Well how about that, finally someone is listening to the fans! I know, it's probably semi-old news, but I hadn't heard it!

Holy Bender Bending Rodríguez!Six years after getting axed by Fox, Futurama is being resurrected on Comedy Central.
A spokesperson for 20th Century Fox Television confirms that the cable net has ordered 26 new episodes of Matt Groening and David X. Cohen's late, great animated series to air beginning in 2010. The studio cites Futurama's "blockbuster" performance on DVD and in reruns on Comedy Central as the reason for its rebirth.
Hmmm... sound familiar?
"When we brought back Family Guy several years ago, everyone said that it was a once in a lifetime thing -- that canceled series stay canceled and cannot be revived," 20th Century Fox TV Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden said in a joint statement. "But Futurama was another series that fans simply demanded we bring back, and we couldn’t have been happier when Matt and David agreed that there were many more stories yet to tell."
Adds Groening: "We’re thrilled Futurama is coming back. We now have only 25,766 episodes to make before we catch up with Bender and Fry in the year 3000."
I have a hunch Groening isn't the only one doing a happy dance. (That's your cue to start filling up the comments section.)
Futurama is returning!

It is one thing to have an open mind, everyone should.
It is another thing to open your mind and slap a "For Rent/Best Offer/First Come First Served" sign on it.
Just because it is a mystery to YOU doesn't make it unexplained.

I'm glad they're bringing it back. I've been substituting Bender by watching 'Doing Da'Vinci. The one guy on there with gray hair sounds EXACTLY like bender when he talks.

They didn't really slaughter it... BTVS (show) came after the film, did it not? Although a Whedonite, to compare the show and the first film is pretty redundant.
However, we have so much material from the show now it's hard to ignore the material. But that's a discussion for another thread......
