Oh, Futurama. Another one of Fox’s great mistakes. Back in the day, Fox cancelled the show a’la Family Guy, but then left the property out to hang. Comedy Central started airing episodes, people watched it in droves and now, it’s finally coming back – to Comedy Central. For a while, there was a little bit of doubt that all of the original cast members would be returning, but it’s all been worked out now and the gang’s all back for more (who wanted to hear James Lipton as Bender, anyways?).
My personal love of Futurama started a few years ago, with the repeats on Comedy Central. They were on so often that it became difficult to avoid them in any way, so I just went with it. I saw the humor that I missed back in 2000, and now I try to catch every episode I can to catch up. I haven’t bought everything on DVD yet, but I imagine I will soon enough.
Need more proof? These are my desktop drives:
Bender handles my DVD collection, while Zoidberg handles backup. No reason not to trust him, he’s a doctor after all.
Of course there’s more news. Comedy Central has released a teaser for the next season. Interested in checking it out? Well it’s right below this paragraph, go ahead and click on it. Don’t make me get the clamps.
