Matt Groening In Talks With Netflix For Animated Series (variety.com)
An anonymous reader writes: Matt Groening, creator of "The Simpsons" and "Futurama," is reportedly in talks with Netflix about creating a new animated series. According to Variety, details about the new show are still being kept secret, but it would involve a contract for two seasons of 10 episodes apiece. This would be Groening's first major new project since Futurama premiered in 1999.
be something geeky like the original Futurama. . .

Matt Groening SJW
He also committed to a yearly $50,000 donation to help students produce socially conscious short films.
Looking forward to seeing how this plays out amongst the outraged /. population.
I am Slashdot. Are you Slashdot as well?

Very good news indeed. Can't wait!!
So you are not just an SJW but also a commie?
You really sound like a delightful person who I would like to get to know further.
Presumably Groening is living comfortably off the residuals of The Simpsons and Futurama. He therefore had zero incentive to create anything original for the last 16 years.
This is society's loss. Now if his income had dried up 10 years ago, he would have gotten off his Duff and produced something for our enjoyment and remained comfortably off at the same time.
Thanks, ridiculous infinite copyright!
PS I know he is working on a new project now, but we cannot rely on boredom as an incentive.
Prove anything by multiplying Huge Number times Tiny Number
Considering your use of "SJW" I'm gonna reasonably extrapolate that in YOUR world a "commie" is the same thing as a "liberal" or an "SJW"; all three are empty catch-phrases used by right-wing scumbags to mean "meany people who say things I don't like".
So in that sense, yes, I'm a commie ...in the minds of reactionaries such as you, everyone to the political left of Trump or Hitler is a "commie".
Like the other alt-right scum on this site; you're so far out in the weeds you have no idea where or what the mainstream even is.
"SJW" is the new "commie", meaning anytime that you encounter someone using it unironically, you know that you're dealing with a right-wing fucktard.
To which all I can say is: cry more, faggot.
Found the self-important uptight, humorless, racist* SJW cry baby!
* - Oh yes you are. Anyone who sees "race" behind everything is a racist. That especially includes the #OnlyBlackLivesMatter thugs. BTW, when you make everything about race, NOTHING is. But you're probably too steeped in your close-minded little sheltered intellectual echo chamber to realize that.
The Simpsons hasn't been funny in a decade. And after it was canceled it was never quite as good, Seasons 5, 6 and 7 are optional for viewing.
Can't we have Matt Groening pick a successor in the industry, say something nice about him (or her) and then we all go watch the new blood take a crack at making us laugh?

Wow, you just can't make up 'Bigoted Stupid' like this. Did you go to Berkeley? (The New Center for Hate.) Because you are truly filled with hate (and bigotry) while being totally clueless. Also, Godwin proves you are a total Loser.
Like a typical redpill moron, you project your own fucked up nature onto other people.
Also, you're using "godwin" wrong; this conversation started out in the shit the minute you alt-right fuckheads came in to whine about your imaginary "SJW" bugaboo.
Now go on and follow your hero Hoover's example and put on your pretty dress and SWAT some liberals from the safety of your bedroom.
Better yet! Do the world a favor and follow your Feurher's example and eat a bullet.
stale?
A bitter, lonely old-man with no life, no friends, and no family cries out for attention on the internet. Your hatred for yourself is palaple, and you still have no clue about Godwin or anything not related to your hate-filled 'existence.' I have no doubt who will eat a bullet late at night under a bridge. You are to be pitied.
Awww, now I feel bad for you (unlike redpills, normal people have a sense of empathy).
Here's your reply, grandpa! Last one though -I'm cutting you loose, bitch!
Thanks for proving everything I said about you alt-right weenies being lost in the weeds and out of touch with normal, healthy political views.
Maybe you should get out of your own echo chamber for a bit, you daft stormfag. Get some opinions from people who actually disagree with you for a change you, huge cuck.
I'm here, so I already am; because between the two of us I'm by far the better person. Then again alt-right scum like you barely qualify as "people" to begin with!
"stormfag", "cuck", "I'm by far the better person"
Damn, you're almost a caricature of a leftist. Have you ever actually done something responsible?
Close-minded, sheltered simps like you are why Detroit and Greece are bankrupt.
Like a typical redpill moron, you project your own fucked up nature onto other people.

/. has reached the point where I honestly can't tell whether the posts are generated by "rant bots" or not. Thanks SJW Friday!

Socialism: a lie told by totalitarians and believed by fools.
Are you going to talk about NASA or not?
b-b-b-b-but muh nazis!
If thinking people are mentally ill for identifying as nonexistant creatures and demanding the use of correct "pronouns" makes you a Nazi, then I guess I'm fine with being a Nazi.
Got any other shaming tactics you want to try?
Like from for an hour with The Simpsons and Futurama. Stupid Fox had to put Futurama earlier with NFL messing its schedule up!

Replace right with left and you and I are in total agreement.
He is bringing Akbar and Jeff to prime time.
You'll never take your country back by arguing on the Internet. The left can't make any progress online either, pretending Bernie is anything other than a side show is the best they can do. None of it will affect real day to day events. All of it is a waste of time and serves only to pacify by making us feel productive "Harumph, I showed him!"
Good for you. Meanwhile nothing changes. No one learns anything new. You go to work. File your taxes. Pay you bills. Make love. Reproduce. Grow old, and die.
Can't give much more info put I try to host all information relating to cord cutting at www.cutcordinfo.com
And less influence f the BOX network. I heard you can accelerate the schedule with some Torgo's Executive Powder...

How hard would it be to redo the original Futurama series (1-5) in HD. As in re do the animation add in extra on the edges as needed or crop if you want to be a stickler but just make the whole thing scene for scene in 4K (not extras no new techniques on shading or anything) - I would re buy this in a heartbeat. The audio is there already - you don't need the actors for anything. Unlike film, animation can be redone.
It's actually something I have though could almost be crowdsourced ala 'star wars uncut' but with people trying to be 100% accurate to the source materials create a repo of some of the common backdrops and skilled people could do a scene each... dam copyright.
Interesting take. Mine is that it's Doctor Who re-imagined through the Adult Swim Lens.
Some people don't believe in fairies. I don't believe in The Patriarchy.
With insults like this, you should surely go back to posting on 4chan's /pol/ board.
I love your use of the term "right wing scum-bags" as you rage against political labelling. it gives your argument so much power and validity.
You can be sure Seth MacFarlane had a hand in it.
