they better bring that shit back or i'll

1/9/2006 4:18:18 AM

what i'm worried about is that some of the voices won't return

i mean, what if they bring back married with children? then what would katie segal choose?

^ didn't Katey Segal do 8 simple rules and futurama simultaneously for 2 years?

1/9/2006 8:15:38 AM

yeah, doing voice over for one character on a weekly show isn't exactly a full-time job

1/9/2006 8:46:06 AM

They only do voices once a year and the rest of the time is spent animating the series. Each episode takes something like 6 months to complete so they have several animation teams working simultaneously trying to get everything done and synced before the deadlines. All of the voice-work is done prior to the animation.

from the billywest.com forums:

HERE'S GREAT NEWS!

is a done deal! Here's the word from DX---

August.Full feature length FUTURAMA movies.
Everybody is excited to get back together--as I am!

1/23/2006 1:31:37 AM

I can't believe you didn't start your post with, "Good news, everyone!"

[Edited on January 23, 2006 at 1:32 AM. Reason : ^ GTFO, Futurama is a million times better...hellooooo characters]

1/23/2006 1:31:47 AM

omf this is the best news since 1971

1/23/2006 1:33:31 AM

Kick ass!!!

If the DVDs sell well hopefully they will bring back the show.

That might be wishful thinking but at least there will be some new Futurama!

dvd sales my ass

im tired of seeing adult swim overlooked as the catalyst in both of these resurgences.

they dug these shows out of fox's dumpster and have been pushing them for at least 7 years now, and then fox goes and takes all the credit.

1/23/2006 10:48:23 AM

I happened to run across this

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0471711/

is that referring to the return of the tv show or what?

2/15/2006 1:50:13 AM

^[adult swim] has been running bumpers stating that Billy West told them that the voice talent got together and recorded for four Futurama movies, not sure if they are straight-to-DVD or to air on TV anywhere.

2/15/2006 8:23:18 AM

kick ass

2/15/2006 8:28:43 AM

3/19/2006 6:28:19 PM

Greatest news ever....as happy as I was after Family Guy was revived, this makes me estactic...out of all of the animated shows FOX has given us, Futurama is truly the best of all of them.

From Billy Wests website, where Slashdot originally got the info on the new episodes:

"rb2006--- I'm getting different bits of info that say this news may not be the case.There IS something up Futurama project wise but but it might be the DVD's still.It's hard to keep up with things--but I'll try to do better. Sorry, Billy "

Mighta just been a little fuckup on his part got the entire internet excited on a Sunday. Well still hope it turns out like he said.

3/19/2006 9:25:59 PM

Hopefully it is still on - but maybe Fox didn't want to leak the news that way.

Who knows - I hope we will still get the show back.

DAMNIT!

No series ... just the 4 movies.

I mean I am happy that we at least get the movies but I wanted Futurama back.

3/20/2006 10:35:42 AM

it's no fair

3/20/2006 8:06:23 PM

i always liked how they mixed normal animation with CG scenes. the coolest was when Bender's head was on the RC car and was driving around. you never see The Simpsons do that shit.

3/21/2006 1:51:30 PM

Family Guy does it some, but not nearly as well as Futurama
