Futurama: BACK LIKE A HABIT

Here's some good news for Futurama fans. In a deal with Comedy Central, new episodes of the series are set to begin production and start airing in 2008:

Comedy Central has resurrected the former Fox animated series from "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening and David X. Cohen. At least 13 new episodes will be produced for the first time since the series originally ran from 1999-2003. New and old episodes will begin airing in 2008 on Comedy Central. Actors Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio have agreed to return as voices for "Futurama."

Best of all about the renewal is that it spawned an inspired new idea from Seth MacFarlane: Future Guy! It's like Futurama, but everyone's stockier, there's a talking dog, and people make snide comments like this about it to get into arguments about which is funnier.

Woo. The only animated show with new episodes that I still bother to watch is King Of The Hill. So this is excellent.

So very happy about this. I mean, I'm the geek who has a Futurama quote in his MySpace profile.

Actually, I'm pretty sure I'm not alone on that...

Nah, everybody on myspace is a geek.

Music message boards are so much cooler!

Which is why I somehow continue posting here. For the COOL FACTOR.

I hope this actually happens; it seems like this gets thrown out every six months and is then retracted.

"What if the secret ingredient is... people!?"
"There's already a soda like that. Soylent Cola."
"Oh, how is it?"
"It varies from person to person."

You guys just don't get jokes. Spix to board.

Blindingly true. It's kind of sad that Futurama got snuffed in its prime, while the Simpsons was allowed to continue it's awful downward freefall.

Seriously. I didn't think there was anyone who didn't like Futurama. But this thread actually uncovered two.

The cast is just so great that it's near impossible to choose a favorite. Some days it'll be Zoidberg, some the Professor, and even sometimes Bender or Zap Brannigan.
