Posted March 19, 2006 Straight from the voice actor Billy West himself (who plays Fry), 26 new episodes are going into production! These will air on TV, they aren't going straight to DVD as previously planned. Link to his message board: http://www.billywest.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=2011&PN=1 This link will probably go down very fast, it was posted on Slashdot.

Posted March 19, 2006 Good good. Didn't someone from the show also say something about a Futurama movie, aswell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 Great news! I didn't really like season 4 that much, but hopefully this break will have given the writers a bit of time to get some really good stories and gags for season five. Cant wait! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 Great news. Let's hope its as good as the first installments of Futurama. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 ... Got nothing much to say on Futurama. Wasn't that into it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 Well when it does return, remind me not to watch it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 Yes oh god yes! This is fantastic, can't wait, but wasn't there news of 4 movies aswell a while ago, confirmed by Billy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 Good point Retro, I wonder if they decided to scrap them and go with a new season? Hmm.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 Hmmmm, I'm not so sure about this. Futurama was great, but I felt it went out on a high and I was looking forward to see what Groening would do next. Still, I'm not expecting the quality of the show to disapate anytime soon. I hope they do an hour-long "wedding episode" or something - they seemed quite intrested in doing that on the directors commentary in season 4. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 Maybe that'll be one of the movies if they still do it, Fry and Leela's wedding. But the show would change so much if they did get married, maybe it could show Parallel Fry and Leela's wedding (from The Farnsworth Parabox) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 I've never really got into Futurama tbh. I've watched a couple of episodes here and there but never actually like it alot. Simpsons all the way baby... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 Although Simpsons is far superior, (imo) well at least Seasons 4-12 anyway, I'm more than pleased that futurama will return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But the show would change so much if they did get married, maybe it could show Parallel Fry and Leela's wedding (from The Farnsworth Parabox) They can't just stick so rigidly with the same format though. because a) it would start to become stale and b) it wouldn't make any sense in terms of character development. I mean, c'mon, Leela finally fell for Fry properly at the end of season 4. Lets face it, it was going to happen eventually. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 Futurama did animation brilliantly. Comedy and drama all meshed into one clever idea. I personally think it to be one of the most original concept animated shows of recent years and welcome it's return. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!! Best news I have heard in a while. Hopefully Zap Brannigan will feature in the new episodes as that guy is hilarious. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 19, 2006 The Standard of Simpsons today is embarassing, frankly. Whereas 'classic' Simpsons (quite a sizable chunk you'll find!), Family Guy and Futurama are the holy trinity of hilarious animation. I mean will Zoidberg's 'woop woop's' ever get stale? Don't answer that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 20, 2006 It's actually not a new set of 26 episodes. Billy West was wrong when he posted and he's now put it right. It's a couple of movies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
