WOOOO!!!! Comedy Central orders BRAND NEW episodes of Futurama

This just made my week. Futurama was the best cartoon on television, I just hope it can retain what made it so great after this long hiatus.

YES!! I love futurama

awesome!! :D

Awesome, love Futurama!

I am excited, but I have a feeling this show is going to get very bad very fast.

YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

This is **** awesome! I can't wait, thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you!

I won't be watching it.... I LOVED the original episodes, but the movies proved the writers don't know what they're doing any more. They were ridiculously bad.Dark__Link

:shock: *head explodes* Bender's Big Score was horrible, but the other three movies were pretty good. Not as great as the originals, but still good. I hope these return the series back to its awesomeness.

Hmm I think that futurama is going downhill a bit, hope these new ones are good.

Do the Bender!

Im curious as to what they are gonna do considering the cliff hanger ending of the last movie.

new futurama?! what!!

But wait, according to an Article they're getting a smaller writing staff. Isn't that a good thing? Think of it, when you pitch an idea, it wouldn't be as many people altering it from the original plot.

Hmmmm...I am a fan of Futurama, as well, but after witnessing what happened to Spongebob, Simpsons, and Family Guy, I'm not going to get myself too hyyped up for these new futuramas...

Even if it's only half as good as it originally was it will still be better than anything else on TV, huzzah!

Awesome I can't wait

I think they'll be back and just as good as ever. The movies weren't perfect, but they had to write a movie in such a way it could be cut into three or four episodes which hurt the movies, but back to doing stuff episode to episode should bring them back to the standards of when they left.

I just wonder if they're going to act like nothing happened with the first episode back, or pick up from the end of "Into the Wild Green Yonder?"

This is good to hear. :D

Is anyone here going to Comic-Con to see the panel or go get stuff signed by the cast and crew?

I hope they announce a concrete date for when it's coming back, and get signatures all over my Bender head.

In terms of what I'd like to see them do in episodes, I don't think the entire crew has been to Nibbler's home world, so there's a lot of possibilities for comedy there, and I want to see what the rest of Earth's cultures are like in the future. I want to see future China, England, Russia, etc. I know there's glimpses of those countries but I want more.

took Fox long enough to realize that there's a huge market for this show!LanceA63

Yeah the ratings for it were so good on Adult Swim that Comedy Central bought the rights. The ratings there were so good, the four movies got green lit. The sales of those were so good Comedy Central green-lit 13 new episodes. At that point Fox stepped in with their "expertise" and put up the money for another 13 to make up the season of 26 we're getting.

But you know what? I'll take it.

Calm down and think about this for a second. How many of are favourite shows have continued on just to ruin themselves along the way.. now futurama ended itself on a high, but what if they don't live up to the expectations and so kills itself of like so many shows before it? honestly i always wanted more episodes of it.. but i dunno if this will be a good move or a bad move.

YAY! I love Futurama so much. I can't wait for new episodes. *does a little dance*

This is great news. I have no idea why Fox cancelled such a great show in the first place.

XD

Hopefully Comedy Central will use South Park as the lead-in so Futurama gets the maximum number of eyes on it and the show can just keep going and I get a Zoidberg head filled with DVDs to put next to my Bender bust.

I guess Sarah Silverman Program would work as a good lead in, too, sandwiched between South Park and Daily Show would work best, though. Maybe get some more animated series and turn Wednesdays into a cartoon rock block like Fox has on Sundays.
