Futurama!!

[Matt]

I searched and searched, thought we had a thread for this. Feel free to merge if anyone knows where it is. :thumbsup:

Comedy Central is saying we have all new episodes premiering tonight.

[jayson]

new if you didn't get the Bender's Big Score DVD, because that is what they are showing tonight. it's one feature length movie, and if you love Futurama and haven't seen it, watch it, tonight. Not new to all of us, but VERY funny, and very tied in to other Futurama episodes.

[Daghain]

I got it on the DVR last night. New Futurama! Yay!!! :excited:

[Matt]

It was new to me and I thought it was funny as hell.

[jayson]

it is defintely funny. it's a little better without the commercials, but otherwise i have no complaints. i can't wait for the other 3 movies.

[LadyHitchhiker]

3 more movies?!?!?!? :excited: When?!?!?

[jayson]

next one comes out on DVD June 24, 2008

[LadyHitchhiker]

W00t! W00t!

[jayson]

it is very exciting. the prospect of new futurama is one of my favorite things to consider. of all of my fav shows that have been cancelled, it was the hardest to deal with. to have it back, especially in straight-to-dvd movie form is so very cool.

[LadyHitchhiker]

I miss it being on cartoon network quite badly

[Daghain]

Me too. :cry:

[LadyHitchhiker]

I would watch it every single night without fail... :(

[LadyHitchhiker]

It would be great if they did a sk kind of spoofy thing on Futurama since they did it with south park...

[jayson]

that's why i love dvd. any episode i want, any time i want. i do miss having a random episode i love come on, but then again, i love every episode of futurama. they didn't do enough to start making bad ones. when you take some of the best writers [david cohen, ken keeler, bill odenkirk] and artists [rich moore!!] from the simpsons' staff and have them create a new show, you get brilliance like futurama.

futurama rules!!! [in case nobody could tell from my av/sig that i love the show]. :lol:

[LadyHitchhiker]

My alltime favorite episodes are the one with the universal boxes (universe a and 2), and the one about Star Trek...

[Daghain]

I used to put it on in the bedroom and fall asleep to it - I'd seen them so many times I could just listen to the dialog and see the whole thing in my head. :)

[LadyHitchhiker]

I've watched them with closed-captioning so much and without that when I turn the sound down and watch the words I can hear their voices in my head...

[jayson]

My alltime favorite episodes are the one with the universal boxes (universe a and 2), and the one about Star Trek...

both of those are great liz! the trek cast is so funny, especially walter koenig.

i also love the ones with the Nibblonians and the Brains. i lovethe one with Leela going to Planet Eternium, and ESPECIALLY the one with Fry going with Nibbler ["The Why of Fry" it's my favorite of them all]. also the ones with Dan Castellaneta as the Robot Devil and anything with the Harlem Globetrotters.

[LadyHitchhiker]

I thought Fry rearranging the stars for Leela was one of the most romantic things ever.

[Daghain]

I love the Robot Devil! Especially when he does the whole devil went down to Georgia thing with Fry! :lol: That song kicks ass!

[jayson]

I love the Robot Devil! Especially when he does the whole devil went down to Georgia thing with Fry! :lol: That song kicks ass!

especially bc Castellaneta, Billy West and Katey Seagal are all such great singers. the whole thing is hilarious.

[LadyHitchhiker]

They should have more musicals

[Daghain]

They should. That one with the devil is my all-time favorite, though.

[LadyHitchhiker]

That kicked ass!!!

I'm jonesing for more Futurama!!!!!1

[Girlystevedave]

I can't remember the exact quote, but it went something like this:

Fry: Look it's Uranus!
Professor: Oh, they changed the name a long time ago because of all the jokes.
Fry: What did they change it to?
Professor: Urectum

**Priceless!!

[jayson]

**Priceless!!

definitely. i like jokes about changes to the language over the 1,000 yrs Fry was frozen like that one, or the one about officially changing "ask" to "axe"

[Girlystevedave]

:rofl:

[LadyHitchhiker]

When are the new movies coming out?

[Woofer]

"Sweet zombie Jesus!"

[LadyHitchhiker]

sweet lemming from fleming!!!

[jayson]

When are the new movies coming out?

Liz, the next one is scheduled to be released on DVD June 24th of this year. I've yet to see release dates for the other two.

[LadyHitchhiker]

:excited:
:wub:

Thank you!!!!!!!

[jayson]

No prob! I can't wait to see it. The prospect of new Futurama is so exciting!

