“Terrible News Everyone” – Futurama Coming Back

Thank you Professor Farnsworth!

If you’re not a fan of the Matt Groening sci-fi series it might be an odd revelation that this article is actually proclaiming happily that one of the funniest, most topical animated comedy series about people in the future with a big green spaceship is coming back to Comedy Central for 26 new episodes. It also may irk you that this is not a video game news post.. but frankly Futurama has a lot of gaming connection and is a favorite of the entire Gaming Today staff so I decided to exclaim my excitement in a simple post for those who might have missed it on the entertainment and genre sites.

Apparently Fox and Comedy Central are working together to produce the new episodes for late 2010 premiere! But that doesn’t mean we have to wait that long since the 4 DVD films were always intended to air on the network in 1/2 hour segments with additional content this year sometime. So if you picked up any of the films (which were frankly uneven in quality – the lowest being the one I was most anxious about – “Bender’s Game”) on DVD then you’ve proved that Fox yet again made a mistake in canceling an animated series too soon.

So celebrate you useless meatbags! You won! ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!
