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?

  1. Television has to die... by ites · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Roll on the day when I can buy programmes of my choice and get them sent to my hard drive to watch at my leisure. There is the small issue of payment and copy protection but it's not a killer. I'd be happy to pay for (e.g.) a season of online Futurama if I could get a hardcopy on DVD.
    Anyhow, the obvious solution is product placement. Bite my shiny metal Pepsi ass!

  2. How will they pre-empt it? by Col.+Klink+(retired) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    But Cartoon network doesn't run any football games, so how do they plan to pre-empt it?

    I swear, Fox must have *hated* this show. On 12/22, Futurama was the ONLY program Fox was planning to show that was not a rerun. They scheduled it for 7pm and, like every football game every season, the game ran long and they pre-empted Futurama again.
