I think FOX treated it better than any of these other networks you listed. These networks don't have any animated series, so I don't think Futurama would have benefited from these networks.

ABC would have no idea what to do with it. Remember Clerks? But LayZ is right, those other networks have no other animated shows so they would probably have never picked it up in the first place.

To answer the question in the thread's title:
- Money. You know F*x would want an obscene amount of money for the rights to Futurama.
- More money: The other network would have to think they could turn a profit from the show.
- Fit: The other network would have to think Futurama would be a good fit with the rest of their program line-up.
So, between no's 1 & 2 above, the odds of another network buying the rights to Futurama ain't flamin' likely!And to no. 3 above, the only animated programming you'll find on other networks is for Saturday morning. Prime-time? Fuhgeduhbowtit!Translation? Unless F*x chooses to do something new with Futurama, we're boned, stoned, and pwned. I'll shut up now. For reprint's of this tirade, please send $4.95 to Farkle Press...

Originally posted by KurtPikachu2001: For example if Futurama had been shown on NBC, CBS, ABC None of those networks can handle anything edgy or offbeat, at least to the extent of "Futurama". It's a show that's simply too weird for networks like those. or even the WB. Don't be silly. No one watches WB. If Futurama was ressurected as an actual series again, it would need to be either on Fox or a cable network. None of the other free networks would work very well.

The only cartoon i watch outside of fox is the rift show on sci-fi..and south park...cartoon network OR coemdy central could do decent things with it.....but i dont see them picking up fox's sloppy seconds on the series
