

Its such smart comedy, and nobody in my small school really picks up on the subtleties. I am however bitter that it didn't go to Adult Swim(although that is kinda a shitty time frame for it to be in) or even FOX.

I can't wait for 2008 for this to come out, in the mean time i think i'll buy all the dvd box sets, the one i have got ruined by my friend's little brother...still waiting for him to pay me back >.>

There is a God..
