Back to the future


From ifitsmovies, "Hey everyone, Ryan here with some real cool news about the future of FUTURAMA. Apparently, the Fox network has given Matt Groening the rights to do four straight to DVD movies for the FUTURAMA series, even after they cancelled the show a few years ago.

“I was frustrated when it got cancelled, but Fox, 20th Television is the one who came back and said, ‘Would you like to do a DVD movie?’” Groening recalled. We said, ‘Let’s do two’ and they said, ‘Well, why not three?’ and we said, ‘Well, why not four?’ and they said, ‘Okay, four’ and then that’s it.”

FUTURAMA, the TV series, has been picked up for more episodes, but not by Fox. Comedy Central will be airing new FUTURAMA episodes after the straight to DVD movies have been released. Expect many of these episodes to push the limits and be much more extreme because these new episodes will be appearing on Comedy Central."

Rock! Rockity rock rock.

I really resisted this series at first because its character development and general tone never really touched that of The Simpsons. But Adult Swim showed me the light, as it has for many.
