Talking Futurama is coming back

Comedy Central Resurrects Futurama
Source: Variety
June 23, 2006

Comedy Central has resurrected the former Fox series Futurama, ordering 13 episodes to debut in 2008. The deal builds upon the cable channel's acquisition of the 72-episode library last fall.

Discussions about a revival of the half-hour began in earnest earlier this year between Futurama producer 20th Century Fox Television and series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen.

Actors Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio are onboard for the new episodes that will continue the story of the pizza delivery boy, accidentally frozen for 1,000 years, who wakes up in the future.

Futurama has traveled a course similar to that of animated series Family Guy, which also was cancelled and later brought back after DVD releases and off-network repeats grew a new fanbase.

This is the best news of the day, I cant wait to see the new episodes. Futurama is way up there on my list of favorite cartoons.
I just hope that they'll play in Canada right away, as we dont have Comedy Central.

YES! This is soo awesome. Futurama is soo much better than Family Guy and new Simpsons, and well, almost all TV, ever. I'm so glad its finally coming back. Although I'm suprised that Adult Swim didn't just take the new episodes. I think Adult Swim gets more than enough viewers now that it would be worth it, especially considering that they are what kept Futurama alive this whole time, and are responsible for making Family Guy popular enough to be brought back.

I was never a fan of Futurama....until I bought the dvds. Theres something refreshing about watching a witty show with a plot, instead of just slapstick jokes for half an hour.

Cool! I never really got into the show until it got into syndication.

I bet the creators are in shock.

Wait, so if you weren't a fan, why did you buy the DVDs?

Well if you remember Slipknot's Blockbuster ordeal the DVD's technically could not have been "Bought".
