GUESS WHOSE BACK!

FINALLY!, Futurama is back!

An announcement was made on June 9th that Comedy Central had picked up the show for 26 new half-hour episodes that will begin airing in mid-2010. It was announced that a casting notice was posted to replace the entire cast when 20th Century Fox ( the parent company) would not meet their salary demands, so during Comic Con , many fans converged on the Futurama booth to voice displeasure. If its one thing you don't mess with, it's devoted fans of cult t.v shows.
So with the help of Maurice LaMarche ( who voices Kif on the show) who sent a message that was sent to members of the "Save the Voices of Futurama" group on Facebook, all the members of the original show are coming back. So that means West, Sagal, DiMaggio, LaMarche, MacNeille, Tom, LaMarr, and Herman will all be returning.
When Futurama first aired on fox it had a decent following as it was created by "The Simpsons" creator and aired after the show, but by the 4th season ratings had dropped and Fox canceled the series in 2003. But much like other "brilliant but canceled" shows, Cartoon Network became the savior of the series, picking it up as well as "Family Guy" (which we are fans of) and began airing it with "Family Guy" during the "Adult Swim" block at night. This "Adult Swim " block helped get "Family Guy" back on the air at Fox, but sadly that didn't happen with "Futurama"Enter Comedy Central , who committed to sixteen new episodes and decided that four films would be produced. With that "Bender's Big Score", "The Beast with Billion Backs" , "Bender's Game" and "Into the Wild Green Yonder" were made and aired with "Into the Wild Green Yonder" intending to be the series finale.
We are excited that this show is coming back, especially in the wake of some of the other crap that is on t.v right now.
