Futurama Cancelled (Again)

Posted by samzenpus on from the bye-bye-bender dept.

eldavojohn writes "Bad news everybody. According to Entertainment Weekly, Futurama has been cancelled (again). The renewal of Futurama back onto television was met with great fanfare but sadly it appears that Futurama's luck has run out for a second time. The second half of season 7 will air from June 19th to September 4th and that will be it."

      How come The Simpsons manage to stay fresh and funny?

    Don't bring a show back unless you can do it at similar quality as before.  Family Guy is a great example of the right way to do it.  Futurama is the wrong, sad, terrible way.

    Oh, there are lots of reasons to complain. Airing only 13 new episodes a year? Taking two years to airs a 'season'?

    So, I'm guessing you're not a Red Dwarf fan.
