[ChRiSpY]

Wicked :D I heard they were considering coming back for another season. I'm glad they weren't just rumors :thumbsup:

[ksimp23]

Awesomness! I am so sick of The Simpsons now, Futurama is the much better show nowadays so this is great news:)

[Bottles98]

**** YES.

So happy about this.

[ChRiSpY]

Awesomness! I am so sick of The Simpsons now, Futurama is the much better show nowadays so this is great news:)

I agree. Don't get me wrong, I still love The Simpsons, but it's just not as funny as it used to be.

[Deebs]

That's pretty cool.

[Adam]

Sweat! Great choice of thread title BTW.

[wkw427]

****ING WINTASTIC!!!

I thought you were going to post

"Good news everybody!
You just said this in Farnsworth's voice, didn't you?"

[Oz the Gay and Powerful]

HELL YES MUTHER****ER.

[Porky]

I heard about this yesterday (why I didn't post a thread about it is beyond me...), either way, this is best TV based news I've heard since...Well, Futurama was brought back as 4 feature length episodes.

Huzzah's are in order.

[Shadow Angel]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Best news I've heard all day. :approve:

[gnargle]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

Rinse andrepeat. Now to wait 5 years for it to reach the UK :(

[ConkerKing]

Meh. ;0

[kfred]

Awesome.

[chillywilly42]

Yes! This totally made my day. :D

[Avarice]

Wait, is this brand new episodes, or just the movies split up?

[Porky]

^ Brand new episodes

[Pies]

This is great, I was getting sick of the movie episodes being repeated on tv 700 times just after I bought them on DVD :S

[Myriad]

YES!Awsome!

[Banjo64]

Bite my shiny metal ass, Fox.

[Mr. Pokeylope]

Yay, finally! :approve:

[Tediz Slayer]

THIS....IS.....WIN!

[Madous]

...You guys realize this is very old news, right? o-O Regardless, epic. If they don't have the original voice actors for Fry, Leela, and Bender, I may just cry though.

[StarFox]

...You guys realize this is very old news, right? o-O Regardless, epic. If they don't have the original voice actors for Fry, Leela, and Bender, I may just cry though.Why wouldn't they do it? Katey Segal and Billy West don't have careers at the moment. D:

[The Egg Hunter]

Oh Yess! I loved that show! Great news right their!

[Korra]

YAY :D

So excited now!

[R Hunter]

I always thought Matt's excuse that he "couldn't" do more than one show at a time was crap. Seth's got FG AND AD and he's going to do a third. Two is not only feasible, it HAS to be easier than three.

But there's a difference, Matt Groening is involved with both shows equally. Seth MacFarlane on the other hand is more involved with Family Guy than American Dad and is barely involved at all with the Cleveland Show apart form a couple of voice overs.

[Mandolin]

Aw, snap! Excellent news! :D

[Keegan]

What if they mess it up?

Anyway, I'm still HAPPY.

[HUMANZ]

I think I just had an orgasm

SPOILERS, FOR THOSE WHO HAVEN'T SEEN INTO THE WILD GREEN YONDER

I wonder what on earth they were thinking when they ended Into The Wild Green Yonder. I mean, that pretty much wrapped up the whole thing. Fry and Leela got together, they go through a wormhole to some undisclosed location, etc.

I'm not sure I'm looking forward to the new season. I mean, I'll be disappointed if they're not at Planet Express, and Fry and Leela are together and whatnot, but I'll be equally disappointed if they outright ignore the movie. It's the same thing with the last episode of the most recent season of The Big Bang Theory; Penny's expressed her love for Leonard, when the whole series and most of the comedy is derived from Leonard trying to get with her. If he's successful, which it looks like he will be, no more comedy.

As for them wrapping up the whole Futurama story in the end of Into The Wild Green Yonder... why? Why end it? Why not end The Simpsons, which - let's face it - nobody likes anymore. And now that Futurama's coming back, you have to either ignore the ending that's just been established or change the whole format of the show.

They had to, they didn't realise they were going to make more episodes when they made it, so they had to do a "final episode" for closures sake. The movies were a lot more popular then expected, so they brought it back because it'll make more money for them, regardless of plot or not.Besides the futurama guys are intelligent people, they'll find a way to turn it back to square one.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOo

Only takes about a week maximum now.
Treehouse of Horror XIX took literally a week to get to us.
Soon Sky 1 are gonna overtake USA,and have, on US comedies.

There we go. Besides, there's nothing wrong with picking up the series with Fry and Leela together. That'd put Futurama a notch above all the other series that worship the status quo; this could be a great chance for them to branch out further into relationship comedy. And the new season could also pick up with them coming back to Planet Express after their adventure in another universe or something.
