Can't get enough Futurama
In Color

Give Spike your Thoughts

You might have heard of former TNN changing its name to SpikeTV and heavily targeting the male demographic. Among that, there will be an animation block (featuring Ren & Stimpy, for one). Thing is, Spike doesn't know what to put on and thusly ask you to recommend shows you want to see there. Now, what animated show for real sexlexic men would come to mind, hu?
Cartoon Network only has a non-exclusive rerun deal with FOX, so technically, we could hope for Futurama to go on both. Can't hurt to tell them what you want.

i dont know...futurama might get "over shown" and i dont think anyone new to futurama will tune in to spike tv because of cartoon networks ads

I don't think it would be overshown there. The thing is, not everyone can watch TV at 11PM. An alternative slot could be nice. Also, the more money is made with Futurama, the longer it will stay around in some way.

Definately. I'm 12, and I know a hundred kids (no exaturations) who aren't allowed to watch shows that late, and these are just kids in my classes in a redneck Babtist dominated town!

P.S.-No offense Babtists/Rednecks.

P.P.S.-Scratch that. Take offense idiots.

Yay! mArc took my idea!

Just a note, TNN's animation block will be on Thursday night at 10, Friday night at 11, and Sunday night at 8. All times e/p. Otherwise daytime shows include reruns of Star Trek and Blind Date.

Personally, I like to see the WWE get back the rights to use the old "WWF" scratch logo before Futurama is consider into the Spike TV line-up. But I know that is NEVER going to happen thanks to the World Wildlife Fund lawsuit.

Anyways Futurama should just stay at Cartoon Network and be put on a earlier timeslot despite of the "Adult Swim" line-up. Besides the new Spike TV logo looks too "sissy" or "wimpy" like the current WWE logo.

World Wrestling? Who cares. It's as fixed as Ultimate Robot Fighting. What the heck does it matter if the F has another line on it to make it an E?!

Regarding TNN/SpikeTV, what is with the black info bar on the bottom of the screen? It's so fucking annoying. Futurama needs a better home than that.

Plus, the black info bar does not give you any useful info, just the title of the show or movie (I would understand if TNN/SpikeTV was a sports news network and gives out scores).
JamesDeanMay 27th 2003, 00:00
Yeah, that is annoying actually... but the people who like Futurama will put up with it, and the people who are just watching it for the first time will definitely remember the name of the show.

First of all, the wrestling logo has only two "W" and there is no "E".I sometimes, when fliping channels, watch parts of the Monday show but it so awful now I don't stick around to watch lt like I did back a few years ago when it was on the USA network. Sorry for this subject matter, but the damn logo bugged me too much to keep quiet.

Futurama showed with black bars would annoy the hell out of me. Maybe the Spike TV would change that but I doubt it. Futurama should just stay at Cartoon Network and be shown at a earlier time. Come on, Futurama isn't that dirty compare to all the Pokemon and Hamtro nonsense they show.

if enough people demand futurma then maybe they will pick it up and there might be a sixth season

I doubt that TNN would pick up Futurama, or that CN would let them. This new animation block TNN is starting is supposed to *compete* with Adult Swim. I don't see CN giving away one of their biggest shows to the competition.
JamesDeanMay 27th 2003, 00:00
CN does not own futurama. it is not theirs to sell or ... not sell
SRMMay 30th 2003, 00:00
With TNN switching to Spike they have money to spend, and may be looking for the defining series for their network. My thought is that maybe they would be willing to spend it on new Futurama episodes. CN can keep the reruns.
