Holy fucking damn. I never hoped such a pop culture present would ever be possible. Now if other stations follow suit on this ressurection of awesome TV shows trend, the world may truly blossom into a nirvana never before seen. It’d be like Quantum Leap. Other networks would leap in, putting right what the Fox network made wrong. Only, for TV.
The quirky animated show from “Simpsons” creator Matt Groening was canceled by Fox about two years ago, but will return with at least 13 new episodes on Comedy Central by 2008.
This is only the second time in television history that a show sent to TV’s trash heap has been resurrected. Curiously, the first was “Family Guy,” also an animated Fox show.
The tale of “Futurama’s” dramatic revival roughly follows that same path that “Family Guy” did.
I know there have been previous misguided rumors and such, but I’m crossing my fingers on this one. I wonder if {Adult Swim} would get the rights to air the new episodes like the deal they have with Family Guy. But I’m getting ahead of myself.
UPDATE: More reports claim there’s truth to the Futur announcement. Though I’m sad to see that Futurama will leave The Swim in 2008, the world will seem a little lighter when the new eps start playing.
