Futurama Has Been CANCELLED!

One of my favourtie shows has unfortunetly seen the FOX axe 🙁

Heres what Yahoo! (Reuters) is saying (http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/nm/20020213/tv_nm/television_futurama_dc_1):

Fox Broadcasting has told the cartoon's executive producer, Matt Groening, that it can't immediately commit to ordering any additional episodes beyond those that have already been produced for this season and next. Because of the long lead time for animated projects, Groening needed a commitment this month in order to keep the show's scribes on staff and the skein in production for the 2003-04 season.

The network could still order more episodes down the line, though that seems a long shot. The final call on whether to revive the series should Fox order more episodes would be Groening's.

Of the 72 episodes of "Futurama" in the can, only 48 have aired. The show was preempted through most of the fall and early winter due to NFL overruns; a similar air pattern will likely reduce the number of episodes that'll air next year. Despite virtually no promotion and frequent pre-emptions, "Futurama" has still managed to win its 7 p.m. Sunday slot this season in teens, adults 18-34 and adults 18-49. Executives at producer 20th Century Fox TV have already had early talks about launching the show in syndication, though no deals are close.

Bummer.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO... I think

Not a lot of episodes have aired, think they will become classic in a few years already

WEll, why couldn't it had been King of the Hill instead??

So now we're going to see Raz going a little bit of a depression boys and girls.. but it'll be okay..really it will

Nah, I'm OK 😄

I'm sure Matt has got some other great shows lined up for us 🙂

Yeah, I saw this news last week, can't say it change my life that much. I never saw much of a future in the series anyway.

I take it Dim doesn't like King of the Hill.

As long as Groening keeps pumping time and money into MY favorite show, I'll be happy. 🙂

Hell yeah! The Simpson's are the best!

When they take The Simpsons off the air, I'll be doing exsactly what Homer is doing down there. 🤣

Drink to forget what happend to the Simpson's?

Nah, I'll be drinking watching the Simpsons

*Re-runs*

I can't watch the Simpsons as much as I'd like to. An 8-year-old brother and a 7-year-old sister don't exactly let your mom let you watch the show. Grr.

Hey Raz, are ya' sure your not "Freakin'"?

I wish they would let the characters on these shows actually age some.

No, the Simpsons is perfect just the way it is.

Back to Futurama....

I think this show is alright it's not perfect but it makes me laugh especially Bender, he reminds me of ToMacco.

Still, it will be missed as it did have many trademarked Groening hidden jokes...
