Its about time I can't wait!

"Can you believe it?s been more than 6 years since the last original half-hour episode of "Futurama" aired? Well, the wait is almost over. As previously reported, Comedy Central announced last year that they ordered 26 new episodes of the show and now the network has set a premiere date. HitFix is reporting that the show will premiere on Thursday, June 24, 2010 at 10:00 p.m. It?s unclear at the moment whether all 26 episodes will serve as a season (which would be its sixth) or be spread across two seasons. The highest episode order the show ever received came in season two (20 episodes)"

I heard that none of the original voice actors were going to be in it though.

After the atrocities the movies were I wouldn't be surprised if nobody wanted to be back on it. It's a real shame, too.

It won't be the same without the original voice actors. Without them, it wont even be 'proper' Futurama anymore. It'll be just another 'Simpsons-animation style' sitcom.

they'll probably make an ep explaining everyone's voice changes off xD

1DeadlySAMURAI · « **Reply #6 on:** March 11, 2010, 01:09:30 PM »

still wont be the same

If it's anything like the movies, it will be terrible. Both Family Guy and Futurama were much better before they were cancelled. I can't stand to watch the cookie cutter run two Family Guy (or its TWO IDENTICAL CLONES American Dad and the Cleveland Show) and the Futurama movies made me sad. Even the Simpsons are starting to get lame.

More comedy less political goldbricking, kthx. Seth McFarland also strikes me as the kind of guy I'd like to sock in the face in person.

Thats old news. They confirmed last July the old actors are coming back.

IIRC American Dad was the show he was initially going to make, and then changed it into family guy. I dunno, I prefer Stan over Peter.

Why do some of you hate the movies? They were great!

I can't wait for the series to come back. Don't know how I'll see it though...I don't have Comedy Central. :sad:

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #12 on:** May 10, 2010, 08:10:12 PM »

Comedy Central is doing a count down to the new season, showing Pictures and concept art from the season once a week

Contains Minor spoilers, so don't look if you don't want to be spoiled.

Billz · « **Reply #13 on:** June 25, 2010, 01:37:03 PM »

So apparently, the new season of Futurama premiered yesterday. Hopefully it won't be long until we brits get to see it.

Was it worth the wait though?

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #14 on:** June 25, 2010, 03:20:08 PM »

Those 2 episodes were freaking awesome. It was worth the wait.

Villain · « **Reply #15 on:** June 28, 2010, 01:17:54 PM »

Heck yes! Back and better than ever. I can't even begin to imagine the other stuff they'll be able to get away with on CC.

Tuskin38 · « **Reply #16 on:** July 04, 2010, 01:51:16 PM »

Well they said they won't be doing anything they couldn't on Fox. But they'll be doing things more then they were allowed to do on Fox.

Like lets say they couldn't say ass more then 4 times on Fox. They could do it more on CC.

Morgan · « **Reply #17 on:** July 04, 2010, 03:31:40 PM »

Futurama's okay (although I do love Bender), but I never really scheduled myself to watch it like I do with The Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, and The Cleveland Show.

086gf · « **Reply #18 on:** July 04, 2010, 07:28:42 PM »

Don't remember where I saw this but, it was mentioned that so far the ratings have been the highest in series history and biggest viewership that CC has had on Thursday night...ever.

I read it on "Can't Get Enough Futurama"
