FOX and the Curiosity Company are the exclusive owners of the copyright, trademark, etc. of Futurama, as the legal notice say at the buttom of this page. Also why FOX loves sending C&D letters to fansites.
If a rich uncle came along and gave Groening a wad of cash, they'd have to buy out FOX first.

What? Do you mean changing the name?
If they just changed the name, then FOX would probably sue the TV Channel that started the Futurama Imitator, but if they changed the show so much that the channel couldn't be sued, then I guess FOX wouldn't own the rights.

I mean those show cost alot more, granted they use real people but if they have the money to of kept Farscape going they could fork out a Million bucks an episode for Futurama. I watched Farscape for the the first 1 or 2 sessons and then I thought, "Whats the point".

It never confused me.... And I too have pondered why Sci-fi never thought about getting ahold of Futurama.... Then again they did pick up that Futuramaesque clone Trippin' the Rift

Basically, its purpose is to confuse the hell out of Americans who aren't used to complex plots in SciFi shows. (I know it confused the hell out of me.) Hey I'm a star trek fan and i'm also australian but it just became..... a bit confusing as you said N-O-R. But maybe we should owe that one to Australias channel 9 they were just as bad as channel 7 with Futurama! I wonder what the Holly Wood "blockbuster" is going to be like.

Those muppets are far better than Star Trek view of aliens. You can really see how they cheap on the budget.
Director: "I need him to be an alien!" Special effects guy: "Sure, no problem. Hey, actor buddy, tilt your head 45 degrees! now pout all the time! excellent! See? an alien!" Director: "But he still looks totally human! Wait! Actor, can you also blink alot? excellent! Now THAT is an alien!"

Your interest in "Futurama" is most appreciated. Fox will continue todo its best to bring you quality entertainment. Homer:They don't mean anything. They're just words, like "I'll do it later" and "I love you"." Originally posted by aslate: At least TLZ got C&D letters, i just got deleted off Alltoons with a small email saying i vioated some TOCs which i never agreeded to (and didn't even violate anyway).
We get C&D's because we're special. Ralph: "I'm special!"

I love Invader Zim - has anyone red 'Johnny the Homocidal Maniac' - that's by the same guy - Nick' gave him (johan vasquez) the Zim contract without seeing that one apparently - oh, how I miss spell check - Any way, I don't think Johan should do Futurama either - i like them both but their different from each other and I like it that way!
