Well, for those who were saddened by the cancellation of Futurama should stop being saddened now. Anyone in the know already has been waiting for the new direct-to-video full-lenght features of Futurama. the first one is to be titled Futurama: Bender's Big Score. Here's the trailer for it...

The full-length movies will also be shown on TV, cut into episodes. If I remember correctly then there are four movies in total, which means 16 episodes. |

It looks amusing. I'm still a bit worried that it will suck, though. I'm happy that they got all the old cast members back together-- however, I can't help but be a little worried. I'll definitely be getting this the first day that it comes out. Hypno-frog demands it. _________________

KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHN!
(or however it is spelt!)
I am excited to say the least. I thought the script for Futurama was far superior to the later episodes of The Simpsons, so I'm not worried about the writing. _________________

I think unlike the return of [b]Family Guy the new Futurama won't have to rely too much on pop culture references. After awhile those inane references Peter Griffin always mention got old and unfunny. Plus, new Bender and Nibbler are always good news to me. _________________

Looks like crap. I miss Futurama, but not enough to warrant a really crappy series of wannabe movies. I fail to see the appeal of crappy simpson's writing with Fry painted on the box. _________________

Yeah, to be honest, it didnt look all that good from the trailer. I didn't even smile. I'm hoping they just used the shittier parts that actually have something to do with the plot as opposed to the funny parts with no significance - which is a mistake in itself. _________________

Hmm. I could have sworn I heard that Cartoon Network picked up the show for a few new seasons. So basically they are just making a few lengthy movies and cutting them up and putting them on their network? That is rather disappointing. I was hoping for a few more seasons of one of my favorite shows of all time.
This kind of sucks. :( _________________ Kooluk's Resident Drunkard.

They're doing the movies AND Cartoon Network picked up a few new seasons of the show. This is my understanding. The possibility I'm wrong is out there, but I usually remember things like this.
Edit: Meant to say Comedy Central, not Cartoon Network... :P

Actually Cartoon Network lost the rights to Futurama. I can't remember the cut off date but soon they won't be allowed to air the show at all anymore.
After the four movies are out they will be cut into a new season (With added stuff) and shown on Comedy Central who paid apparently the largest sum ever to obtain the rights to the re-runs + new movies. _________________
