And the other good news is that they're doing 26 new episodes of
''Futurama'' for TV and we're hammering out the deal now.The original
plan was to have the DVD's first but that's no longer the case.I'm totaly
jammed dude.
Greetings from the year 3000! It still sucks!

I have mixed feelings about this.

Me too. It could turn out like Family Guy. :|

That's exactly what I am afraid of.
I doubt that; Seth McFarlane isn't involved.

The thing is though, by the time the show ended it was good because everyone working on it had figured out how to gel together. One of the things with new Family Guy is, by the time they got back together, they forgot how to do that.
That could easily happen with Futurama, or anyshow for that matter.
True, but Matt Groening is still calling the shots, I would imagine. He kept a show going for almost 20 years. Surely he can be the glue for this project. Plus, Futurama had a resurrection before and didn't fail due to inside malfunctions.

That's why I said I'm mixed. It could still turn out ok, I plan to give it a shot. I'm just afraid of it sucking out badly. It could be as good as the old eps.

There's a good chance that it will blow chunks, but I'm just going to cross my fingers and watch anyway.

All thanks to you. Whatever would we have done without your unending insight and brilliance.
I'm pretty excited to hear Futurama will be back for another season. Crappy or not, I'd rather see sh*tty new episodes of Futurama than another reality show FOX would be sure to put in it's place.

Dont' blame me, Chuck Norris needed the material, so he hired all the good writers to pen his TV Movies.

Bah! Billy West spoke too soon.
Billy West, who this weekend indicated that FUTURAMA would return with 26 new episodes, now says that David X. Cohen has bludgeoned him with a correction:
FUTURAMA will not be back with 26 new episodes. But, supposedly, the straight-to-DVD titles originally discussed are still on track.
Woulda been cooler if there'd been 26 new eps...*shakes her fist at Billy West for getting her hopes up*

Guys,
I'm sorry I gave inaccurate info on the cartoon.I was told on one end that the TV show was a go but DXC enlightened me (with a hammer) that this was not the case.I think there is a Futurama project as in DVD's but I appearently had bad info.But I do live to give good Futurama news to people. So I must've died or something.
All eyes on the skies,
Billy

Wait a second guys, I am as shocked as some of you. I watch Futurama all the time on Teletoon and I am shocked that Billy West tells us there ie no 26 episodes planned but a dvd release..
That may be good.
If they do really well with the dvd, maybe we'll all apoligize and maybe the show might start fresh again..

apoligize? why?
Anyways, weren't there a topic that said that the Futurama team was going to make 4 Futurama movies to be released on DVD? Whatever happened to that?

I think there was a topic on here..
What I mean people would say the show wouldn't be as good as it was like family guy has been..
What I also mean if the dvd was successful and so was teh show, people would say they were sorry for saying bad thigns and watch it..

Dammit. Seriously. What else has fox have planned? Another bastardization of Married with Children or Malcom in the Middle? Or will they ripoff another ABC reality show that they stole from some Dutch or British counrty?
But the DVd's sound pretty sweet. I havemn't been able to get even the Futurama comics in some time, so this is something I'll look out for.

Dude, for the record, Malcom in the Middle is an awful show.
As for this whole Futurama news, it's too bad we're not getting new episodes.
I'm still scratching my head as to why Billy West has a self-praising message board named after him. Someone's starving for attention...
And Zarius... Holy crap. I don't know why you're ******** all over the Simpsons like that. The show is awesome and legendary. Always has been and still is.

I agree. I've never understood the Simpsons hate. Don't try to convince me with a long string of posts either. Don't want to hear it.
Either way, I'm glad Futurama isn't dead. Fu*king Fox is so stupid.

The Simpsons are a household word, but so is garbage, and it stinks when it gets old too.
I'm a fan of the first ten seasons, take that and bank it

Not for nothing, but the same thing can be said about your constant vocalized view of The Simpsons.

And the same can be said of your constant whining about my opinion. Admit it, you single me out specifically when others have expressed dislike because I constantly preach about good the show used to be comapred to this garbage, if it gets old to you, don't read it, I don't expect Simpsons defendants to care much what the detractors think.

I'm not singling you out. Actually, others have focused on you for your opinion on The Simpsons simply because yours is the strongest, frequent, and most negative. You make it sound like I'm jumping on some bandwagon or something. That's not true.
There are a lot of people who feel that the show has gotten stale, but they don't express it as straightforward as you do. Of course, there's nothing really wrong with that; I'm basically just stating the obvious.

... Don't most voice actors have such? It's also a good way to get exposure....
