    Futurama Coming Back?

    Don't have a link(didn't look, there probably is one somewhere), but I saw on the bottom of E! that FOX is in talks about bringing Futurama back with new episodes. This would be huge news, it is a rare, rare, rare show that captures emotions but still remains funny. Not too many shows, cartoon or not, come close to maintaining it's level of humor while mixing in some truly "sweet"/heartfelt moments. Just watch the bee episode or the opera one(among many others) to see what I mean.

    I have to admit I wasn't a big fan during it's first run, but the Adult Swin reruns really got me hooked. The humor isn't as obvious as Family Guy(not as over the top funny either), but it is there.

    Anyone else heard anything about the possibility of this show coming back? Anybody else care?

    Good god, let's hope not. If a brilliant show like Family Guy comes back with two seasons of entirely sub-par episodes, I would hate to see what happens with a horrible show like Futurama.

      I love Futurama and I'd like to see it get another chance. I know for a fact they are working on two direct to DVD movies but I haven't heard anything about the actual show returning to television with an all new season. Here's hoping.

        Your expectations for family guy (like the other hardcare FG fans) we're too high...I didn't really care if it came back, so I'm enjoying the laughs.

          If I went any bigger, it would not have properly fit with my equipment, so I had to optimize. I'm okay with it, but I also know what I'm missing with those five inches. :)

            I thought FutureRama was brutal.

              Actually, they weren't. I fully expected the shows to be bland upon return. And even with setting my hopes that low I am still letdown by them.

                I agree about expectations being too high. I love Family Guy just as much as the next guy, but it's not like it's a brilliant show. The humor is pretty low-brow and that will only take you so far. In watching the new season on television, I was a bit underwhelmed but I think I expected to be roaring with laughter every second of the show. I now own their latest DVD box set and in watching the episodes again I'm enjoying them a lot more because the expectations are not there. Though I will say they rely too much on old gags they found success with in previous seasons (I'm sick to death of the stupid Vaudville guys and I hope they never return).

                          Me neither. Futurama is one of my favorite shows.

                            Futurama was never "ha ha" funny but the show is one of those that generate the laughs through characterization rather then the typical "funny situation, joke/punchline" set up.

                            Bender is one of my fave animated characters of all time. I really hope this happens as I still watch the repeats on Teletoon here in Canada.
