With Family Guy’s Lazarus-like return from the dead, Comedy Central has seen an opportunity to revive another cult-classic animated series from death’s door. Three years ago, “Futurama” last aired on FOX. Today, Comedy Central announced that Matt Groening’s other cartoon, ‘Futurama’ will return to television in 2008 with a minimum of 13 new episodes. The network also stated that they have already re-signed Billy West, Katey Sagal, and John DiMaggio to once again voice the main characters.
For those of you who have never seen the show, ‘Futurama’ is basically about a pizza boy, Fry, who was unintentionally frozen for a thousand years. When he is brought out of his little nap, he starts hanging out with Leela the one-eyed babe and Bender the cranky robot. I never really thought ‘Futurama’ was that funny. I looked at it as the next generation’s desire to have their own trendy, cutting edge cartoon like ‘The Simpsons.’ Don’t worry. I know I’m in the minority with this opinion. No reason to send me hate mail. (I will contend, “The Simpsons have sucked for 6 years since Groening is mostly concerned with adding gold coins to his money bin. Send me hate mail for THAT).
