Comedy Central Confirms 26 New Futurama Episodes

e9th was one of several readers to write with an update to the Futurama rumors we discussed earlier this week: "TVWeek reports that 20th Century Fox Television and Comedy Central have officially confirmed a deal for 26 new episodes of Futurama, due to the strong ratings of its reruns and feature-length specials. Matt Groening is quoted as saying, 'We're thrilled Futurama is coming back. We now have only 25,766 episodes to make before we catch up with Bender and Fry in the year 3000.' According to the press release, the episodes will begin to come out in mid-2010."

Futurama is animated using digital ink and paint techniques. So, yes, by its definition it would be CGI.

Oops left that there is extensive 3D CGI rendering used throughout the show by Rough Draft using the PowerAnimator modeling software.
You sir, as of my reading lately seem to be doing a lot of Karma whoring with your multiposts and it sickens me to see you succeed.
