Comedy Central Revives 'Futurama'

Latest Fox Project to Reappear on Cable
By James Hibberd
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.

F@#$ YEAH! I love FUTURAMA! It's one of my all time favourate cartoon comedies along with Family Guy, American Dad and the Simpsons (I don't really like South Park anymore).

Nah, that's a fair call. I think you'll find a lot of people will agree with you on that... me being one.

Nobody beats Zoidberg. The new episodes HAVE to have more of Dr. Zoidberg.

 

[Ripper]

"I'm not saying Professor Farnsworth is old, but if you consider his age, he's likely to die soon."

Probably Zoidbergs best quote. I also like that one where they crash in Roswell, and the scienctists in Area 51 are cutting him up on the table, and when they start cutting his throat area he says "Hey, I need that to speak", the Two scientists look at each, then start cutting faster.

haha i love when they make fun of zoidberg like he isn't even there

zoidberg crying "that pig has the same sandals as me!"

haha
