Matt Groening Talks About Futurama's Comeback

Posted by Zonk on from the you-seem-malnourished-are-you-suffering-from-internal-parasites- dept.

Joel Keller writes "When I was at the Television Critics Association press tour earlier last month, I briefly talked to Matt Groening about Futurama's comeback. I posted the interview to TV Squad a couple of days ago. The man behind the Simpsons and Futurama talks about the latter's comeback, the fun of doing sci-fi in a comedy format, and a few words about the first episode to air on Comedy Central."

    Yes I too enjoyed that episode of South Park. Kudos to your original commentary. We could all learn a thing or two from you.

  4. Re:It Died Because It Was Boring by odasnac · · Score: 5, Insightful

    it died because:

      it wasn't given a consistent timeslot
      it was constantly preempted by sporting events
      it was NEVER promoted by fox
    fox is stupid

    i don't need to cite sources, as all of these are fairly well established (or i'm lazy)

    We also have Rough Draft Studios animating once again,

    But will the new episodes be painstakingly drawn before a live audience?

  6. leeway not on Cartoon Network by Sebastopol · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Cartoon Network notoriously censors The Professor whenever he uses the term "sweet zombie jesus".

    I hope Comedy Central doesn't stoop this low.

    (I googled for this a year ago when I noticed it and found a website saying it was due to C.N. claiming it was offensive, but I can't find the link now.)
