David X. Cohen Interviewed on New Futurama

Posted by Zonk on from the everybody-loves-hypnotoad dept.

eldavojohn writes "Toyfare has a short but exclusive interview with co-creator of Futurama David X. Cohen. There's a lot of information about how they plan to continue the series. He also reveals they're halfway through writing the new season and just starting animation. When asked about his favorite minor character of the show, Cohen responded 'Hypnotoad. By the way, we are looking into producing a full 22-minute episode of Everybody Loves Hypnotoad for the DVD release. I am serious.'"

    For those who don't know it yet, if you view the raw headers of slashdot, you'll find Futurama quotes.

    I'm so excited Futurama is back that I hardly can contain myself!

    For those of you who don't know the episode is based on Hachiko the famous Japanese Dog who returned to the Shibuya train station in Tokyo for 11 years in an attempt to greet his dead master. So I don't know if I'd say it was the best writing ever, but a nice adaption from reality and a damn fine episode.

    Cheers,

    The Futurama DVD commentaries are seriously funnier than the shows sometimes, which is saying something. David X. Cohen and Ken Keeler are huge nerds, and John DiMaggio and Billy West are just plain hilarious.

    What? That wouldn't even be as good as your average season 4 episode of Hypnotoad.

    Every time that music gets to me and I start to tear up, I remember that the dog's name is Seymour Butts and I start laughing instead.

    For those of you who don't know the episode is based on Hachiko the famous Japanese Dog who returned to the Shibuya train station in Tokyo for 11 years in an attempt to greet his dead master. Or it may have been based on Greyfriar's Bobby

    It would be inappropriate since news about new Futurama episodes is actually good. Now, if the story was about said episodes being cancelled, THEN "Good news everyone!" works just fine. :)

    Seems to me that since Zoidberg is clearly based on Cthulhu, The Hypnotoad must be Tsathoggua. :-)

    Okay, how about this one?
    Farnsworth: Good news, everyone! We were supposed to make a delivery to the planet Tweenis 12, but it's been completely destroyed.
    Leela: What's good about that?
    Farnsworth: They paid in advance.
