Be careful what you wish for... remember, the artwork for Futurama is done in Korea... maybe we'll be catching a new episode with Bender running amok at a future World Cup? :lol:

I can't believe that Fox doesn't want to carry Futurama anymore... that sucks... :mad2:

Maybe you can go over to Korea and convince them to keep doing it, just with slightly different designs, new character names and really cheap voice-actors.

The whole Groening enterprise kind of went in the toilet after Phil Hartman was murdered... how can anyone replace, "Hi, and I'm Troy Maclure. Some of you may remember me from some films as..."

Cartoon Network has been airing older episodes. Let's hope they can scrounge the cash to get new ones made. I've read that the cast and crew would like to make more, but it'll all come down to the money issue.
