Futurama Confirmed on Cartoon Network

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the bite-my-shiny-metal-ass dept.

MrChubble writes "A quote from the cartoon network Adult Swim FAQ: "Starting January 12th the block will be extended to five nights a week (Sunday-Thursday) 11pm-2am et/pt and FUTURAMA will be added to the schedule." Sounds like fun to me." Jamie asks: it's nice to get confirmation of reruns, but will they be buying new episodes? Anyone know?

    I don't know about you, but I'm a student and I have to wake up at 5:30am... there's no way I can stay up until 2am watching cartoons.
    There is something so wrong with that sentance ;-)

    Ads for the syndicated Futurama on TOON have been plastered on the side of NYC buses for a couple of weeks now. Complete with Bender's signature invitation.

    Next time I see a new bus ad, I think I'll submit it as a story; and get a head start on all these fancy-shmancy web sites, who are REALLY behind the times...

    You! Cut my milk!
    You! Read my paper!
    You two! Fight to the death!
    What, you say milk can't be cut?
    Freeze it, THEN cut it!

    By your statement it's obvious you are in high-school, and therefore not a "Student"

    Real Students are watching TV at 11pm while figuring out what bar to go to because you just finished the case of beer you started on a couple hours ago with your buddies.

    Then the next morning (and by morning, I mean afternoon) there will be hazy discussions over last night's Fututrama... "I think it was funny... d00d, I'm sooo hungover! I only got $4 left, looks like we goot buy Busch again tonight..."

    Too bad you were too busy posting to Slashdot to notice that the DVD is planned for release on March 25th. You can preorder on Amazon if you wish.

    Blockquoth the poster:

    They scheduled it for 7pm and, like every football game every season, the game ran long and they pre-empted Futurama again.

    What amazes me is, you've got these highly-paid TV execs, in league with highly-paid NFL media managers, and none of them is clueful enough to notice, "Gee, every game has run 27 minutes long for the past 10 years. Maybe we should program the game to last until 7:30...."


    What are these guys paid for, anyhow?
