Umm, the premiere of Futurama isn't until December 9th. The Simpsons' is just around the corner. THAT might explain away your question.

Jeez ! 9 December ! - I get the impression Fox doesn't have a whole of interest in this project anymore. Well, at least I'll get to watch such fine programming as Ally McMeal, When Anthrax Attacks ! and World's Deadliest Executions. Otis, thanks for "howdy" ! I was posting at another Futurama site but they haven't had any new threads since June so.... This seems like a very active and insightful board - I've already had a blast reading some of your forum's older posts.

It's frustrating to see Fox sink so much $$$$ into crap like "Grounded for Life", "Temptation Island", "The Bernie Mac Show" and "Ally McBeal" and then watch 'em dump on some really original stuff like "The PJs" (I'm sorry but I thought it was funny - "SHUT UP YA DAMNED STUPID CRACKHEAD !", "We were playin' Star Gang Wars.", "It's part of their community reach-around program.", "There's cops everywhere - it ain't safe to be outside.", "I had 32 confirmed kills and you gonna tell me I can't teach health !?!" and "Family Guy" had its moments ; "...and I'll bet YOU lost your virginity to a mechanical bull !", "...though they tried to defeat me they can all just freakin' eat me". The way Fox previewed "Futurama" in '99 I really thought they would support it more. Gotta admit, the level of traffic on this board is incredible - makes me think "Futurama" may just have a shot at life.

I liked the PJs & Family Guy, too. Different, & good gags. The animation industry's about as dead as it was in 1985 these days. Be thankful for Futurama & The Simpsons.

When I was at the SanDiego Comic Con @ the futurama forum....I think it was Matt or maybe one of the other producer/writers, said that the Fox higher ups "just didn't get" Futurama.....too many in jokes?? Futurama is one of the funniest shows on TV. If fox does dump them, maybe they can pull a Buffy?? VTRan

TV execs not 'getting jokes'?? They're too busy with their shrinks & attorneys trying to make ends meet with their 4th divorce to be bothered with 'humor'. They don't have the free time like we do to appreciate humor. They're in hell.

If Fox decides to drop Futurama, will some other channel be able to pick it up?

I hope another channel picks up Futurama, cause Fox seems to think that 'Malcom in the Middle' is the greatest show ever (It's not, guys! Get a clue!). If they promoted Futurama half as much as they promote that one, Futurama could easily become the next Simpsons.
Damn you, Malcom. Give up thy coveted timeslot, so that a more worthy show can take thy place!
