It's Futurama's 12th Birthday today!

[on:]

Twelve years ago tonight, the Futurama pilot aired on Fox. I was eight years old.

I'm not sure why, but I find this exciting! I think it's because Futurama doesn't seem that old.

[Reply #1 on:]

Probably because it was cancelled for half that time.

[Reply #2 on:]

Well, obviously.

[Reply #3 on:]

Oh man I was 2...   Happy 12th Birthday anyway Futurama!

[Reply #4 on:]

Here's to many more to come.  And you smell like one too!

[Reply #5 on:]

Happy birthday, meatbags!

[Reply #6 on:]

2, lol. You really are a Futurama baby Danny!

I was 13. Hooray to Futurama almost being a teenager!

[Reply #7 on:]

You were 13 in 1999? I didn't realize you were that much older than me!

[Reply #8 on:]

I do skew young, don't I. My immaturity prevails again!

* futurefreak does the math again

Yup, 13. A newly turned 13.

[Reply #9 on:]

Hey, I was 13 then too.  No, wait… swap those digits around. Yeah, that's better.

Also, smell this milk.

[Reply #10 on:]

Was it really 12 years ago? The Simpsons wasn't even that old when Futurama started. Congrats to Futurama!...

[Reply #11 on:]

I was 3. God, it seemed like a long time ago.

[Reply #12 on:]

I think I was 15...

[Reply #13 on:]

I was 3. God, it seemed like a long time ago.

Indeed it was, I was 2, uhmm... *haargh...* 15.

[Reply #14 on:]

I was nearly 25...the same age as Fry.

[Reply #15 on:]

While I was pooping myself and chewing plastic I did not realise the greatest show ever had just been released upon the unsuspecting public... 

[Reply #16 on:]

And now, whilst pooping yourself and chewing plastic, you discuss it with other nerds on the internet. That's what I call a dozen years of progress.

[Reply #17 on:]

Huzzah!

happy birth day

happy birth day

You've certainly embiggened this thread with your cromulent post.  Going to post "I like x" in every thread with x the title now?

[Reply #20 on:]

Crud, I'm a day late. Happy Birthday, Futurama, from the woooorld of yesterdaaaay!!

Aw dip, was I really only fourteen when Futurama first premiered? I certainly didn't think I was young at the time. Also, I decided pretty quickly that it was the greatest show I'd ever seen.

Dip, indeed.

[Reply #21 on:]

Crud, I'm a day late.

I'm not sure this is the right thread for that, but a day isn't so much to worry about. They can vary, I've heard. You might want to see a doctor or buy a home test if it doesn't arrive within the next couple of days though!

And for God's sake, use protection the next time, so that you don't have to worry about this again!



















Yeah, I knew what she meant. Yeah, I'm terrible. Yeah, I'm not going to apologise for anything.

Nor did I expect you to. :P

Well, Happy B-day!

Don't hate on the n00b, TNUK.

Don't hate on the n00b, TNUK.

Says the other n00b.

Nah, I'm not hating on QM. She seems okay. If I recall correctly, she posted a picture of herself somewhere, and she's also a smoking hottie. Therefore she gets the seal of approval.



The rest of you can go jump in a burning hole full of garden waste.

I'm kidding. The rest of you can get back to the factory. Velociraptor blood doesn't squeeze itself, y'know.

[Reply #27 on:]

Plus Futurama was only cancled for 5 of those 12 years... So yay, .

[Reply #28 on:]

Hooray, I'm good enough! But "smoking hottie"? Pfffffff. Maybe in a Portland, Oregon "All the hot girls wear glasses" sort of way. But probably not even then.

[Reply #29 on:]

Happy Birthday Futurama!.

I was 9 when it premiered.

[Reply #30 on:]

"All the hot girls wear glasses"

Most of them do, QM. Most of them.

[Reply #31 on:]

I was 6 but I watched the pilot :P and I remember the ads like if it was yesterday

[Reply #32 on:]

Says the other n00b.

Nah, I'm not hating on QM.

I meant fanboy.

[Reply #33 on:]

Woohoo!

[Reply #34 on:]

I've been into Futurama for 12 years now!  It's still going strong, even though it got cancelled for a while!  Thank heavens it had a huge fanbase that brought it back!  It's better than ever and it's going to get better as well! 

It's helped me get through a lot in my life.  Of course there's been some disappointing moments, but hey, even good cartoons have their flaws!   It's so cool that it's been renewed until 2013!   Futurama forever!  Long live Fry and Bender! 

[Reply #35 on:]

I remember that night like it was yesterday! One episode is all it took to hook me!

Hard to believe it was 12 years ago!

[Reply #36 on:]

Here's to 12 more years! *burp*

[Reply #37 on:]

Kurt I thought you hated Fry?

[Reply #38 on:]

Someone 'round these parts hates Fry?

*runs to get pitchfork*

[Reply #39 on:]

I was 9.
wow...time goes by way too fast.
