No New Series of Futurama

    So, this "Billy West" is the actual Billy West who did the voices of Philip J. Fry/Prof. Hubert J. Farnsworth/Dr. Zoidberg/Zapp Brannigan/Leo Wong/Smitty/President Richard Nixon's Head in the Futurama series.

    Now, why in the hell is he saying that another season was in the works if he didn't have a contract signed for it? One would muse that the lead voice actor for a television show would wait until the ink has at least dried on his contract before announcing his next venture.

    I'm going to hereby label any "news" posted on Slashdot from the billywest.com forums to be speculation or an overzealous announcement. Didn't you read his latest post about Rupert Murdoch promising him a Futurama channel syndicating all Futurama all the time? That's right, and there aren't going to be any commercials either. I think he later apologized and told his fans that he was on an opium bender when that meeting "happened."

    Adult Swim tried airing a Seth Green show called "Robot Chicken" that is nothing but "concentrated bits of funny" -- little pop culture vignettes between 2 and 60 seconds in length. I didn't like it, but I also don't like "Family Guy's" use of the technique, so I guess I'm not mature enough to handle either show.
