It's now official Comedy Central picked up Futurama for 26 new episodes.

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

26? Awesome!

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Awwww hell yeah!

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

It's amazing Fox couldn't make this work, but the show has been extremely successful since cancellation.

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Fantastic!

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Wow. I was happy about them supposedly ordering 13, but 26 is just amazing. Glad to see it come back.

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

probably realized they could make a mint by not only showing it on the channel, but selling the dvds.

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

And I have no idea why it takes people so long to figure this out!

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

A return *AND* not on FOX?

The best gift ever.

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Cool. :thumbsup:

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Can't wait for the season set in eco-packaging. :sad:

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

I didn't even think about possible DVD packaging. This isn't going to be be good. :eek:

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Yay!

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Super-cool. I missed Futurama the first time around, and loved it on dvd.

This actually makes my nipples kinda hard.

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

I think the movies failed a bit by trying to do too large a story. Futurama excels with the 22 minute episode. I suspect these episodes will be better than the movies.

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

"Bad news, everyone!"

According to reports, Fox is foolishly looking at recasting voice actors to cut costs.

Needless to say, if they pull this, I'm out...


(EDIT: Upon further review, though, this smells like it could be a hoax)

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Maybe they are trying to get the voice talent down in price?

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

I thought it was a Comedy Central show now? Fox is still involved?

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Probably. They've tried this with The Simpsons cast as well. It backfired.

It's supposed to air on Comedy Central, but 20th Century Fox still owns and produces it.

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

Maybe it's a co-production thing. Fox produces it but Comedy Central gets rights to air it. I'd imagine that's the case, so that Comedy Central doesn't have to front the cash for the episodes.

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

20th Century Fox still owns and produces the series. I believe I read that they have the option to air it elsewhere (including on Fox), if they wish, and then Comedy Central gets it. In any case, the recasting story's getting picked up by other media outlets. If this happens, this show is DOA. I will never watch the new episodes if the actors are replaced, and will discourage everyone I know from watching as well. Fuck them.

Re: Comedy Central orders 13 episodes of Futurama
 

That would be moronic, and I wouldn't watch. But at the same time, it would be an interesting turnaround for Billy West, who took over voicing Stimpy from John K.

But that small bit of irony (Bender: That's not ironic) couldn't overpower my grief for losing the voice cast.

I wouldn't think Matt Groening would allow it.
