Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

Cartoon Network Sundays Change

From May 25th onwards, Futurama will be removed from the Sunday 11PM time slot in Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block when Home Movies takes its spot. However, Futurama will continue to air Mondays through Thursdays at 11PM.
Starting this Sunday, Family Guy will follow up Futurama at 11:30PM but Cartoon Network won't be showing the first season (1ACX) for the time being. Luckily, the Family Guy Season 1 & 2 DVD combi set just came out today in the USA.

question: is the programming for cartoon network the same everywhere? Here in Belgium we get Cartoon Network, but it is broadcasted from Holland, everything is in Dutch and stuff... Is the Adult Swim thingie just something for the USA?

This only applies to the American Cartoon Network. As far as I know, none of the European subsidaries have Futurama rights.

Home Movies? You mean, the cartoon that looks like it was created with MSPaint? Blah!

I went to Adult Swim's website and it says in the schedule that Futurama will be on May 25. Also, Home Movies probably was created with MSPaint but it is one of the limited few shows on Adult Swim that are actaully good (Futurama is the best show, no duh!)

Family Guy is another show that Fox killed off early. It was reaching its peak until Fox pull the plug and replace it with garbage. Although it may look like a dirty verison of The Simpsons (Compare to classic shows of the Simpsons) it still was more entertaining than King of the Hill. Man, I wish Bobby Hill would die! That show would be a lot better off without that jackass. Anyways, Futurama should be treated with respect, not be jack around to put another show in its place.

k first of all all these shows that are replacing family guy and futurama suck ass

The Pitts- cmon how longs this gonna last this is the gayest thing on television since queer as folk lol

Oliver Bean- its a rip off of malcom and the wonder years, this show rips both those shows off, and i saw it for the first time the other day and it falls flat on its face on both humor and originality

fox sadly thought those two shows were a better decision . . .wait til the ratings these two shows will be off the air within a year or two.

oh and second king of the hill sux ive hardly ever laughed at that show, mike judges movie office space was good, but king of the hill is flat out boring!

and third cartoon network is starting to make mistakes with futurama, kinda like fox

Wow, fox really tweaked you guys out huh? Cartoon Network cuts Futurama off for one day a week and you guys act like its off the air already.

CN's schedule hasn't updated yet, but it was all on the May schedule promo on Sunday night. Which can be found at http://www.adultswimunleashed.com .

I think there is such a thing as "over exposure". You don't want CN to play the episodes to death and have people get bored with it.

The only reason they are taking Futurama off of Sunday nights is because Home Movies is going to air new episodes - its fourth season. We still get Futurama 4 days a week.

I think Home Movies might be funnier than Futurama. What the hell did I just say? Oh boy, I am going to regret this later...

JabstaMcnasty and Max (sounds like a new UPN show!) are right; chill out. I'm just glad "Futurama" has a new home of sorts on CN (...and I STILL don't get it where I live!). I'm happy "Home Movies" is being allowed to do its thing as well; there was a small backlash when "Futurama" edged some shows off the schedule temporarily.

I've heard--but can't find confirmation--that "The Pitts" has already been canned. Ratings have been...well, you know.

If you cannot read the two security words, refresh the page to get a new image. i think all of cartoon networks shows should go off the air except edd ed n eddy im 15 but one day when i get out of high school and college i'll shut it down with some supporters and i'll replace it with wrestling bikini contests and people singing the auburn fight song WAR DAMN EAGLE!
