No, but when Howie had Billy West (voice of Fry) on awhile back he said Fox ruined Futurama by constantly changing the time slot; tough to find meant ratings suffered and
eventually it got cancelled.
I haven’t watched too much of the show but have seen
some episodes—like the Willy Wonka spoof (slurm!) and
the one where two kids (one reminiscent of Bart
Simpson) start up a delivery business.

Futurama was created by the guy that does The Simpsons. Matt Groenig?

The bitterness at Fox is still there. The first new epi beat up on Fox and the executives for the first few minutes, and ground up "executives" were literally sprinkled from a shaker throughout the four epis.

I thought it was overkill on staff's part, myself, but the Comedy Channel didn't do the return any favors. overlaying part of the opening scene that has some trite advertising-like slogan that's part of the appeal of the opening.

Guess I missed Billy West on Howie. Must have been when Entercom was screwing up Howie's syndication.
