Teral: Yes, but you old petitioners failed to consider one vital thing: Rock crushes scissors - petitions never work, especially not online petitions. Except maybe back when TNUK was banned, but I wasn't around for that. Anyway, this is at least creative and they can't blow it off as one person signing from a million different e-mail accounts.
Anyway, while I don't think our individual protest efforts will really accomplish anything more than making us feel better, it's important to show our support for the people who can make a difference - namely Matt, DXC, and *shudder* the same Turner execs that got the rights to air Family Guy. Evidence of strong fan support will be vital if they're ever going to get FOX to release the rights, or at least to begin using them again.
So please, spend your $1.50 and send the goddamn anchovies.

I really don't know why FOX refuses to bring back Futurama, or give up the rights. (They either hate it for not being the Simpsons in the future, or are scared that if they give up the rights, the people who get it will actually treat it well, and make tons of money. Probably both of those reasons.) I'm getting sick of saying it, but I'll say it again. Why not go for a 13 episode, trial season. Actually promote it, and give it a decent, RELIABLE schedule, air it regularly, and see what happens. They'd make tons of money. But as said before, appreciation of the show must be shown. This anchovie thing would work, but it would have to be sent every month or so. And an online petition AND mail-in petition would be needed. (However pointless.) But at least the show ended on a good note. (TDHAIP can be considered a series finale, and it leaves the door slightly open for a return. And one, and only one, good point for FOX. At least they released the DVDs pretty quickly {at least for me}, and in good format.)
And what ever happened to Matt Groening on [as]? On that one Matt Groening thread, people were theorzing he might have appeared on the last week of October, after the September 27 date passed. And now, nothing. What was it like for Family Guy? Were dates pushed back, and when it was first announced McFarlene would be on [as], how long did it actually take McFarlane to actually appear? Those are all important factors.[/b]

With any luck, the cans will eventually fall apart from manhandling by the postal service, and never end up back at your door. That just might work... @Kloudes: At least you know your can made it there. They noticed us. They acually noticed us.

Originally posted by Yinger36: I forget where I read it, but I do believe FOX told Groening that they were dissapointed that Futurama wasnt more like the simpsons. yea, fox asked why it wasnt like the simpsons, and M.G told them"it is like the simpsons, new and original'" or something along those lines. send those anchovies!!

FOX kept simpsons instead of futurama because it appealed to a wider audience, partly because it is family-oriented, partly because it had been on for a long time and gotten much status. Futurama seems to appeal to young adults-adults mostly, since it cannot really appeal to children expecially since that one episode, the christmas one, was aired later due to violence. and of course there are way more sexual references in futurama than simpsons...but that's what made it so funny!!! the sexual references in simpsons are between homer and marge, husband and wife. futurama is more sporadic, sleeping around with other people. dear lord, it was the seinfeld of animation!!! now i know why i love it so much!!! bottom line, i'd take futurama over simpsons anyday. 16 seasons and becoming very stale, prob because writers are out of ideas because not anything can happen in simpsons, unlike futurama where anything is possible in the future. so that restriction probably adds to the often iffy storylines in simpsons
