Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

Answer or be destroyed!!

Hey guys, here's a nice treat for you: An interview I conducted recently with a bona fide Futurama writer.
Eric Rogers is a long time writer for the show as well as writing many tales for the Futurama and Simpsons comics.

Hear his out loud brain thoughts here!

NO TALK ABOUT ILLEGAL DOWNLOADS!

Thank you!
Very good informations about what is up to come.. Episode 10.. I am really looking forward to that one.. Cause his favourite episode is the same as mine.. "I will wait for you" was just heartbreaking..
As a foreigneer i am not that used to some informal speach.. so what does "turning it to a Ross-and-Rachel thing. " mean?

No Eric Kaplan? That's a bummer. He's one of the best writers.

Good thing there are tons of other talented writers on the show.

Baby bender looked so innocent. It was sad when Hermes felt sorry for him.

"It makes no sense to suddenly write jokes for the sake of shocking people... And I think our fans would revolt in a hot minute if we did"

Umm.. that's exactly what they've been doing lol

ThatGuy, he's referring to the sitcom "Friends" where it focused on two of the main characters falling in/out/in love at the expense of being funny.

That was a great interview. Very good questions, and very straight answers. Good job everybody.

I only caught a split-second look at the writing credits last night. Did Eric Rogers write this one? Or was it Eric Horsted?

That was Eric Horsted. Too many Erics on the show now!

Aha...so that's why Eric Kaplan was given the boot!

(Just kidding. I know he's busy being a big successful Big Bang producer. I am happy for him.)

Looking forward to Eric Rogers' episode. Season 6 is really coming together.

The Professor & Zoidberg episode sounds like it could be really interesting... :)

Indeed! too many Eric's. Named lunches have been confused before!

Eric Kaplan is one majorly busy guy. Big Bang is just the beginning of what he's up to. Adult Swim stuff coming late this year plus recently got a FOX pilot commissioned...
Absolute gent too.
