Futurama Rumored To Return On Comedy Central 259

Posted by kdawson on Tuesday June 09, 2009 @05:26AM from the good-news-everyone dept.

avajcovec points out a brief note on Collider.com that Comedy Central has ordered 13 new episodes of Futurama. Quoting: "Though still technically a rumor at this point, word is that 'Futurama' production offices have already opened and that casting is about to move forward. This should be a welcome surprise to fans of the show who have already gone through the series' cancellation and resurrection as direct-to-DVD movies."

How many years has it been? By now, all the actors will be older and they won't look the part. It will be worse than Harry Potter or Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey.

Amy could probably be replaced and the rastafarian guy, but most of the others cannot
But don't replace Amy's voice with Hermes', because that would be weird.

Add some Futurma ascii to your cowsay folder and this to your bash aliases:
function futurama() { wee=$(curl -Is slashdot.org | egrep '^X-(F|B|L)' | sed 's/^..//'); if [[ $wee = "Fry"* ]]; then cowsay -f fry $(echo $wee | sed 's/^Fry: //'); fi; if [[ $wee = "Ben"* ]]; then cowsay -f bender $(echo $wee | sed 's/^Bender: //'); fi; if [[ $wee = "Lee"* ]]; then cowsay -f leela $(echo $wee | sed 's/^Leela: //'); fi; }
