Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD)

Posted by timothy on from the can't-get-enough-amy dept.

Nik writes "Hot on the heels of Family Guy's revival, Can't Get Enough Futurama is reporting that 'there is renewed talk at FOX about bringing fresh Futurama content directly to DVD.' While nothing is confirmed at this point, it is apparently the first time that a division of Fox has considered producing new episodes of the animated sci-fi series in some time."

    Could someone explain, in straightforward terms, why SlashDot does this? Do they also do it for non-AC posts?
