I don't have much time to say much, but I wanted to announce that I heard the other day that Futurama will be returning with new episodes in 2008. Time to start the celebration.
Discuss favorite past episodes and ideas for episodes in which you think may be good ideas for the new season!!
oh yeah, and let's all pray together that it doesn't pull a "Family Guy" and be totally stupid and ruin it's own legend _________________ GTX: Great Teacher Xeno... my daily blog about teaching in an elementary and middle school in Japan (see right-menu)

I've hurled myself off the Family Guy bandwagon. It's just corny, childish and offensive now... and just to show you how much my opinion is worth... I live not more than 5 minutes away from Rhode Island and there's nothing more that I enjoy in life more than making fun of Rhode Islanders (as FG does so well), but even I've had to roll my eyes a lot more lately at what they've been airing (the pro-football episode in which Pter joins the Patriots only pissed me off and I'm a huge Pats fan). Seasons 1-3 were comedic goal, seasons 4 and up are garbage (though I am willing make an exception for SOME parts of the movie... hehheh.. there should be a "o" in "country"... oh Quagmire...)

It's amazing how quickly people change their minds once big checks start being dangled in front of them. Keep in mind however that the creator of Futurama and the Simpsons is the same guy (but I know you knew that already). And even though the Simpsons is kinda wavering in it's fan-support, the Fox execs claim it's better than ever... otherwise they NEVER would have greenlighted the motion picture... especially after what... 16? 17? 18? seasons _________________ GTX: Great Teacher Xeno... my daily blog about teaching in an elementary and middle school in Japan (see right-menu)
I don't know where people get that The Simpson is doing bad. Believe it or not, after all this time The Simpsons is still standing strong. It's kinda like with Family. A lot of people stopped liking it after a while but it's ratings and viewers are doing just fine.
Anyway, this is great news. I LOVE Futurama and I can't wait to watch the new episodes. It's stuff Family Guy and Futurama that lets people know a show can never truly be dead.
One of my favorite episode would have to be the one with the mermaids. I LOVED that episode. _________________

That one was gold!!!
"He went that way! Where the water gets warmer!"~rofl
xeno> Its true there are many offencive moments in Family Guy, that even I dont like....but I just ignore them and watch the rest........and thats whats kept me a fan of the program.....(well, not fan...but it is awsome^^)
The Simpsons are still going as strong as ever...getting in the viewers....but most will admit that its just drop in quality compared to the older series.......(by quality, I dont mean animation of course...just the humour and plots)....
Although I love the fact that Futurama is comming back.....(I actualy much preffer it to the Simpsons, and am sure that if it came before it, would be much more popular).......but I do hope it dosnt go down the same road as its sister series........the way it is now, its even more of a cult classic, and thats part of what makes it great...

Maybe they're bringing back Futurama in light of the upcoming final season of Simpsons. If I remember correctly, the Simpsons has an 18 season contract with FOX and is going to be ending that contract soon (within the next couple of years).
I loved Futurama and am looking foward to the (hopefully) great future episodes.

According to a friend of mine, it's not Fox that's reviving the series, but Cartoon Network. He said that Matt Groening (he pronounced it "Groaning" so who know how reliable as a source he is, ::points and laughs::) was getting pissing at Fox since they were only buying the series episode-by-episode and not just ordering whole seasons. Things must have happened and they went their separate ways a few years ago. Now that Cartoon Network/Adult Swim/Williams Street realizes that Futurama is a cash-cow, they've picked up the tab. Of course, I have yet to confirm all this elsewhere.
And just as an aside note regarding Futurama and Family Guy's original runs, they had both started on Sundays at 7pm and 7:30pm which, as you may or may not remember, meant they were on directly after the NFL Football games. So if a game went long, which it did about 95% of the time, F and FG were pushed back to after midnight, if ever. People probably didn't want to stay up that late, so they skipped, and so the dumbass execs probably assumed that people just plain didn't like the shows. Now with DVD sales of both series (and the Simpsons) dominating the sales charts, the execs have refocused their attention.
And now "A Clone of My Own (2000)" is on... so see ya lata, jerkwads!!!
PS my fave line is from the episode with the Ally McBeal parody...

I thought it was pronounced Groaning or is it more like "Graining?"
...I knew that Futurama suffered the same fate as did Family Guy, when it was prematurely cancelled because of American Football broadcasting past other shows' time. Too bad that is the only thing Family Guy can compare itself with Futurama, because FG sucks and Futurama was infinitely superior.
Cartman: Don't you EVER compare me to Family Guy! Family Guy is just a bunch of irrelevant jokes!
By the way, I never was quite fastidious with Futurama trivia. But one time at my school, former writers for Simpsons and Futurama came to give a lecture. They were talking about all the science references in Simpsons and Futurama (Fermat's Last Theorem, Pauli Exclusion Principle, etc.) They also told me about the frustration they had with trying to convince the producers to agree with including jokes into the cartoon. I am not sure if this was an actual line from Futurama, but I remember that the writers wanted something like this:
(Zoidberg and some other person)
Person: Where I come from, citizens get crabby when you fiddle with their ideals.
Zoidberg: Where I come from, the ideal citizen is a fiddler crab!
...That wasn't that funny, but I liked Futurama episode(s) with the billboard for St. Pauli's Exclusion Principle Girl Beer!

Yes, it's pronounced Graining. There's a joke in the Simpsons in which Matt appears in Springfield and a bunch of people crowd him for autographs. The camera centers on Milhouse standing at Matt's side holding up a book and saying "can I pllleeeeaaasseeee have your autopgraph, Mister Groaning!!" So if you never got that joke, now you do

That episode was hilarious. Ironic though with the whole Muhammed debate since Muhammed HAD already been on SP... a few years earlier in the "Super Best Friends" episode.