[LadyHitchhiker]

Now is it going straight to dvd or going to comedy central first?

[jayson]

i would imagine it will be released like the first one {Bender's Big Score} on DVD first, and later be aired on Comedy Central.

[LadyHitchhiker]

That's still cool. I'm still excited. The last dvd was really good! It realyl made you think !

[Shamey]

They're all being released on DVD first. Which is awesome because watching Futurama on Comedy Central isn't the same as when it was on Adult Swim. Maybe it's the bumps I miss, but it's just weird.

[Mark]

Anyone know if "Benders big score" is available in Britain? On the simpsons movie, just before the movie when all the adverts (commercials) are playing it mentions it, but doesn't mention a date or anything...

[LadyHitchhiker]

They're all being released on DVD first. Which is awesome because watching Futurama on Comedy Central isn't the same as when it was on Adult Swim. Maybe it's the bumps I miss, but it's just weird.

I totally agree!!!!!! :D

[jayson]

Just a reminder, the newest Futurama movie came out this past Tuesday, and it is HILARIOUS. Stop reading this and go buy it now. Don't wait for Comedy Central to air with commercials as if it were four separate episodes. Buy the DVD today!

[jayson]

The fourth Futurama DVD movie, Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder, was released this week. I watched it for the first time tonight. It was extremely funny. With no guarantees of further movies or new episodes, this very well could be the end of the line for our beloved Planet Express crew. That saddens me.

[ImprisonedNtheDarkTower]

i'm such a slacking futurama fan now. haven't seen any of the 4 movies yet. seen every episdoe thought atleast 50 times each. i miss my fixin' of bender.

[SigTauGimp]

I enjoyed the last movie quite a bit...not as much as Bender's Big Score, but more than Beast With a Billion Backs and Bender's Game, definitely.

It was a good, open-ended type of ending, which makes me happy.(There's always a chance they can come back to it.:rock:)

I still think that I liked the series finale just a bit more, though. (The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings...the singing, story, and ending was just phenomenal.)

The movies(in order of awesomeness), IMO, goes:
Bender's Big Score
Into The Wild Green Yonder
Bender's Game
Beast With A Billion Backs

How did everyone else rate them??

[LadyHitchhiker]

1 Bender's Big Score
Into The Wild Green Yonder - haven't seen yet
3 Bender's Game
2 Beast With A Billion Backs

[valtr0n]

Wal-mart had each season for $15... picked them all up yesterday. I haven't seen Into the Wild Green Yonder yet, but I liked Bender's Big Score and Bender's Game the best of the movies so far.

[SigTauGimp]

:panic: No way! 15$???


That's astounding...now I have to make a Wal-Mart trip to see if mine has them that cheap.

[valtr0n]

I know, $15! $10 cheaper than the new movies sell for. Weird, eh?

They're listed on Walmart.com at $30+ each, but another friend of mine who lives a few states away said his had them for $15 each too. They're not on clearance, but I do think they're trying to get rid of existing stock. They took them out of the TV/Collections section and put them on an endcap. When they're gone, I'd say they're gone.

[LadyHitchhiker]

Wow! I actually got season 3 of Futurama once for $12 at wal-mart because they mismarked it but it was already marked it so I got it for the cheap price! :rock:

[sleeplessdwarf]

Watched The Wild Green Yonder over the weekend and loved it.

[jayson]

We watched it a second time yesterday. It gets even better and I already thought it was hilarious.

[ClicheGuevara]

Watched that about a week ago, thought it was great. .Futurama was a show that definitely grew on me after it was cancelled.

[LadyHitchhiker]

It's the only show besides Time Trax I've ever become COMPLETELY hooked on once it was cancelled.

[soylentjillian]

I love Futurama. I'm taking a break from it though, because I have seen it so many times (first on Adult Swim and now on Comedy Central) that I can quote all the dialogue almost perfectly.

[SpaceMaN]

Ahhh, Futurama.

Best show ever.

"When you have lift like this, you don't have to know anything."

and the ever classic,

"Bite my shiny metal ass."

[Munchausen]

While I do agree that Futurama is brilliant I am reticent to buy the features at full price. ($25-ish Can) Our version of Comedy Central has aired all of them within days of the dvd release date too. I'm thinking that would undermine the sales. This property is getting the shaft from several sides.

[jayson]

I bought them all. They're worth it (to me) to watch without commercials.

