I loved that show. Looks like a movie is in the works for it. Probably straight to DVD like the Family Guy movie was.

Also Comedy Central will start airing the reruns of it in 2008,supposedly during prime time, when Cartoon Networks contract ends.

LOL. It ran for like 5 seasons, 99-03 I think on Fox. It was created by Matt Groening, the guy who made the Simpsons. I think it ranks right up there with Family Guy.



QUOTEFuturama, set in the next millennium, follows the exploits of Fry, a pizza delivery boy who was cryogenically frozen by accident for 1,000 years; Leela, a female cyclops; Bender, an immoral robot, and others as they work for an intergalactic delivery service owned by Fry's great, great, great... nephew, Professor Farnsworth.

Futurama has also spawned a highly successful comic series, Futurama Comics which will be going into its fourth year this January. They have fifteen issues out in stores, with a new one coming out soon. They also have a two-part comic special titled \"Futurama/Simpsons Infinitely Secret Crossover Crisis\" which is a crossover between Futurama and Matt Groening's other creation, The Simpsons. Both parts are out in bookstores.

Groening says he's lobbying FOX all the time to bring it back. It had a big viewership, but FOX killed it the usual way by changing the time slot all the time
