Futurama Worldwide

[on:]

I would like to know if anyone knows in what countries Futurama is broadcast.

[Reply #1 on:]

I think we had a thread about this, but it was last year so I don't blame you for starting a new one.

I know it airs in the UK, USA and used to in Australia.

Very big in Germany, from what I gather. Although having experienced German TV first-hand a few years back, anything more state-of-the-art than Are You Being Served? would probably do well over there!

[Reply #3 on:]

A few more countries are listed here

[Reply #4 on:]

And the rest is covered by CGEF even though, they still haven't updated it

[Reply #5 on:]

Thank you!

Note to Sera:
"Coming soon to an illegal DVD"

I know for a fact they show it everyday in UBC in Thailand. And since Lesotho Leela showed up, I'm wondering if they show it in parts of Africa. I know it's pretty basic in most of Europe, but I'm more interested about other countries.

They stopped broadcasting it here in The Netherlands. I've still seen every episode though. Got a cousin who sends tapes now and then, and if those don't arrive, i always get them somewhere else

Belgium is incorrect, they stopped doing that a while ago.

[Reply #13 on:]

Yeah, I know. Denmark is incorrect too, sorta. They stopped after season 2, but I got an email yesterday promising me they'll air seasons 3 and 4 this fall.

Try contacting mArc or Andie through CGEF if you want 'em to upgrade the TV schedule.

In Latin America Fox LA airs Futurama in cable. And I have heard that it has good ratings.

[Reply #15 on:]

England, America, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Eire, Spain, Portugal, Australia, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, Denmark, Singapore and...

Sorry. Wrong! I heard news that Belgium stopped temporarily to show their own cartoons that had been made, and is being re-started later on this year.

Everything else ok? 

[Reply #22 on:]

It's shown here on the cable channel FOX8, and the regular network station channel 7 had the option of purchasing season 3, but they didn't and as far as season 4 goes I don't think any of the networks decided to buy it. That means it should be on cable in a few months.

that's because channel 7 are fucking dumbasses
"oh, lets not show any of the good tv shows that we buy, let's fill up the programming schedule with grrrreat australian drama and lifstyle programs!! australia loves to watch them!! oh, and let's show sabrina the witch twice! but we won't sell any of our good shows to other channels which would actually show them, because when we did the before we're now left crying like little whiny bitches!! boo fucking hoo" - Some guy who works at channel 7
      


...what?

[Reply #24 on:]

Ten actually beat channel 7 in the monthly ratings for the first time in about 6 years the other day. Poetic justice.

[Reply #25 on:]

hmm Spain's wrong too in that CGEF list... they are showing 3rd season now, Saturdays and Sundays at 1 pm

Andie, Marc, update the list! 

[Reply #26 on:]

Well they started season 3 in germany and cancelled it right after the first rumors about cancelling futurama appeared. they even cancelled the comic after the second release.     

we get everything years late or never! well the definitly can kiss my shiny...

BUT finally I got them all..... another way.
*thxtop2p*

I once saw "When Aliens Attack" when I was in Lanzarote, off the coast of Africa. It was in Spanish.

no, i'm sorry that's not true. and both planetexpress.dk and cgef need an update there.
they stopped showing futurama in germany because it wasn't succesful enough. which doesn't surprise me as the german voice actors all suck.
but it still is a pity that they cancelled it...

[edit]i just noticed apogee pointed that out already.[/edit]

Well its coming back to CH4 in the summer line up. Also when The Simpsons starts on CH4 next year i think we will see Futurama back.

[Reply #34 on:]

He! You forget about Russia!
Our REN-TV showed seasons 1-3. And now we are getting the next one, from different FTP places .

welcome to the board of no return, Loki! 

[Reply #37 on:]

hurray..i`m watching Futurama all arround the world!!

[Reply #38 on:]

You forgot some: India (the show is broadcast on Starworld), and ISRAEL where i'm from. I now about the program before it reached to Israel. My friend gave me almost all of Futurama's episodes on the computer, but I have some I need to find in order to complete all of the four seasons...

[Reply #39 on:]

Welcome to PEEL, Fry!

It looks like the only place not broadcasting Futurama is the U.S.!
