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

I'll hate to see the absolute thrashing you'll get for this comment, but by God, you're right. How many times to we need to see that certain Anime DVD titles *might* come out on DVD, yet... where's the Simpsons Season 1 DVD review? Not that the review would be terribly *good* mind you.

Oops! "Here" shouldn't be in the key words!

"David X. Cohen Futurama" (I have no idea how "here" got in there). :)

Re:Kwanzabot?

[DoorFrame]

Kwaanza was a holidy invented in 1966 by a professor somewhere out in California. I'm not entirely clear what the point is, it has something to do with agriculture as I recall. Basically it's a holiday custom created for African-Americans to celebrate in December (because we didn't have enough with Christmas and Hanakkah?).

What's with King of the Hill?

[Jaycatt]

I still don't get the attraction to King of the Hill... It's animated, but why? It doesn't seem to do anything for the genre; doesn't take advantage of the animation capabilities. Wouldn't it have been a more successful show if it had been live-action? I definately see the comparison to the Simpsons, especially the first season Simpsons, where the storylines were more "real" and less zany.
