Step out of that Suicide Booth – “Futurama” is back!
Comedy Central has ordered 13 new episodes of the best cartoon scifi sitcom since Jane Jetson finally stopped that crazy thing, reports Collider. The original series ran on Fox from 1999 till 2003, before going into the cryogenic freezer until four direct-to-dvd specials in 2007.
Here’s the great thing about being an animation fan: our canceled masterpieces can actually be revived. First Family Guy, and now Futurama – and of course The Simpsons has been the walking undead for about a decade. No amount of boycotting and dvd-sales will ever get Firefly back on the small screen (sigh), but all animated shows need is a butt-load of cash and they're good to go - actual actors get old and busy and stuff, but Fry and Bender are just where we left them.
Read it and weep, Browncoats! (Dear Santa: Firefly The Animated Series maybe pls?)
In celebration, here is a completely arbitrary list of some fantastic Futurama clips. Starting with, appropriately enough, Futurama's explanation of why actors are so darn pesky for staging revivals...
Al Gore meets Bender
Futurama Discovers Sexuality
You've Got To Be Insincere
