futurama is an amazing show. This is interesting news.

that source doesnt seem to be....something i would bet on.

So its kind of like that family guy DVD...of which i still have not seen. I buy games, not DVDs.

Man this is hard to do after thunderobot's post, but that's lookin to be false, or at least "unconfirmed."

Dammit Billy West!

It's TOO grumpy!

Well, I know I've been reading about a possible return for Futurama for some time, usually in DTV release. I think there's still hope though, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I find it too "Sneezy" myself. ;)

I won't be heartbroken if the deal falls through, it's not one of my favorite shows, just a little too over the top for me.

Pat Hacker, Visit Scooter's World.

Futurama? over the top? nah.

They play more with language and basic conceptions more than anything else it seems. All within the whole "mocking the present in the future" thing.

mmm, hilarity.

I'm for more prime-time animated shows, whether I personally enjoy them or not.
I believe that there should be animation for everybody, not just for me.

I wanted Futurama to be more scifi-based and less sitcom-based, but occasionally they had a cool concept.
There was the episode where a microscopic civilization grew on Bender's chest as he floated through space.
There was the one with the alternate universes that were kept in cardboard boxes. That would have made a good movie.
The episode on the Robot planet was kind of fun.
There's the one where Fry gets alien parasites that renovate his body.

Musical numbers do not work in Futurama. It's difficult enough to suspend disbelief with all those goofy technologies (the smelloscope) and poor continuity, without Hermes singing for 3 minutes about how he loves filing forms.
Please, enough with the celebrities guest-starring as bodiless versions of themselves. That stuff puts me right to sleep.

Look at that...

Maybe I'll get fifteen more minutes... :D

aw come on... the "I am bender, please insert girder" made the whole song worth it :p

It is not a series but 4 movies is just a good. :)

Absolutely. While in New Zealand they replayed the series all the time. I had forgotten (or hadn't noticed) how great they were. I'd even go so far to say that for anyone entrenched in pop culture (or even mildly aware of it) that they're funnier than the Simpsons.

In any event, this is much better news than Disney buying out Pixar.

Producing solidily ok animation since 2001.

So Thunderobot, you should tell us how you really feel. :D

new season of Futurama on the way

[I]poster: On Sirius radio this week, Howard Stern said that he has asked Billy to do a 1 hour show, doing his old Jackie the Jokeman puppet voice. (I hope Billy does it, but I hope he does all of his voices, and I would guess the show will need to be longer than an hour). They also have some old clips on Howardtv indemand channel doing the jackie puppet. When Billy was on Howard he was so damm funny. Billy West is one of the funniest guys out there. He comes up with stuff off the top of his head so quickly and right on point. And his voices are the best. But I guess I'm preaching to choir on this site. Glad I found this board. Please, please Billy work out your differences and do some shows with Howard on Sirius. You were so great on the show in the 90's. You will love it over at Sirius. You are the best !!!!!

billy: Thanks for your post! I hope you realize that this is your last--- naw,just kidding! I'm glad that you got to see that stuff and you laughed.
I've talked extensively about this subject.Here's a little of the story.

All the stuff you see or hear from when I was on-- ended 11 plus years ago.Some of the audio replays are from 16 years ago.I got out when I was at the peak of my radio career. You rarely get a second chance to go out on top like that. I was all done with it in 1995. I started in Boston in 1981. That's 25 years ago. I'm a radically different guy than I was then. But
it's so pissa' to see this ''internet arguement'' continue until people's fingers fall off. I'm just tending my garden and when a few A-holes attack me over this stuff, I just give 'em the old ''digitus impunicus.''

I'm this close to selling my show--''Billy Bastard--Amateur Human Being,'' 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!

It's about time they bring Futurama back, whether it's in a few movies or a full season. It's the best cartoon in my opinion, much better than the Simpsons and Family Guy put together!

Neat! I'm among those who like Futurama better than the Simpsons. The latest episodes anyway.

I always have. Futurama to Simpsons for me is like M*A*S*H to...something worse =)

It is not a series but 4 movies is just a good. :)

I have no idea what I as trying to say here, sorry about that. :confused:

That's nice. Frankly, Futurama was a closed case to me but it will be neat to see it back. I'd also like Invader Zim back but Jhonen Vasquez hasn't expressed any interest whatsoever in continuing the show and I believe Nickelodeon would water it down Ren & Stimpy-style if left to their own devices.

The story I heard is that Vasquez was such a pain to work with (for everyone on the show) that the decision to not continue it came as a huge relief to everyone involved.

Yup.... thats the story I heard. Is that guy doing anything nowadays?

Got any details? Truth be told, not much he's done apart from Invader Zim appeals to me very much. Looks like artsy, smug-ish, "share-my-pain-with-the-world" Goth stuff to me. Not that I've bothered digging too deep!
