Holy Bender Bending Rodríguez!

Six years after getting axed by Fox, Futurama is being resurrected on Comedy Central.

A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox Television confirms that the cable net has ordered 26 new episodes of Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's late, great animated series to air beginning in 2010. The studio cites Futurama's "blockbuster" performance on DVD and in reruns on Comedy Central as the reason for its rebirth.

Hmmm... sound familiar?

"When we brought back Family Guy several years ago, everyone said that it was a once in a lifetime thing -- that canceled series stay canceled and cannot be revived," 20th Century Fox TV Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden said in a joint statement. "But Futurama was another series that fans simply demanded we bring back, and we couldn’t have been happier when Matt and David agreed that there were many more stories yet to tell."

Adds Groening: "We’re thrilled Futurama is coming back. We now have only 25,766 episodes to make before we catch up with Bender and Fry in the year 3000."

I understand this.

Back in '03 Adult swim started replaying Family Guy and Futurama. Both of which were popular enough to climb back out from late night re-runs.

a joint statement? :lol:

but in all seriousness, yes i heard about this a few years back actually. cant wait! 8-):mrgreen:

yeah, don't know who is asking what. both shows are hilarious and are part of my nightly entertainment.

Eh...not a fan of Futurama. I used to be, but Family Guy really has just taken over for me. I was kinda happy when AS stopped showing it and it moved to Comm Central.

hahaha i love this show i watch it every chance i get
