Futurama Season 4 Update from David X. Cohen

Posted by chrisd on from the don't-let-the-beard-fool-you-flexo-is-the-good-one dept.

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!!"

  1. Futurama is rising, Simspsons is declining by mcarbone · · Score: 5, Informative

    perhaps it should watch an episode or two of _The Simpsons_

    Not if you watch an episode or two from the last few seasons. I think it is pretty clear to all Simpsons fans that the last 3 or 4 seasons of The Simpsons show signs of aging. Compared to these recent seasons, Futurama is a far superior and funnier show. However, Futurama still does not surpass Simpsons during its height; i.e., seasons 4, 5, and 6 (maybe 3).

    Then again, Futurama's very first season was about as funny as an above-average Simpsons season. So if it has a season 4 comparable to the Simpsons' season 4, we're in for a real treat.

    If you are in anticipation of the kick off of a new season - Here's a place to catch up on the latest gossip and even download a wallpaper for your puter. For those of you into ASCII art, they even have a few pics for you. If you are looking for a few original sketches or cells you might want to look Here.
    But if your a real die-hard, you can download a few MPEG episodes Here at around 220 meg per episode (also 56k'er versions available for the bandwidth impaired)
    I for one like the snappy comebacks and the semi-adult humor. My personal favorite is Bender drinking and smoking cigars!

    You could try the revamped Cant Get Enough Futurama site at http://www.gotfuturama.com. They have pretty much the entire old CGEF site back on-line now, including the Alien Language codecs - it's in the "Interactive" menu section.

    Week after week of homoerotic "sports" were beginning to make me think Futurama wasn't coming back. Unfortunately it won't be THIS Sunday. *sigh*--another Junkyard War rerun it is, I guess. I wish they'd kill off that idiot Tyler and bring back Robert.
