Comedy Central is due to revive Futurama for another 13 episodes. The NY Post is reporting that the entire cast is coming back and dvd sales will follow the episodes airing on Comedy Central.
"Futurama" star Katey Sagal confirmed the return of the show on Comedy Central Tuesday night during an appearance on Craig Ferguson's "Late Late Show."
On Fox, "Futurama" never developed the same buzz or following of its sister show, "The Simpsons," but has since become one of the biggest shows on Adult Swim.
Fox may also have the option to air the new episodes, although it is highly unlikely to do so, according to industry sources.
Wow... I can't wait to see the new episodes. At least we got a few great seasons of Futurama out of Fox. Fox has always cancelled good shows to make room for trash.
I think of all the prime time animated shows, Futurama is my favorite. Unlike Family Guy, Simpsons, South Park, etc., I actually really care about what happens to Fry and Leela.

Exactly - I remember (almost) shedding a tear at the end of that episode about Fry's dog - the poor thing just sat there...

The episode about Fry and his brother makes me a little teary. Like the Pinky & the Brain Christmas Special
