Yup, it's official: http://ausiellofiles.ew.com/2009/06/...a-returns.html

Holy Bender Bending Rodríguez!

Six years after getting axed by Fox, Futurama is being resurrected on Comedy Central.

A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox Television confirms that the cable net has ordered 26 new episodes of Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's late, great animated series to air beginning in 2010. The studio cites Futurama's "blockbuster" performance on DVD and in reruns on Comedy Central as the reason for its rebirth.

Hmmm... sound familiar?

"When we brought back Family Guy several years ago, everyone said that it was a once in a lifetime thing -- that canceled series stay canceled and cannot be revived," 20th Century Fox TV Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden said in a joint statement. "But Futurama was another series that fans simply demanded we bring back, and we couldn’t have been happier when Matt and David agreed that there were many more stories yet to tell."

Adds Groening: "We’re thrilled Futurama is coming back. We now have only 25,766 episodes to make before we catch up with Bender and Fry in the year 3000."

I have a hunch Groening isn't the only one doing a happy dance. (That's your cue to start filling up the comments section).

Re: Futurama Apparently Isn't Over, Folks.

I agree that specific drawing has no meaning. That means it isn't art.

Art is defined by it's meaning.

"Everyone interprets art in their own way, and there isn't always one "correct" way to do it. I think you got something from it that others did not because of your own strong personal beliefs."

Bender had a whole speech at the end about how real love is jealous, etc. One can argue that I have the theme exactly wrong and that the speech was ironic or something, but the idea that I pulled it out of my opinionated ass is ludicrous.

Plus, the way they treated Fry's polyamorous girlfriend? Just icing on the **** cake.

That drawing isn't art? So what is it?

Art is not defined by its meaning. Art is expression from the artist. It doesn't have to mean anything or it can mean a whole lot.

hip hop isn't music

[Byron Pennyworth]

Re: Futurama Apparently Isn't Over, Folks. (update 6/10/09)

Yes, you mentioned that already. I still don't understand what Hip-Hop and Music being distinct, separate, and valid artforms has to do with the current conversation.

Let's ask Bon.

Re: Futurama Apparently Isn't Over, Folks. (update 6/10/09)

Bon isn't gonna know why Caciss insists on injecting Hip-Hop into a discussion about Futurama.
