Topic: Good News Everyone!

[NWR_insanolord]

I can't believe it took me this long to get around to watching these new episodes. I didn't want to watch them before watching the final DVD movie, and I kept putting that off.

I've watched the first 6 so far, and they've been up and down. None of them were bad, but most weren't up to Futurama standards, at least not the whole way through, though the last one I watched, where Bender had to come to terms with his own mortality, was great.

There have been some really great lines in all of them, though. One in particular I intend to use in my everyday life: I don't remember the exact context, but Leela said something about Amy, who said it was stupid, and Bender replied with "The truth is often stupid."

The other night they had a holiday themed anthology episode called "The Futurama Holiday Spectacular", including Coolio reprising his role as Kwanzabot and Al Gore as his head in a jar. It was a good special, and I hope the next season is longer than this years short season.

Bad News, everyone.

Futurama Cancelled.

[TJ Spyke]

The producers are not giving up though, they said they will continue looking for a new home for it. And they joked that this is the 3rd time they have accepted the end of it (1st time after Fox canceled it, 2nd time after they finished making the 4 movies and thought that was it). Stupid Comedy Central had to spoil how it ends though when they announced the cancellation: The series finale will focus on Fry and Leela's wedding.

Aw, man! I was loving the new episodes! I guess I can just be glad that they're giving it an ending (unlike Married with Children).

I'm happy with how short the seasons are. 13 is a nice number which means i always want more.

If i never get another season i will be satisfied with the series as a whole.

TECHNICALLY only the first season was 13 episodes. Comedy Central aired 2 seasons of 26 episodes each, splitting up each season over 2 years (i.e. the first 13 episodes of season 7 aired in 2012, the final 13 airs this year). I don't know why they consider them the same season (it's like how season 6 aired 13 episodes in 2010 and 13 in 2011).

I know they were produced in batches of 26 but i still consider each season to be 13. That length is just right.

[TJ Spyke]

That's fine, I was just pointing out that only one Futurama season is actually 13 episodes.
