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!!"

Maybe all the posts are coming from 1000 years in the future. Just wait - we'll see posts formatted for AOLIEHTML v.78.

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). :)

Um

Just goes to show that the best animated tv show around has some of the savviest producers around.

But what do the producers of Family Guy have to do with Futurama?

Perhaps Futurama's producers should ask..A NINJA.

[Pancake-Eatin' Ninja]

Many times have I sat alone in my dojo, quietly meditating to images of pancakes and Futurama. Yes, declicious fluffy warm pancakes that I yurn to press to my buttocks and perform the forbidden dance. At one point in my journey, I visited the land of the Spaniards, and learned their ways. Longing to visit an IHOP during my journey, I confronted a young Spanish boy and interrogated him, his throat at the end of my katana blade.

"YOU HAVE OH-FENDED MAH FAH-MAH-LEE, AND YOU HAVE OH-FENDED A SHAO-LIN TEMPOOOOO." I yelled, drawing my sword.

"Que?" the boy replied..

"Cual es tu' direccion de Casa de Los Panqequis Internacional????" I begged him.

"Senor, Senor! No tengo panqequis otro Vermont Maple syrupa!!!" he replied.

"Silencio, changito gordo!!! Leer mis pantalones oro!!!!" I screamed, pointing to my golden pants filled with hot grits.

The boy ran. I also fled, to the nearest rooftop. Soon the boy's father entered the road where I had confronted his disobedient son..My thoughts turned to delicious pancakes as the boy's father began to forcefully spank him for telling vicious lies, and placing the reputation of his village's pancake-making abilities into question. He had also offended my family, and a Shao-Lin temple. Such punishment would be worthy of such an offense.


I continued on my journey.

My Life, My Love, My Pancakes

[Pancake-Eatin' Ninja]

So i'm sitting at the breakfast table yesterday morning when my delicious wife places a plate of eggs and bacon infront of me, with a side of "There you go, honey."

I was shocked. What could this woman be thinking?! Is this some sort of trick? Is she playing with my mind? Is she angry at me about something? My mind ran in endless circles as I wondered why my delicious wife did not serve my traditional meal--Pancakes.

"Hun?" I asked her..

"Yes dear?"

"QUAL ES TU DIRECCION DE EL CASA DE PANQUEQIS INTERNACIONAL??????????"

I screamed at her.

"Theres one down on Grant and Alvernon. Why?" she replied.

"Oh, nuthin..Just wondering. Sleep well last night?" I replied.

"Not really", she yawned, "You were snoring all night again."

"I see. And this is why you have chosen to disobey me, serving me strips of pork flesh and a chicken ovum when you know I desire nothing but pancakes." I asked.

"You got it." she grinned, "Honey, I just wish you would give up acting like a ninja, and the whole pancake thing. I love you just the way...."

"Silence, woman! I AM A NINJA, AND I DEMAND THAT YOU RESPECT ME IN MY DOJO!! So respect me in my dojo!!!!!! I will also have pancakes! You are a woman, and a woman must respect a man!!! I am also a ninja!!!!! You must obey me, and..." I yelled, just before I was knocked unconscious by her cast-iron skillet.

Just two words

Family Guy!!

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?).

Wow

They actually got William Shatner and George Takei in the same room together? I'm impressed.

Hey, dont forget the roof-mounted, spring-powered,
baby catapult from "Plague of Babies".

...or the organ harvesting from "Dark Harvest"

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.
