[Movie] Futurama

It's coming back! According to Billy West, they signed on for 26 more episodes for TV which will shortly go into production!

HELL. YES.

How ya doing, buddy?

Futurama is my favorite show of all time, so this is no doubt some of the best news I've heard in my entire existence. Good shows - 3, Fox - 0.

Family Guy has seen enormous success since it came back, I expect the same for Futurama, and Arrested Development supposedly has new life on Showtime. Fucking amazing. I love it. I will go watch the Seymour episode so I can cry like a baby again.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I just can't believe they allow shit like The War At Home to be on the air over shows like these. The main question is what dipshits actually watch shows like that? It's just abysmal.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Family Guy has definitely gone downhill, but it's still funnier than most shows. They have way too many songs (and none of them are good), and they make jokes go on for way too long. With Futurama, I just can't see them doing any wrong.

How ya doing, buddy?

I agree, and people still hurl stones at me for it. Glad there's another one out there who shares my opinion on this brilliant show!

I was speaking idiomatically.

If anyone needs me I'll be in the angry dome!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

GOD DAMN IT.

In all seriousness, if anyone needs me I'll be in the angry dome.

The executive at Fox is the kind of guy who goes to Jerusalem and doesn't even visit the sexeteria!

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

IT'S COMING BACK, BABY!!!

June 22, 2006 -- 'FUTURAMA" is officially back from the dead.
The quirky animated show from "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening was canceled by Fox about two years ago, but will return with at least 13 new episodes on Comedy Central by 2008.

This is only the second time in television history that a show sent to TV's trash heap has been resurrected. Curiously, the first was "Family Guy," also an animated Fox show.

The tale of "Futurama's" dramatic revival roughly follows that same path that "Family Guy" did.

In both cases, the shows have been successfully airing on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim late-night programming block. They both also turned into hot-selling DVD box sets.

"Family Guy" returned to Fox earlier this year, while last fall, Comedy Central outbid Adult Swim for the license to air all 52 episodes of "Futurama" and whatever new episodes might one day be produced.

This week, deals were inked to secure all of the original voice talent and the production staff of "Futurama," paving the way for the series' return to TV.

The show stars voice-over megastar Billy West (whose elastic vocal chords have provided the voices for nearly 120 different cartoons) as Philip J. Fry, a bumbling slacker from the 20th century who is accidentally cryogenically frozen in 1999 and wakes up 1,000 years later.

It is believed that the new episodes will also be released on DVD.

"Futurama" star Katey Sagal confirmed the return of the show on Comedy Central Tuesday night during an appearance on Craig Ferguson's "Late Late Show."

On Fox, "Futurama" never developed the same buzz or following of its sister show, "The Simpsons," but has since become one of the biggest shows on Adult Swim.

Fox may also have the option to air the new episodes, although it is highly unlikely to do so, according to industry sources

Fucking A, this is the best news I've heard in a long time. YES!!!!!!!!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They're announcing this news EVERYWHERE, so I think there's less of a chance of it being a false alarm than before. The only thing that sounds fishy is the 2008 release date. That just seems like, WAY too much of a wait. I can't wait that long, but I suppose I'll do my best!

There's nowhere I can't reach.

MAW! PAW! DON'T MAKE ME CHOOSE!!

Most amazing jew boots

This is way too depressing. I'll be in the holoshed.
