Dobber Posted June 24, 2006 Author Share Posted June 24, 2006 Awesome!But what happened to those straight to dvd movies that were talked about? 410885[/snapback] I was wondering about that too. 13 episodes is great though, infact I think I prefer it, and WHEN they do well, we'll probably get more!!!!

Noyhauser Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Man, this is great, although nothing will top the election episode. Morbo: "Morbo will now introduce tonights candidates. Puny human number one, puny human number two and Morbo's good friend Richard Nixon." Nixon: "Hello Morbo. How's the family?" Morbo: "Belligerent and numerous." Nixon: "Good man, Nixon's pro-war and pro-family." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Best news since Family Guy re-spawned. I wonder if the 4 feature-length Futurama films are still happening or if they were just converted to these 13 episodes? Either way - pure awesomeness. And unlike Family Guy, I'm glad this show isn't going back to Fox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeszekely Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I don't know. I've been watching the Futurama DVD sets... just finished season 3. The earlier stuff was hilarious, but as I work my way through, I'm starting to see why it got canned. The newer stuff wasn't nearly as funny. (As opposed to Family Guy, which was funniest in its third season... when it got canned). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veritas Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 I don't know. I've been watching the Futurama DVD sets... just finished season 3. The earlier stuff was hilarious, but as I work my way through, I'm starting to see why it got canned. The newer stuff wasn't nearly as funny. (As opposed to Family Guy, which was funniest in its third season... when it got canned). 410946[/snapback] Actually i think Family Guy got canned in its second season before being picked up agani for more episodes due to its popularity on CN. Great News about Futurama though, i wonder when the new episodes will actually start airing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeszekely Posted June 24, 2006 Share Posted June 24, 2006 Third. First season was shorter, so when they went to DVD box sets, season 1 and 2 are volume one, and season 3 was volume two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LinxCrossq Posted June 25, 2006 Share Posted June 25, 2006 YAY!!! But I don't have Comedy Central. =( I guess it'll be shown later on CN and maybe FOX? Nah, Fox doesn't deserve Futurama! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JsARCLIGHT Posted June 26, 2006 Share Posted June 26, 2006 Strange how it's Comedy "We need another animated hit show, like, now" Central that is ordering up the new eps... I would have put money on Cartoon Network being first to the door with the money demanding new eps. After all, if it wasn't for renewed interest in the show thanks to CN there would most likely be no demand for new eps in the first place. I guess this is yet another case of CN showing the gods of broadcast TV that yet another jem they threw away is still worth something. I wonder how long until other CN "forgotten treasures" get remade... so... who has the rights to The Critic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dobber Posted June 26, 2006 Author Share Posted June 26, 2006 Here's an update. Apparently the 4 DVD movies are being broken down into 4 episodes each, for a total of 16 epsiodes. These movies are the new episodes. Full article is here: http://www.gotfuturama.com/ Not sure if that is a good thing or not....well good because it's more new futurama, but.....sort of a let down because I was hoping for renewal.....I guess if it does well it may be renewed.

Dobber Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 WOOOO HOOOOO!!!!!!! check it out!!! the first trailer for new Futurama! It's back BABY!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fj7mS_p49mM&feature=bz303 Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eriku Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Although I'm EXTREMELY overjoyed by this, I'm a bit confused. First it was going to be 4 movies, then I heard they were going to be broken up into episodes for television, but now it looks like there are 4 straight-to-DVD movies. Is it not coming back to television then? Are they doing both? Regardless, WOO-HOO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Rumor mill had it that it was going to be a "Stewie Griffin Story" treatment... DVDs for direct sale that would be broken into episodes and aired at a later date once they made their money. Either way who cares? NEW FUTURAMA.

Dobber Posted October 8, 2007 Author Share Posted October 8, 2007 (edited) Yup, 4 movies THEN they are going to be broken up and re-editied with new material to make them work as stand-alone epsiodes to be shown on Comedy Central. I guess/hope if all goes well, they may order more episodes after that!! "You know what's funny?"

eriku Posted October 8, 2007 Share Posted October 8, 2007 Wait wait wait...so the version of these movies that will be shown on Comedy Central are going to have stuff added to them?? Are they going to then release THOSE versions on DVD, like "Season 5" or something? I guess I'll just rent the DVDs and see what happens. Or buy them now and just sell them off later if the extended episodes are released. And again, WOO-FREAKIN'-HOO!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Oh I can't freakin' wait for this!. And if I recall, the new content for broadcast is just supposed to be previous episode recaps, but I'm not 100% on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bob joe mac Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 It was definitly top notch for those interested a good dvd rip can be found on nearly any torrent site mininova.org etc. or you can wait for the dvd in a day or two Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
