Futurama: Can it be True!?
foolinator writes "Wired News has reported that Futurama could be making a comeback! From the article: "Last year, Futurama and Family Guy reruns did so well that it's likely both shows (which Fox killed in prime time) will produce new episodes."
" Now if only I could get more Firefly, TV might be worth watching again.
"Good news everyone, we're canceled!"
Stewie Griffin: [After Lois tries to feed Stewie his broccoli "airplane style"] Damn you, Damn the Broccoli, and Damn the Wright Brothers.
I hope someone at Fox got the axe for cancelling the two shows in the first place.
to the people that had Futurama canned...
Kiss my shiny metal ass....

Sheesh, did they have to change the name of Phoenix/Firebird/Firefox/whatever again?!?
1. Create insanely funny, brilliant show. Allow critics and internet forum readers to rave about said brilliance while it airs on FOX.
2. Allow FOX to cancel your series after a few seasons.
3. Send out a couple of DVDs that sell millions of copies.
4. Air reruns on Cartoon Network that become insanely popular.
5. ???
6. PROFIT!
*Buzzing Sounds* (Together) We will reinstate Futurama... All glory to the hypnotoad.
This has been tried before but the artist's hands got very sore half way through the show.

I don't know why it's doing so poorly! All we did is move its timeslot around and then preempt it with sports that its target audience doesn't want to watch.
[as] is like the nice, sweet geek friend who loves a girl (great cartoons) who's with a horrible boyfriend (Fox). He treats her wrong, and she runs to her geek. But as soon as she's feeling better, the dumbass boyfriend wants her back.
I'm not sure how to feel about this. Part of me says "woo hoo! New Episodes!" But another part says "Now it will be in the mainstream again, complete with lots of disgusting, annoying commercials and no funny cards."
I'm in the hole of the broadband donut.
"No, Homer. Very few cartoons are broadcast live, it's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists."
Send lawyers, guns, and money!
I think when you said censatized you meant sensitized by which you meant desensitized and were really after the word inured.
Otherwise you're totally right.
Please note, there are no laugh tracks in any of the above shows
Not yet. Anyone remember when Comedy Central picked up "Sports Night" and added a laugh track to it? It was downright creepy.
Imagine someone taking your favorite drama, and adding a laugh track to the 'funny' parts.
Bones: "Damnit Jim, I'm a doctor not a cement mixer!"
[laughter]
Cipher: "I don't even see the codes anymore, just blonde..brunette"
[laughter]
Luke: "More than you can imagine"
Han: "I can imagine a lot"

Director: The network Execubots are coming!
Calculon: Dear God!
[Enter three huge clunky robots on tracks.] Betabot: Presenting the president of the network.
Network President: Greetings gentlemen, you already know my Execubots. Executive Alpha, programmed to like things that are seen before.
Alphabot: Hey hey hey.
Network President: Executive Beta, programmed to roll dice to determine the fall schedule.
[Betabot rolls two dice.]
Betabot: More reality shows.
Network President: And Executive Gamma, programmed to underestimate middle America.
Gammabot: It's funny but is it going to get them off their tractors?
Network President: Now, who put this obnoxious dancing robot on my network?
Director: We were about to fire him sir.
Network President: Silence hack! We've been monitoring our Nielsen families carefully and during the 12 seconds Bender was on screen, viewer eyeball focus was up 90%.
Calculon: Sir, children watch this show. Bender's no role model, he's a filth monger!
Network President: At our network, we love filth! Filthy rich that is! Being filthy rich that is! [He laughs. something fizzles towards the Execubots from the president and they all laugh with him.] "Bite my shiny metal ass" could be a catchphrase.
Alphabot: 80% likely.
Gammabot: It will play in Peoria.
[Betabot rolls his dice.]
Betabot: Gameshows are back.
Sig removed because it was obnoxious
Yeah, and Jimmy Kimmel gets her.
Hey, Sarah! If you wanted fat and not funny, I could have toned down my sense of humor for you, baby!
