[moneoa]

Yes! Comedy Central have ordered two new seasons of Matt Groening’s hilarious ‘Futurama’ after solid rerun ratings and decent sales of the recent straight-to-DVD adventures.

Bender is back! “Futurama” creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen are working on the new series as we speak, with an estimated spring 2010 air date.

We have wonder-network “Comedy Central” to thank for the resurrection of this cult show. They were happy with the purchase of the rights to air the original episodes of the show, which performed decently, and feel that new episodes (26 in total, to start with) will not only reinvigorate the core fans of the show, but will also bring in new fans of the series.

The four feature-length original “Futurama” specials: “Bender’s Big Score,” “The Beast With a Billion Backs,” “Bender’s Game” and “Into the Wild Green Yonder,” have performed well on DVD and ratings-wise on Comedy Central.

Reuters also report that all of the original voice cast members are expected to return for the new episodes, along with the core writing team. The episodes are expected to continue on from the end of “Into the Wild Green Yonder”.

We will keep you updated with the latest news on the new episodes as it becomes available.

This is AWESOME! I can't help but feel I took part in the resurrection of the show by buying all the DVDs. Money talks, and it feels good.

Supporting Futurama with your money sure says ALOT in my book! I am a HUGE advocate for people supporting the things they like with their money as I have stated many times. I am not says YWD is a cheap bastard but many people are these days since they can get everything for free and these people will make any flimsy excuse as to why they do not pay for DVD's, video games and music. I don't really care for how the music industry is ran but video game companies do try to make happy customers and now days DVD's usually have little extras for incentives to encourage a purchase....so, if you are a fan and want more of these things you love stop being a cheap whore and BUY! Your local store owner will thank you too! :thanks:

if it's something i really want and really love i'll go out and buy it rather than suffer through a version with inferior quality.... plus i like all the easter eggs and extras, i'm such a geek.

I was kidding my friend. Its a long ongoing suck fest of mine. :dunce:

Movies were OK, but I'm soo glad the show is comming back. I can watch the episodes over and over, the movies, not so much, but they were worth the buy to hold me over!

Can't wait!

[Mels_Smileys45]

The last two movies seemed like the team was getting its legs back. It was a shaky start but they have the magic back now. I too am glad!
