I can’t believe this is happening and don’t imagine any real Futurama fans will tune in to see the results of this travesty.
Nope. Too smart for TV. Too many jokes that you don’t get if you don’t have a high school education, have ever used a computer, etc.
Ah but we don’t know what the “salary demands” were. I can very well believe that Fox would not pay them even the same amount they were getting before, justifying that by claiming that the revenues via the Comedy Channel would be less than they were on Fox.
The Obama-ization of the series. I am sure Bender’s voice will be that of a cocaine-snorting homosexual with visions of grandeur.
Say it isn’t so...
The Simpsons’ golden era started a few years into the show and lasted quite a while. They jumped the shark a long time ago, though. Time to bring in Kazoo as a permanent character.
They did, but recently started a few new episodes here and there on Comedy Central.
The thing that I liked about Futurama was that it never got preachy or took itself to seriously. If you need to unwind and shut off your brain for 26 minutes, that’s the show to watch.
