Break Out The Slurm! 26 New FUTURAMA Episodes Coming!! Merrick here, peeking from beneath tattered burlap with a totally fantastic bit of news... Supercool Voice Articulist (I don’t think 'articulist' is actually a word) Billy West says Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's FUTURAMA will be returning to television in the form of 26 new episodes. If memory serves, recently announce plans called for the production of 4 straight-to-DVD, feature length installments. Not sure where those plans went, or why the gravitation back to TV is happening instead, but I'll eagerly embrace, fondle, and moistly caress any FUTURAMA I can get. The original post, from Billy himself, can be found at his website HERE. But, here's the essence of his message: I'm thisclose to selling my show Amateur Human Being,'' And the other good news is that they're doing 26 new episodes of ''Futurama'' for TV and we're hammering out the deal now.The original plan was to have the DVD's first but that's no longer the case.I'm totaly jammed dude. Greetings from the year 3000! It still sucks! Billy Wonder where these episodes will be shown? Hopefully on Cartoon Network...where they stand a chance of being aired regualrly and actually seen by viewers. Of course, failing to air a series regularly and reliably could never impact that show finding an audience...could it, Fox? http://aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=22782
I wouldn't mind seeing different episodes of Futurama on Adult Swim. I'm kind of tired of seeing the same episodes over and over.
Sorry to disapoint, but Billy spoke too soon: "Guys, I'm sorry I gave inaccurate info on the cartoon.I was told on one end that the TV show was a go but DXC enlightened me (with a hammer) that this was not the case.I think there is a Futurama project as in DVD's but I appearently had bad info.But I do live to give good Futurama news to people.So I must've died or something. All eyes on the skies, Billy"
