Futurama: Plug has been pulled

[conjur]

Article

And on the Fox network, the final three new "Futurama" episodes can be seen Sundays at 7 p.m. through Aug. 10.

I think it's been a lame duck for a while now. Fox barely gave this show a chance; it had a HORRIBLE time slot.

 

[FeathersMcGraw]

Attention FOX programming executives: MORBO WILL DESTROY YOU!

 

[Wheatmaster]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO🙁

That sucks. What was it's original timeslot? I mean, I'd rather watch reruns of Futurama over BANSAI.

Good. Finally Fox has seen the errors of their ways and pulled this fecal matter infested show off the air.

its only a little better then futurama. and futurama is loads better then king of the hill. fox just seriously wanted to kill futurama like they did with family guy. considering the demographics of the fans are their most valuable... fox is just retarded.

I knew it was doing real well in ratings but not that well. Any links to back that up?

I saw an article on that too. Kind of surprising that it's doing so well late at night. I was never nuts about Futurama, but it's still pretty decent. Fox must've WANTED to kill Family Guy and Futurama the way they kept moving them around in the timeslots.

Weird that Simpsons outlasted them both...

not really, IMO the simpsons has always been superior.

 

[DarkManXY2G]

Damn! I really liked that show too. At least we still have the Simpsons.

To all you Futurama anti-fans out there....."bite my shiny metal ass!" :Q

Yeah I've been hooked on this show for a while, I think it's funny as hell..then again i'm turning 34 tomorrow so I can relate to lots of the humor and lines in the show. I'm just guessing here that some of you folk who don't care too much for it are prolly much younger? Either way, FOX dropped the ball on this one IMO, they didn't know just what a good thing they had.

(and what's up with all this 'family guy', 'king of the hill', and other animated comparisions going on here? I mean, Gah!

talk about apples & oranges!)

 

[her209]

I didn't really like it.

That's exactly what happened. I forget the exact details, but one of the creators of producers had a fallout with the President so they made a conscious effort to kill it.

Futurama is great...sometimes it isn't at its best.


Family Guys is ingenious

 

[VTrider]

I mean how can you hate a guy named 'Zap Brannigan'?

or

or Prof Farnsworth? I mean he would just walk into a manhold or something figuring out a rubiks cube, I think I had a prof. in college like that once?
