Matt Groening Talks About Futurama's Comeback 156

Posted by Zonk on Friday February 02, 2007 @06:46PM from the you-seem-malnourished-are-you-suffering-from-internal-parasites- dept.

Joel Keller writes "When I was at the Television Critics Association press tour earlier last month, I briefly talked to Matt Groening about Futurama's comeback. I posted the interview to TV Squad a couple of days ago. The man behind the Simpsons and Futurama talks about the latter's comeback, the fun of doing sci-fi in a comedy format, and a few words about the first episode to air on Comedy Central."

Yes I too enjoyed that episode of South Park. Kudos to your original commentary. We could all learn a thing or two from you.

We also have Rough Draft Studios animating once again,

But will the new episodes be painstakingly drawn before a live audience?

No sconeu, very few cartoons are broadcast live; it's a terrible strain on the animators' wrists.

One of my better drunk stories is when I barked that back at my friend's dad when he poked his head in to tell us to quiet down and to say good night. Friend's Dad: "Uhh, goodnight boys, keep it down" Me: "WINDMILLS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY! GOOD NIGHT!" I think he's still confused to this day.
