Futurama Returns
riflemann writes "Another 26 episodes of Futurama will shortly go into production! This news comes from none other than Billy West (voice of Fry) himself, in a short post to his own message board. No further details are available, except that it's likely to be on TV, not straight to DVD." The best news is that means fresh quotes for slashteam to hide in the source code.
Well, bite my shiny metal ass.
I was going to have to make my own cartoon...with blackjack...and hookers.
"Back to the Futurama"?
Crazy theories one, regular theories a billion!
I, for one, welcome our humorous animated futuristic overlords.
Oh, Futurama, I love you more than the moon, the stars, the... POETIC IMAGE #36 NOT FOUND.
"offensive crap pandering to the masses"? More like the most centrist reporting of all the major networks. If you want your news tainted with left with ideals, tune into CBS, NBC, CNN and, to a lesser extent, ABC. If you want some balanced views, try the BBC, NPR/PBS and FOX.
You left wing hippies make me sick. Just because a network offers news/views you don't agree with, you dismiss it as crap. Get with the program and listen to both sides of the story.
In fact, forget the cartoon!
This poo is cold.
You people disgust me! There is currently a war in Iraq, american rights being taken away daily, a buggy operating system on almost every computer, and starving children in africa. With all this going you call another 16 episodes of a cartoon news? Blah!
Perl is just as much a programming language is as html. Dweeb!
Carl Kassell, of course. I mean, he's the only one you can get to record an answering machine message for you.

My fav:
"I'm not a machine, I don't like having disks crammed into me. Unless they're Oreos, and then only in the mouth."
You're right that keeping a series going too long is usually a bad idea - to my mind, though, that's a reason to kill off The Simpsons; Futurama still had some life in it.
As for resurrections of old shows: well, Star Trek managed it pretty well, I've been hearing good things about Battlestar Galactica, and the good Doctor is back and making sure that a new generation of small children get thoroughly terrified - this time with special effects that are both special and effective. You don't always get The Phantom Menace.
Real Daleks don't climb stairs - they level the building.
I never thought it possible to suck all the joy out of there being more Futurama, but you just did it. Nice going.
By summer it was all gone...now shesmovedon. --
All Hail the Hypnotoad!!!!

Exactly. Just like how actual scientists have degrees in scientology.
Ewige Blumenkraft.
They should have had at least one with a fungineering degree
It's an F'ing shame, that's what it is!
Does it make you happy you're so strange?
Interesting...no, wait. That other thing - tedious.
