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.'"

    (Quote) We will also be shedding light on several lingering questions from the original run, including ... Seymour the dog. (/Quote)

    Oh Man, oh man, oh man! Jurassic Bark, the episode featuring Seymour the dog, has to be one of the best written pieces of television I've ever seen, as well as one of the saddest. Look, I'm a grown man, and every time I see that episode, I cry. Anything that can do that is good television.

    Oh, yah. If you can't tell, I'm REALLY excited about the return of Futurama.

      Ya I hate that episode, and by hate I mean I don't like feeling depressed for hours after it.

      You son of a bitch, why did you even have to bring it up.

    I doubt it will. I like Family Guy, but Futurama's got much better fundamentals. Better characters, better actual stories (as opposed to joke hooks), and Family Guy has never actually affected me emotionally like several of the last season Futurama episodes. I think they'll be fine.
