26 new episodes of Futurama!

From the mouth of Billy West himself:

"I'm thisclose to selling my show--''Billy Bastard--Amateur Human Being,''
And the other good news is that they're doing 26 new episodes of
''Futurama'' for TV and we're hammering out the deal now.The original
plan was to have the DVD's first but that's no longer the case.I'm totaly
jammed dude. "

1. Not so good news everybody...

Guys,
I'm sorry I gave inaccurate info on the cartoon.I was told on one end that the
TV show was a go but DXC enlightened me (with a hammer) that this was
not the case.I think there is a Futurama project as in DVD's but I appearently
had bad info.But I do live to give good Futurama news to people.So I must've
died or something.

All eyes on the skies,

Billy

Hopefully those DVD's will come out and will convince all involved that more Futurama is a good thing...

2. so it won't be on tv , it will go straight to DVD?

3. that's what it sounds like.

though I imagine that they'll probably run it on tv sometime... I mean why not. I hope that when they come out, they sell well enough to convince the studio to greenlight more episodes...

4. that is my hope as well

5. i just don't get it

it seems like if i really really like something like firefly or futurama or justice league it just gets no love from its producers or whomever...not an isolated incident in the life of me...seems to happen tooo often...

6. It looks like it may be coming back for a new season after all!

According to Katey Sagal and Billy West Futurama WILL be coming back for a fifth season of 13 episodes to air on Comedy Central...

Good news indeed!
