Jun 10 2009New Futuramas Coming To Comedy Central
Sad they stopped making new Futurama episodes? Well cry no more my puffy-eyed compadre, Comedy Central just signed a deal for 26 new episodes beginning mid-2010!
When the series returns with original episodes in 2010, it will be seven years after the show's last original episode aired on Fox. That's a much longer hiatus than the three years Family Guy spent on the bench before being summoned back by Fox.
All key voice cast members are expected to return for the new episodes, along with the series' core writing team.
Nice, now I can finally reignite my love-hate relationship with Bender. Good to see you again buddy, wanna drink? What am I saying -- I'll kill you! Unless you have naked pictures of Leela, in which case, BFFs!
I'll kill you in your sleep.
Comedy Central gives Futurama new future [abc]
Thanks to Rigo, Nick, Julian and Sarah-Ashton, who have never received a package from Planet Express on time.

Don't you know how to properly reference a post?
16. dubba - June 10, 2009 10:42 AM
so long as they dont do another tearjerker like that seymore the dog episode
i wept like a little girl
and i was the onlyone laughing at titanic wondering outloud how awesome it woulda been if the old lady broke her hip falling off the railing... or if her fet stuck to the railing from it being so cold and wet...or if his arm broke off atthe wrist.... butthat end scene where the dog was jsut waiting...and waiting.... it was the most heartbreaking thing ever.
not a single tear for brian's song either ....but futurama made me cry
I am man enough to say that
17. H - June 10, 2009 10:44 AM
Futurama FTW always its the best show out there.
is it wrong that i cheered when i saw this? especially as i am in the office today *cough*
18. FIRSTTARD - June 10, 2009 10:44 AM
FIRST!
19. sokka - June 10, 2009 10:48 AM
@16
Don't forget the one where he thinks his brother stole his identity and his lucky 7 leaf clover only to find out that his brother named his son after him and out of respect he decided to leave the clover behind
i shed a tear there
then i promptly sought out some beef jerky and some porno
20. mike literous - June 10, 2009 10:52 AM
@15
yeah, i referenced it. big wow.
everyone understood it = job done.
the fact you bitched about how i didn't do it correctly as you put it now holds you in the same level of esteem i hold for parking attendants.
21. InnocentFlirt - June 10, 2009 10:59 AM
Yes! Now I can bitch to my dad about buying me the box sets again :p
22. Daisy - June 10, 2009 11:05 AM
FAKE!!!!
This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.
This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down where Max was drinking beer with a robot and watching the head of Richard Nixon play Boris spaskey's head in a game of chess. Since Boris spaskey is so much better at chess he put on an eyepatch and talked like a pirate.
23. Assi - June 10, 2009 11:07 AM
JeeHaw!
24. photoshop-police - June 10, 2009 11:09 AM
YES!!!!!
Futurama haters can bite my shiny metal ass!!!!
25. Pat - June 10, 2009 11:10 AM
This is seriously the best news I've heard all month. Viva Futurama!
26. STOMPY - June 10, 2009 11:15 AM
@20
I've heard worse from better...
Bout time, I've been getting sick of family guy and american dad stuff, Futurama was way more edgier...
27. Birr Crinton - June 10, 2009 11:29 AM
AWESOOOME!!
You can all bite my shiny metal ass!!!!!
28. Gordon "Fücking" Shumway - June 10, 2009 11:30 AM
was edgier
Adding "more" before "edgier" makes that statement redundant. It's not unlike saying, "more gooder," when you can just say, "better." Sorry STOMPY. I had to do it. Also, punctuation was never my strong point{
@20 <--That's how we do it here.
Blow me. Also, bite my shiny metal ass.

@26
edgy
lol, nice faux pas. giving me a bollocking whilst screwing your own post.
good work fella !
@28
no. i'd rather neither bite your ass or blow you. you'd like me to do both though, wouldn't you? sorry, but there's not enough rohypnol in the world !
32. enigma - June 10, 2009 12:05 PM
Good news everyone!
@16 and 19 - indeed... indeed.

Wow, Xmas has come early this year.
34. Boost - June 10, 2009 12:06 PM
I'm as happy as the next person they are bringing it back, but to be honest, I have a feeling they are going to suck.
When has a show that was cancelled, then brought back with new episodes NOT sucked?
35. Dr.Freak - June 10, 2009 12:19 PM
@19 You hear about the kid who found a real 7 leaf clover?
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/5481348/Lucky-schoolboy-finds-seven-leaf-clover.html
Lets go roll him
@31 Sure there is... I'll bring it, along with the video camera & some mayo for the money shot. Maybe i'll stick the clover to your head to keep the Futurama reference... Oh that's right, the story...
New Futurama! YAY! What? Next year? BOO!

38. JK - June 10, 2009 1:11 PM
Awesome! I love Futurama! I just hope they don't it screw up like Family Guy did when they came back or turn into a giant piece of shit like the new Simpsons episodes.
39. yan - June 10, 2009 1:14 PM

Sweet. Futurama was one of my favorites. But when are they going to bring back Firefly?
59. angela - June 11, 2009 7:34 AM
ah, sweet! And #38, I am in total agreement with you! I am hoping part of the original writing crew that made it great. I used to be such a huge fan of the simpsons, but no so much for the last few years. its really sad.
