See, it got cancelled because TV executives are stupid. Futurama was doing just great it's first season because it had a consistent time slot (after the Simpsons I believe), but then Fox got clever and thought hey, since Futurama is doing well, let's move it to another night, and put in some new show thats garbage in that successful time slot. Then boom, nobody likes the new show and it gets cancelled, and people have trouble finding when Futurama is on. Then Fox decides to move around Futurama even more and give it a hard time because it isn't getting much in the way of ratings anymore, because they moved it around. It's a nasty cycle. Then Futurama was simply cancelled.
Yeah, Futurama rocks! I have rented all the episodes through netflix but maybe it's time to pony up the cash and show some support. It was a tragedy that fox let it go, I heard the costs were high compared to reality tv garbage. Sadly for them, I never watch fox now except for an occasional simpsons, they've lost a viewer until Futurama is back. Long live bender!
Any fans of the show out there? Cause if you like the show, buy the DVDs, tell your friends, hassle people on the street - anything, just help bring the show back. I don't think the show ever got a chance, some of the best episodes were in the final season and the show really never got time to reach its peak. Bring it back!
If this is true, it's incredible news!
New Episodes (Family Guy + Futurama) =
By the way, the best episodes were indeed in the last season. Jurassic Bark, The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings, The Sting... Classic.

That's what they call "syndication" . M*A*S*H still runs in syndication, no one cares about that. People want new episodes, ie. the ones aired on FOX.
You guys are getting ahead of yourselves.. the show hasn't been brought back yet, there's just rumours circulating. So help the cause by picking up the dvds if you don't have them!
