NEW Futurama episodes. No, really. It's not just Billy West making stuff up this time
http://www.tvweek.com/news.cms?newsId=10248

Three years after Fox canceled the show, Matt Groening's "Futurama" will resume production for a 13-episode run on Comedy Central. The new episodes will be added to the network's library of 72 "Futurama" episodes previously licensed from 20th Century Fox Television. Voice talent Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio will return for the new episodes, which will debut in 2008.

"There is a deep and passionate fan base for this intelligent and very funny show that matches perfectly with our audience and it is great that we can offer them not just the existing library, but something they've never seen as well," said David Bernath, senior VP, programming, Comedy Central.

"Futurama" marks the third Fox project revived by basic cable in recent years. New episodes of "Greg the Bunny" are being ordered by IFC, and Fox resurrected "Family Guy" after the series found success on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

I never got into Futurama. I tried, at first it was pretty good, but then I guess a couple weeks for not so funny episodes and I never tuned back in.

Impeccable timing with the announcement, as I've just bought all 4 volumes on DVD roughly a week ago. I love Futurama so much, I don't know if I can wait until 2008.

I too wasn't fussed about it, but as I've grown older and watched episodes, I realise how smart it actually is.

Still, Family Guy takes some beating.

I stopped reading after like the second sentence. You say Futurama is weak because it you can't relate to the characters... then you say FAMILY GUY of all shows is better? Please, you are fucking awful. Go get AIDS.

I didn't say Futurama was better than Family Guy (although it by far certainly is; I didn't say that in my other post though), I was saying that you calling Family Guy better because of its character development is retarded because Futurama's characters have way more depth than Family Guy's.


The entire FG family is just there as props for jokes, there's like no reason at all to care if Meg or Chris will even appear in the next episode whatsoever. That's kind of true with say, Hermes and Amy too, but when they're on they at least have a personality. They're not simply there to be the butt of some joke showing how stupid they are. Zoidberg is though. But he is sexilicious so it's okay.

Yeah, Family Guy is essentially sketch comedy done with a very loose sense of plot and development.

Regardless of which is better, Futurama wins on character development in a no-show.

I disagree but I will fight to the death to defend your right to say such garbage.

Family Guy makes me laugh. But it is in no way more intelligent than Futurama. Or Simpsons for that matter. Or South Park, who rightfully handed their ass to them with real plot-driven jokes. Family Guy's like the Wayans Brothers, they can be funny, but let's not compare them to real comedians.

I wouldn't go that far.

Family Guy isn't as cohesive as other shows, but it's great bit-comedy. Most of the time. Though the jokes aren't necessarily intelligent, just nerdier.

The Wayans (Barring Keenan and Damon) are bad comedians who occasionaly get some yucks.

Family Guy is a 30 minute cartoon that keeps me laughing for 25 of those minutes. I really can't say that for Simpsons, South Park, or even Futurama. If I want to sit down and watch a series with characters I truly love, those 3 aforementioned shows are just fine. But for a good laugh, Family Guy is where it's at.

Family Guy was ok but when they bought it back after it was canned, and constantly used the flash back gag, it just wasnt that funny any more.
