Futurama Returns!

Psycho Yuffie · March 18, 2010, 04:06:49 AM

No, I'm not talking about another movie. I'm talking about actual episodes on TV. For the first time since 2003, brand new episodes will air starting June 24, 2010, on Comedy Central. Fans of the show have been begging for this for years, which is what spawned the movies. It was a bittersweet compromise, but the fans were happy to have something. Now, their prayers have been answered.

Personally, I loved this show and I was very upset when it was canceled. Family Guy returned before Futurama--twice! Futurama was a much better show than Family guy too. Oh, well. It's back now and I hope that everyone actually watches it, so it stays on the air. Yeah, I'm looking at YOU.

People who don't watch Futurama support Space Communism.

I don't have TV.
But I do remember Futurama, I liked it.

ACK. I don't have cable!

I have every Season and Movie, though! Futurama animated anything is a Day One-er for me!

Comics...no.

I support beer drinking robots, space traveling, talking lobsters, giant amazonian women , undead presidents, and the sort.

Unfortunately, Comedy Central will not look at pirate downloads as a means of keeping a show on their network. If people aren't watching it on their network, they'll cancel it.

Quote from: WikipediaOn June 10, 2009, Fox announced that up to 26 new episodes will be produced for Comedy Central.

David X. Cohen has stated that the first 13 episodes may air during 2010 as Season 6, and the remaining 13 episodes may air during 2011 as Season 7.

I'd really like lend you guys my help but, you know, different countries and stuff like that =/

Psycho Yuffie · March 18, 2010, 04:23:51 AM

I hope that Fox decides to produce more episodes if Seasons 6 and 7 are a success.

I can swear this was on regular TV at some point. Because Ive never had cable, and I've watched it once or twice.

Well, I wasn't a fan of them killing off some of the best characters: Kiff.

So uh, any idea what Canadian Network will be showing it if it's on Comedy Central in the US?

We have Comedy Network, but as I far as I know, they've never run Futurama on that channel.

In that case, I have no idea. Canada has most of the US's programming, so I just assumed that Canada had Comedy Central. Comedy Network and Comedy Central are probably different channels. As far as I can tell, it's only going to be on Comedy Central.

Obviously I didn't see them all. I saw the one where Fry gets a time code on his butt and the Dungeons and Dragons one. According to Wiki, there were two others that I haven't seen yet.

Obvious excitement from me.

I'll give you that, except I thought the first one was really good. It actually felt like a big story, a good one too. Whereas all the other ones didn't have that movie feel. They were just a handful of episodes that melded together.
