	Futurama on Fox again? Browse Apolyton AD-FREE

I'm watching Fox right now (7:16 Pacific Standard Time) and they have Futurama on!

I thought Fox dropped Futurama. Did it get picked up again or is this some twisted joke by the execs?

They are playing the last of the fourth season that they never played last year I think.

yeah I think the idiots cancelled the programme and stopped showing it at the same time which left about 8 unseen episodes for future usage.

Futurama > Simpsons

Simpsons is stale and losing its edge ( latest episodes just aren't that funny ) yet they still make it and cancel Futurama which is far superior.

*sigh*

Demerzel: It is this strange thing called 'ratings'. Perhaps you've heard of them?

Don't forget that Cartoon Network plays old episodes of Futurama Sunday-Thursday.

Putting Futurama in a kiss-of-death timeslot ratings wise sure didn't help it's longevity.

Fox is top heavy with good cartoons anyway, what with Simpsons, King of the Hill, and that goofy Bill O'Reilly character.

King of the Hill is boring, IMHO. BTW, I thought that Futurama and The Simpsons were both created by Matt Groening?

I thought it was mildly amusing when I watched it every once in a while, but a local station has been playing it every night in syndication, and now I think the show is hilarious. The running propane jokes are pure insanity.

They are in fact Groening creations.

I prefer Family Guy - hasn't that also been cancelled?

Yes, and Cartoon Network has also picked it up and plans to start airing it next month, I believe.

April 20 is the start date for Family Guy, but CN can't air the first season for awhile (they just released it on DVD). It'll air at 11:30 M-TH, right after Futurama.

Futurama was never "canceled", in that it wasn't actually taken off the air it was just being pre-empted almost all the time. In fact, last night instead of Futurama (which was a new one you all got to see) I had an Indianapolis Fox Weather Special - explaining the intricacies of lightning and tornadoes - wow!

Today they're going to start the Futurama run again - so if you wanted to see every (almost, some haven't aired on Fox yet and can't be shown) episode in order, tune in at 11:00. On the same note, Trigun, a new series to Adult Swim is premiering - I plan on seeing if this anime series is for me, it's said to be really good.

king of the hill is a great show. far superior to futurama. more reminiscent of earlier simpsons episodes.

while futurama feels closer to later simpson episodes

My biggest complaint with King of the Hill:

Hank Hill sound just like Mr. Anderson from Beavis and Butthead. Yes, I know they were created by the same person.

ACK!

Simpsons is getting kind of stale... I mean for crying out loud that series started when I was in 4th grade and I'm practically a senior in college now!

The simpsons are not getting stale at all. This is just a popular misconcpetion/band wagon thing, IMO. They did have a few more stinkers in the last few seasons then they had historically had, but they still have many quality episodes. LONG LIVE THE SIMPSONS!

I liked Futurama, by the way, and I also saw that episoide. its a shame they cancled it, adn an even bigger shame they canclled Family Guy, which was exactly like the simpsons (barely functioning family with a big fat stupid patriarch[homer], dumb ass son[bart], stereotypical house wife[marge], a daughter [lisa is the closest thing, but they are very different] and baby[maggy, but the baby is super intellegent, like lisa...]). so it was like the simpsons with 2x the new episodes each week.

The series is definitely getting at least semi-stale. Compare the season 14 episode where Marge gets breast implants and the one where Marge gets muscles and tell me exactly how they differ in concept.

No, Simpsons are going stale. I've watched religiously since the fifth season and have probably seen every episode at least twenty times in syndication (except the one where maggie gets put in daycare and escapes to free the pacifiers they never show that one!) the episodes can no longer function without Homer having a large part. Unlike earlier episodes where Marge or Bart could carry the episodes. I read something on Jumptheshark.com that was so true, the Simpsons have resorted to un funny one liners as jokes and, for all intensive purposes, abandoned plots to add scores of guest stars.

Family Guy is another great programme that doesn't deserve to be messed around.

Simpsons seem to be recycling plotlines a lot these days and I certainly don't laugh at the jokes as much as I used to. Even the Sideshow Bob episodes aren't half as good as they used to be.

And yes as said above, the reason Futurama never got the "ratings" was because they always put it up against tough opposition. gfg guys!

I don't have a tv hook-up right now, so I got my copy of yesterday's Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles from somewhere on IRC. It's one of the better light episodes, though perhaps not as good as Roswell That Ends Well.

The Simpsons suck. Every FUX executive needs to be ritually disemboweled (yes, Sideshow Bob fans, I wouldn't rather say "gutted").
