Futurama Returns

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-news-everyone dept.

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.

  1. Now it's time to kill The Simpsons by Nicky+G · · Score: 5, Insightful
    OK -- Family Guy is back, American Dad is getting pretty decent IMO. Futurama is returning.

    PLEASE kill The Simpsons already. The longer it goes on, the darker the future is for all of us.

  2. Another great service... by AlphaLop · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Done by Cartoon Network. Im sure the high ratings Futurama reruns get there and on Fox had a lot to do with it.

    Balanced views: BBC, NPR, PBS, and FOX.

    The BBC: Mishal Husain. NPR: Carl Kassell. PSB: Jim Lehrer. FOX: Bill O'Reilly.

    In the words of one of the great PBS productions, "one of these things is not like the others."

    Futurama is different though. The viewers didn't leave. The network did.

    Regardless of the quality of the product, if they think they can make money, they will try.

    I for one believe the quality of this product is top notch and am glad to see it coming back. I welcome back our sardine craving, can get no loving, lobster overlord.

    As Bender (Staying on topic) would say: Wrong. How many scandals have erupted based on "biased" reporting on Fox? Now count how many happened during the elections by "Mainstream media" as you put it? Dan Rather anyone? That said, I am writing this from Iraq. I work intel at the multi-national corps level. The only station that comes close to reporting what's going on over here accurately is Fox. It's still pathetic liberal bias in the media does to the news.

    That explains why it isn't nearly as funny as shows written by actual writers

    What's an "actual writer" supposed to be? You think writers have a degree in writology?
