silentbob Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Yes you read that right. After reviving my beloved Animaniacs, they are going to revive the revive of Futurama. Seems like all are on board minus Joe “Bender” DiMaggio himself, but they believe he will sign soon (but willing to recast) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ort Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 I mean, okay. Sure I guess. I loved this show, but it got a little weird/bad toward the end. Not sure if we really need more. The world has a lot of Futurama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if we really need more. The world has a lot of Futurama. Yeah I seem to remember loving the initial run. Had all the DVD box sets. Then they started releasing movies or something that didn't seem to hold my attention as much. Then more episodes later on which were fine I guess. I'm interested in more Futurama.... but I don't know..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chairslinger Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The finale formed a cool loop for the series. I wonder how they will deal with that. Anyway, the movies were really up and down, but I felt when the series came back for real it had some of the best episodes of it's entire run. But the last season or two did finally fall off in quality. Nothing close to the Simpsons, though. I am not sure Futurama really has anything left to say, but I'll give it a shot.

silentbob Posted February 10, 2022 Author Share Posted February 10, 2022 They should all be in the room with The Professor saying “and that is what would happen if we were a Comedy Central universe. Any questions?” As he turns off his What If machine with some infinity stone looking like gauntlet. Kind of start fresh again in some ways, but maybe carry over some of the better story lines of what they saw. Either way, the writers are pretty much geniuses and will figure things out.

SimpleG Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 I watch this show atleast 5-6 times a week, it is my go to comfort show. But this show has 5 good seasons after that it went downhill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 I love Futurama, but...there's no need for this. The ending was perfect, even if the last few seasons were not as great as the first few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 'Futurama' star John DiMaggio reveals Hulu's plan had he not returned - and he didn't get a raise WWW.SYFY.COM Back in March, Futurama fans rejoiced when news broke that John DiMaggio would return to voice the beloved robot Bender for Hulu's upcoming revival of the... Quote DiMaggio noted that the plan in his absence had been for Hulu and 20th Century Television to recruit a kind of rotating cast of guest stars to play Bender instead, with a new voice taking over the role each episode rather than a single actor taking on the character. Thank god he decided to do it. Celebrity guest Bender VAs sounds f’n awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CitizenVectron Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Honestly I wish he had held out. The show already ended perfectly and was on a downward trend, and I'd rather have Disney fuck it up and lose money than see them make money and have the cast get screwed on wages.

Isn't it crazy that Futurama only has 150 episodes? I know, that is not exactly a small amount of episodes for a show, especially when compared to modern day shortened seasons, but for a show the stature of Futurama it surprised me. Especially when you consider that that 150 includes the 4 movies as 4 episodes each AND that is including the 10 new episodes that haven't aired yet. So really it's more like 124 episodes, so far. Compare that to other animated shows that would probably come to mind when you think of shows as significant as Futurama. Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy, American Dad, King of the Hill. They all have 2, 3, or even 4x as many episodes as Futurama. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simpsons for instance only has less than 300 episodes in the seasons people actually care about, less than double the number of Futurama episodes if you cut it off at season 10.

Derek Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 I never really got into Futurama and I don't know why. It just never really grabbed me in the same way as early Simpsons, early Family Guy or King of the Hill did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ort Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I'm a big fan of this show, I didn't really vibe with the last several seasons / years or whatever... and I really don't know if we need this or not... but that trailer actually looked good and I guess I'll check it out... why not...

TwinIon Posted June 27, 2023 Share Posted June 27, 2023 I'm always dubious when a show is revived, but the trailer was good and we have Hulu, so I'll give it a watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silentbob Posted June 27, 2023 Author Share Posted June 27, 2023 I really liked the trailer when I was at work. Now that I’m home and high as a fucking kite I FUCKING LOVED IT! I almost lost it at the end with “will burrow ourselves out” “Burrow, Burrow” Here’s hoping this means it streams on Disney+ for Canadians or airs on our Adult Swim.

DarkStar189 Posted July 31, 2023 Share Posted July 31, 2023 I didn’t love the new episode. I thought side lining the main character off for half the episode was a weird choice for the first episode back after so long.
