He's already been eaten before by the giant fish, but he didn't die!!

Just remembered a gag from the *preview: Futurama characters as Scooby Doo characters. Bender is Scooby of course, Leela is Daphne, Fry is Shaggy, and I can't remember the rest. Probably won't sit well with you Scooby Doo purists, but then again nothing ever does. I feel like Futurama's done a Scooby Doo related joke or two, can't think of which episode(s) though...
*this preview i'm referring to from the Futurama Live event in SF Saturday is different from the preview of the episode act i previously posted about. this preview was played at the end, after Q&A, and was basically a mashup/trailer of the upcoming season. (basically i just want you all to know the "murder aboard the planet express" episode is not Blade Runner meets three-breasted Total Recall chick meets Scooby freaking Doo.) Bam

Oh neat! That comedy club where the premiere played is prob what someone in Gen Discussion was asking about (before we scared/pissed him off this site for good ). I can't wait. Also, what's with Leela accidentally eating Fry? Hmmm, I detect some much loaded Freudian symbolism here.

I see that South Park is now only doing ten episodes per year.
Although this was the SP creators choice, I could see FOX/CC doing this with Futurama, and another renewal (if it happens) may only consist of twenty shows.

That doesn't sound very economic.
Comedy Central doesn't seem to care how much new material of South Park is released. South Park IS Comedy Central. The network can just cruise along and remain in the green with just airing reruns.
Small note (literally): South Park, like Futurama, splits their season over two years. But, to have South Park stretch over the year, they split the yearly broadcast to two seasons as well. So, South Park does thirteen episodes a year, but they air six in one quarter and air the other seven in the other.
Futurama, however, is a production that becomes cheaper to produce with quantity. We remember the reasoning behind the four direct-to-dvd movies, right?

Also nothing beats the Scooby Doo sketch in Spaced.
By sketch, you mean one-line, one-shot gag, right? And The Venture Bros' take on Scooby Doo was better. I see that South Park is now only doing ten episodes per year.

As Frida said, it's not economical to produce most shows like this in small numbers. South Park is different because of how it's made on a week by week basis, plus Comedy Central will take any deal to keep Trey and Matt happy. 10 episodes or 14, they can still charge the same price for the DVDs at the end of the day. 20 episodes of Futurama might well happen, though, but that's hardly a small season - and that would be produced with intention of it airing over 1 year, rather than being split across two. I mean, 20 episodes would make it longer than seasons 1, 2 and 4.

What? Really, I had tried to apologize for the snarkiness of my original post and the others' (it was clear to me that they didn't know what you were referring to and thought your post was spam) and you respond with hostility now, and you did then. Nice.

Shouldn't this thread have been locked and a new thread have been posted ages ago?
The common mod -as member of the church of modolology- believes that a thread beyond page 20 will make the fabric of time and space collapse, ending the universe. Yet, as doomsday did NOT happen, they are in a crisis of faith right now, and also a rather grave state of shock. They will certainly get over it...but right now, we should leave them alone, as stress delays those poor souls recovery.

Ooooh didn't know about that, thanks for the info. sounds like it lost its edge but maybe some of the new episodes have interesting stuff
You know bare minimum about 7B and you hate Futurama, your opinions are garbage. Small note (literally): South Park, like Futurama, splits their season over two years.
What? A single season of South Park contains 14 episodes, 7 aired in Spring, and the other 7 aired in Autumn, not split over 2 years.

It's a privilege to post in a thread on peel past page 20; try not to ruin the opportunity! I only came here because DotheBartman posted, and I value his opinion greatly. So should we all!

Yes, I concur. DtBM is an insightful poster and I am happy to see him again (I don't really hang out in this thread too often). So more mutilation, huh? I wonder if Fry gives it up voluntarily, to save someone's life--because he is just that kind of guy! Hi, DtBM!

What the heck "steal" does mean in context? Is Fry already dead at that point?
It's the future... The future + the fact that it's Futurama = a billion possibilities...

One day left. Ugh. I know we still have February but I still feel bad about this...
We have until April according to people that were at SFSketchFest. Buy all the merch. such as dvd's, bd's, comics, toys, and shirts that you possibly can if you actually want more Futurama. Please everyone, won't you help save a show tonight? A show that after fourteen years and cancellation.. is stil better than most T.V. in the USA.
