I've been trying to find out if the new Futurama episodes will be shown in Canada or not. I found a short little blurb on tvguide.ca that says no. I can confirm that The Comedy Network has zero plans to air the animated series this summer — or fall. And Teletoon, which currently airs repeats, also hasn’t acquired the rights but are looking into it for the future. I will definitely keep you posted. Here is the link: http://tvguide.ca/Watercooler/You+Asked/Articles/100607_askamber_AD.htm

That is a bummer, sneak over the line force an American family at gun point. " Give me Futurama or give me a couple months in prison."

I imagine DVD's would be released eventually or sooner since the movies proved to be a good source of juicey revenue. Can't see them waiting too long to tap some of that in this economy.

Same situation here in Germany. Is there already a release date for the new season on DVD in the States?

comedycentral.com just redirects me to http://www.thecomedynetwork.ca. Must be because I have a Canadian IP address. I just emailed Global to see if they have plans to show it. They were the first to air "Bender's Big Score". I'll let you know if I get a reply.

There have been no announcements on DVDs of the new season yet. For all we know, we'll never have them on DVD. However, given Fox loves money, I'm sure they'll be out within a year or two. A large reason for it coming back is strong DVD sales, so of course they'll be released on DVD. The first episode hasn't even aired yet, so it's no surprise there's no DVD details yet...

I've searched far and wide and can't find any article on when it's airing in the UK or Europe or even if any channels have decided to show it. We have comedy central here in the Uk so i'm hoping they would air it on that but... Was hoping it would be airing here quickly enough so I could give my viewing to it on TV and not the net.

Of course not. The rest of the world doesn't exist to the USA.
That's not true! We need our minions.

I am able to access the Comedy Central website through my iPhone, which I am glad...so I finally got to watch the Recap-o-rama video. So if Comedy Central will show the new Futurama episodes, then I will be able to watch it on my iPhone.
That's a clever workaround to the region restrictions; I didn't know that worked.
Regardless, there are many workarounds for the people outside of America -- or who don't get Comedy Central -- to see the new episodes of Futurama.
It's a shame that Global or the Comedy Network aren't simul-casting the new Futurama episodes -- but the same thing happens with new South Park episodes. (Although our Comedy Network doesn't bleep the swears, which is awesome!) It's annoying that Global isn't airing the new episodes considering that it's summer, and they're only showing reruns anyway.

hey the past few days ive been looking up the time the new episodes will air in my area, i found them but its not listed on our tv guide (we have shaw digital) its also not listed on comedys website at all.
i live in canada and when i google futurama it comes up with the "official futurama homepage" and it says the page is at comedycentral.com (which it should be) but when i click it i get redirected to the comedynetwork.ca main page and they have no info about futurama at all.
are we not getting the new futurama in canada or something? why cant i find the new episodes?

ya ctv owns them
Wrong. lilkitten29 is correct. Global and Teletoon have the rights to air Futurama in Canada. I believe that Global has the exclusive rights to new episodes (it aired Into the Wild Green Yonder a few months ago when FOX aired primetime NASCAR that night), whereas Teletoon has the rights to the reruns. Global has always been the Canadian network that has aired Futurama, because they've simul-casted FOX's Sunday night line-up for at least 15 years. CTV has never aired any Futurama episodes.

I hate that we can't watch it on TV in Canada. What makes it worse is we don't even get the new episodes on iTunes here!
Thank god for the internet, at least it allows me to watch the show.
