Futurama May Strike Back (on DVD)

Nik writes "Hot on the heels of Family Guy's revival, Can't Get Enough Futurama is reporting that 'there is renewed talk at FOX about bringing fresh Futurama content directly to DVD.' While nothing is confirmed at this point, it is apparently the first time that a division of Fox has considered producing new episodes of the animated sci-fi series in some time."

If they bring this back..

.. the Simpsons can kiss my shiny metal ass.

Good news everyone!

[koinu]

This is my favorite series.

Re:Sci-fi series?

[forkazoo]

I'd assume the "sci fi" misconception stems from the fact that it takes place in the future, and there are space ships and aliens, and they travel to different planets, and a robot is a main character. It amazes me the number of people who don't realise that it is a historical medical drama. Really just a Dr. Quinn rip off.

Fry: You got that off the internet? In my day we only used the internet for pornography.

Professor: Oh, that's still true.

Hermes: Behold the internet!

Fry: My God! It's full of ads!

But the number of people who loved "Firefly" is greater than those who loved "Everybody Loves Raymond", so it sold more DVDs.

But I thought everybody loved Raymond?

(I can't believe nobody took that one before me!)

Cartoon Network said ti best when they called it an "Action Cartoon Sci-Fi Comedy Drama that redefines Action Cartoon Sci-Fi Comedy Dramas".

BITE. BITE. BITE MY SHINY METAL ASS. It was the first thing Bender said in the series. Variations include "glorious golden ass" and "splintery wooden ass". He said it at least a dozen times. It was his catchphrase. I don't know how you could forget it.

if its like the last several seasons of simpsons..

[arazor]

If its like the last several seasons of the simpsons then I am not interested. Matt Groening in his Life In Hell comic strip during the 2004 US presidential election cycle made some sort of promise that it would be just anti-bush only. I took that to mean just the life in hell comic strip but it turned out to be in the Simpsons. I applaud him for making good on his word (even though I am obviously on the other side of the political spectrum).

If Matt Groening takes that kind of work to Futurama I would rather go without new episodes of Futurama.

The last Simpsons episode I found funny was Tree House of Horror 12.

Carl: You know, I was hexed by a troll and a leprechaun cured that right up.
Lenny: Hey you know what's even better is Jesus. He's like.. 6 leprechauns!
Carl: Yeah, but a lot harder to catch. Go with the leprechaun.

Drawing a blank

[Scrameustache]

Who are the pricks who modded me -1 Troll? Asking for a torrent was obviously a joke. Christ on a cracker, go fuck yourselves, you humorless right wing son of a bitch bloggers.

I can't possibly imagine why anyone would mod you down for trolling.

Huh? Red hot glowing ass!?

The Hypnotoad says......

[Beechmere]

(.....Bring back Futurama.....)

Annoyingly hypnotic buzzing sound convinces all that this is wise.

the only problem is...

[sootman]

...when I go to buy it, will there be a bunch of football videos on the shelf where Futurama should be?