[jayson]

Ok people, get ready to be happy...

Bender's back, baby! New Futurama episodes are in our future


Have you grown tired of bad TV news? And by bad TV news, I mean bad news about television shows. Bad "TV news" is redundant.

Well, get ready for some good news. No wait, get ready for some great news. No, great doesn't really describe it. Here is some grantasticularly wondergasmiclicious news! (And my 12th grade English teacher said I'd never amount to anything as a writer.)

Comedy Central has ordered all brand new episodes of Futurama, and the show has officially gone back into production.

An insider told Collider.com that the network has given the series an order for 13 additional episodes to air now that the network has run through all of the series' original episodes and the four full-length DVD movies. This news has sparked rumors that production has officially started again on the series and casting is underway.

It's not just good news for Futurama fans, even though the fans are slipping into grinning comas and twitching with joy over the news. And who can blame them? It's one of the few comedy series that just seems to get better and better the longer its run gets. It's the bizarro According to Jim.

It's also good news to every show that has been cancelled before its time. Matt Groening, David X. Cohen and company have proved that no show can truly die just because a single-minded network doesn't have the patience to let it develop and expand. Their dedication to the show and its fans is truly astounding, and if new episodes do make it to Comedy Central's doorstep, disappointed fanboys across the universe will have one less thing in life to be disappointed about.

[sarajean]

that should read fanboys and gurls. :(

but, yay!

:excited: :excited:

[jayson]

:lol:

Now if someone could just resurrect Arrested Development I'd be all set.

[sarajean]

we talked about this, didn't we? weren't we trying to get matt to watch it one night in chat?

:couple:

[jayson]

yes, that happened. :couple:

[SigTauGimp]

:excited::excited:

That is the best news I've heard all year.

Too bad I don't have Comedy Central. :(
I'm still pumped about it, though...DVDs have to be released SOMETIME, amirite?

[SpaceMaN]

Futurama is back! And if you've seen the movies, what do you think the future holds with that "ending"? Will Leela and Fry ever hook up? Will Bender ever be nice? I hope yes, and I hope no. I frickin' love Bender.

[jayson]

futurama is dead to me now

i was excited for it's return

this news changes everything

without the real cast, they can call the show whatever they want, it will not be futurama.

i, for one, will not watch two seconds of it.

http://popwatch.ew.com/popwatch/2009/07/futurama-new-voices.html?xid=rss-feed-todayslatest-'Futurama'%3A+Voices+to+be+recast

[SpaceMaN]

Wow, that's some BS.

I hope they get them to sign on, it would definitely NOT be the same.

[sarajean]

GOOD NEWS, EVERYONE! (http://news-briefs.ew.com/2009/07/31/futurama-voice-actors-cut-fresh-deal-with-fox/)

'Futurama' voice actors cut fresh deal with Fox
by Kevin Byrne
Categories: News, Television
Five members of the original cast of the Fox animated series Futurama are returning for the series’ reboot, thanks to a deal just sealed with 20th Century Fox TV. Variety is reporting that Katey Sagal, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, Billy West, and John DiMaggio will continue to provide their character voices for 26 new episodes of the animated Matt Groening sci-fi comedy, which will start airing on Comedy Central in 2010. Word of the deal comes less than a month after Fox put out a casting call for replacement actors. In a joint statement issued tonight, Groening and co-producer David X. Cohen said: “We are thrilled to have our incredible cast back. The call has already gone out to the animators to put the mouths back on the characters.”

[jayson]

thank goodness!

it means i will be watching

:clap:

[sarah]

yay, thanks honeygirl. :wub:

Oh Fricken YES!

[sarajean]

i know.

i told my dad this morning, and he said he was happy because it meant he could still watch it.

:D

[SigTauGimp]

Whew...I gotta say, I was super pissed when I heard about the casting call and all that...this is definitely a load off of my mind. :D

[SpaceMaN]

I knew they'd know better, Futurama fans everywhere went in an uproar about that. DVD sales alone will help to pay those salaries. I know I'll buy them.

[weezy]

I was so :rock: when i heard the cast were returning, I couldn't have watched it otherwise which would have been a shame as it's one of my favourite shows.

I suppose you'll never see that "We want more money" attitude with Family Guy or South Park as the writers on those shows do most of the voices themselves.

[LadyHitchhiker]

OMG!!!!!!!!! :excited: :excited: :excited: FUTURAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Coming back? Words not working, excitement filled glory squishy goodness!
