Futurama Season 4 Update from David X. Cohen

Robotron2084 writes "Just goes to show that the best animated tv show around has some of the savviest producers around. Futurama producer/co-writer David X. Cohen posted this message on alt.tv.futurama recently. Interesting tidbits for futurama addicts to munch on while we await the season premiere on Dec. 9th. David talks about the prestigious awards they've received, upcoming guest appearances, and the banned christmas episode. I guess the fox executives were a bit scared of 'kwanzabot' at first, but they'll finally be airing a double-Xmas dose on Dec. 23rd!!"

Re:I like the show

[Sarcasmooo!]

Am I missing something? 10 comments in, most of which are 'frst post d00d!' and it's the most poorly received Slashdot story you've seen?

Yeah right... Re:Bad timing

Coming from someone who was up at 2:00am watching Ultimate Fighting Championship when his Phys 170 final was at 8:30am last year, I must say that this will be perfect for me to procrastinate.

Thanks Futurama, I'm probably going to fail EECE 356 because of you!

Re:people are also stupid

[Sarcasmooo!]

I don't see what's wrong with friends. Seems to me like it's a modern, wholesome, realistic portrayal of a New York City where people of color are never around in any capacity.

Moe turns his bar into a family restaurant

Uncle Moe's Family Feedbag was ok for a name, but I still think he should have gone with Chariman Moe's Magic Wok.

best TV show, ever.

Futurerama is THE geek show. secret codes, alien languages, robots, good parody of technology, bitchen spaceships, hot chicks, great animation.

Any show thats had Gary Gygax on it gets an immediate nerd rating. todays generation of geeks and nerds will look back on Futurama like yesterday geek look back on the Original ST.

I love the apartment numbering system in bender and fry's building. Not to mention the robot perspective of the world is pretty damn funny.

Any show with an anti-chrysler building has got to be good.
One of the principle characters is named after the inventor of Television, probably one of the first Technology geeks.

Remember Sesame Street? The part where they showed four objects and sang about which one didn't fit?
