Return of "Futurama" (http://news.yahoo.com/s/eonline/9f53edf3316a_4e40_b6da_ce0b77199d89;_ylt=ArTdNQ8K4 2ZTsaVmb4Y8GdZxFb8C)

Awesome.

Psyched about this, but the "direct-to-DVD" thing is kind of a scam. They're doing what Family Guy did - releasing a DVD as a "movie" that just ends up getting broadcast as episodes on regular TV.

I'm worried about larger things in life than a direct to DVD scam but that's just me.

Just sayin, if you don't wanna spend the money on the DVDs, the same things will air on regular TV almost immediately after the DVD release.

"But Futurama refused to go quietly. Reruns of the show's 72-episode library began airing on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim and did so well that Comedy Central signed a deal in June 2006 to bring the comedy back with 13 new half-hour episodes scheduled to run next year."


Sixth season airing soon on top of the four dvd's to come out? That's awesome. I loved this show but the reruns got a little old after a while.
