Futurama: Bender's Big Score


Recommended Posts

Comedy Central is running the show every night at 9 - but there has been no word of new episodes. I think Adult Swim got screwed on this deal.

 

Yeah, I watch it all the time on Comedy Central, but I've seen every episode 100 times. They'll probably see how well these DVD's sell, and that will determine if they will write new episodes (just like they did with Family Guy)

Bender's back, baby! New Futurama episodes are in our future

The cast of Futurama

Have you grown tired of bad TV news? And by bad TV news, I mean bad news about television shows. Bad "TV news" is redundant.

 

Well, get ready for some good news. No wait, get ready for some great news. No, great doesn't really describe it. Here is some grantasticularly wondergasmiclicious news! (And my 12th grade English teacher said I'd never amount to anything as a writer.)

 

Comedy Central has ordered all brand new episodes of Futurama, and the show has officially gone back into production.

 

An insider told Collider.com that the network has given the series an order for 13 additional episodes to air now that the network has run through all of the series' original episodes and the four full-length DVD movies. This news has sparked rumors that production has officially started again on the series and casting is underway.

 

It's not just good news for Futurama fans, even though the fans are slipping into grinning comas and twitching with joy over the news. And who can blame them? It's one of the few comedy series that just seems to get better and better the longer its run gets. It's the bizarro According to Jim.

 

It's also good news to every show that has been cancelled before its time. Matt Groening, David X. Cohen and company have proved that no show can truly die just because a single-minded network doesn't have the patience to let it develop and expand. Their dedication to the show and its fans is truly astounding, and if new episodes do make it to Comedy Central's doorstep, disappointed fanboys across the universe will have one less thing in life to be disappointed about.

Isn't this ultra news worth its own ultra thread?

I really want to watch some ultra porn now, but I don't think I'm old enough for it yet.

Wow, I'm surprised and very happy to see the show is getting a 2nd life. That is fantastic news. Over the past month I watched the whole series including the movies on DVD. I was feeling a bit sad after the last one thinking this might be it... and now this :).

I wonder if it has to do with money.

These kind of decisions are almost always money based.

 

Hopefully smarter heads prevail and we get the original cast back. Anything less would be a big disappointment, and totally unacceptable.

Definitely looking forward to it! One of my all time favorite shows. I always thought it was underrated when it came out and many people didn't give it a chance.. Glad to see it's back and hopefully they'll be many more seasons to come.
