FUTURAMA is BACK on TV!!!! New Episodes!

d1rtynyc · 11th June 2009

Holy Bender Bending Rodríguez!
Six years after getting axed by Fox, Futurama is being resurrected on Comedy Central.
A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox Television confirms that the cable net has ordered 26 new episodes of Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's late, great animated series to air beginning in 2010. The studio cites Futurama's "blockbuster" performance on DVD and in reruns on Comedy Central as the reason for its rebirth.
Hmmm... sound familiar?
"When we brought back Family Guy several years ago, everyone said that it was a once in a lifetime thing -- that canceled series stay canceled and cannot be revived," 20th Century Fox TV Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden said in a joint statement. "But Futurama was another series that fans simply demanded we bring back, and we couldn’t have been happier when Matt and David agreed that there were many more stories yet to tell."
Adds Groening: "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."
I have a hunch Groening isn't the only one doing a happy dance. (That's your cue to start filling up the comments section.)

Best news. Thanks for sharing!

Who axed Star Trek: Enterprise over there? They're feckin stupid too, that was a really good series.
Futurama? I wonder how Matt Groenig is feeling right now? Smug probably

I have a reason to install cable again...woot

Derp · 11th June 2009

Well, there goes $35 a month of my money! (Yes, I am actually going to get cable just so I can watch this one show.)

It's funny, I didn't like Futurama at first and thought it was kind of boring, but then I borrowed my mom's copy of season one, and found it mildly entertaining. Then I found all four seasons at Walmart for $20 and bought them for her. ...but they never made it to her because I watched them and was enthralled. I've been obsessed with the series ever since. As soon as my wife gets better at tattooing, I'm getting some ink on my stomach that says 'Life of Excess' and has a picture of Bender with his mouth where my bellybutton is so I can stick a cigar in there.

I think Family Guy is better than ever.
American Dad is even better!

Ren and Stimpy, not so much, but the main talent got kicked to the curb long before it came back.

American Dad is just the original series with slightly different characters.

I think we all need to thank Adult Swim for keeping quality shows on air when the networks failed to see their quality.
