Groening Confident on Futurama Relaunch

Posted by Zonk on from the kiss-my-shiny-metal-daffodil dept.

friedo writes "Matt Groening, creator of The Simpsons and Futurama, says there may yet be hope for a renewed Futurama series, thanks to high DVD sales and syndication ratings. Comments from David X. Cohen: 'Three months ago, I would have said we were going to start tomorrow ... And one month ago I would also have said we were going to start tomorrow. So...my current estimate is that we're starting tomorrow.'"

    The Family Guy came back because of the demand of the fans. Futurama can do it too!

    Yeah, and Futurama doesn't suck, so there's that much more reason to bring it back.

    Seriously though, Fox will put themselves out of buisness with this mentality. Oh, wait. No they won't. Only a small percentage of people actually like these cancelled shows, no matter how good they are. Everyone else is watching whatever goatspew fills the other 6 nights of their schedule. I don't imagine Fox regularly pre-empts most of its shows for football.

    But when Peter mentions that "someone lost an eye at bingo" followed by a flashback of the bingo caller dropping "I-17" on the ground (which is funny by itself); and then followed by the bingo caller bending over to pick up the bingo ball and smashing his eye into the corner of the table. I'm sorry, but that's just some smart humor.


    Guess you had to be there.
