Futurama wins Outstanding Animated Program emmy!

[on:]

That's the official word.

For the record, a couple of years ago, Family Guy was about to be cancelled, but an Emmy award made FOX reverse their decision (though they later cancelled it anyway).

Since FOX hasn't necessarily said it's "cancelled" yet, the Emmy will definitely help.

Damn straight it's an Outstanding Animated Program.

Take that, Lisa Simpson, queen of the politically correct!

Here's a more specific link - as you can see, the "award winner" gif is SUPPOSED to be next to Futurama, so I'm assuming that's confirmation to any doubters.

Woo-hoo!!  There is still sanity in the entertainment industry.  This can only help renewal prospects.

[Reply #3 on:]

*gasp* B-but... this is GOOD news! How can that be!

Samurai Jack should've won the other award, though.

[Reply #4 on:]

Well let's just hope fox will rethink it's position towards futurama now... 1) emmy 2) cartoon network paid a big sum for the 4 seasons

What's the price on the street like over there in Florida?

[Reply #10 on:]

That is good news  I hope Fox has a rethink now.

[Reply #11 on:]

I am very optimistic person but I think that FOX is somehow going to blew this thing... 

[Reply #12 on:]

Take that all you who has never won an Emmy, and that includes you Amy!!

Great news. A welldeserved Emmy to on of Futurama finest episodes. Let's hope this helps getting us a 5th production season.

::buys some happy from Venus, for his own use::

Futurama and good news in the same sentance! If anyone working for Fox has more than one brain cell, then Futurama might have a chance.

[Reply #14 on:]

Thi9s could give futurama a chance, although FOX will probably cancel it later.

[Reply #15 on:]

Go Futurama!

[Reply #16 on:]

Wow this is good news.
Problem is other shows, Farscape for example have just won a few awards but it has just been cancelled. Hopefully this will not be the cae with Futurama.

Good news indeed. Maybe FOX will learn someday. Maybe they will learn tomorrow. Hmmmmm. maybe not. But maybe someday.

[Reply #18 on:]

Pinky and the brain and ren and stimpy won a Emmy too and look how far they got!   

[Reply #19 on:]

Well done to Futurama!  Fox better have a rethink!

Well, this would have to be a rather large IF

[Reply #27 on:]

I thought the emmys were supposed to be the 22nd, so I missed it.  I guess the animated program category isn't shown then or something.  I wish I could have watched it.

[Reply #28 on:]

  Wha? Can my eyes be deceiving me now? Has finally a show that deserved an award actually won an award? Praise be to Allah!

Leela: "..(an Emmy) in what field?"
Farnworth: "Doesn't matter. They all pay the same."

[Reply #29 on:]

Yay! Hazzah! Etc...go Futurama!

[Reply #30 on:]

YAY! I liked both Futurama and Simpsons episodes. I thought for sure Simpsons was going to win, but I guess I was proved wrong. This totally rocks! This may change FOX's mind about Futurama. But I doubt it will. At least it's going to 7:30.

[Reply #31 on:]

Hooray! Fox will never reconsider, but at least now David X. and co. will have something to wave around whenever some network idiot says their show stinks.

[Reply #32 on:]

And it will rack in a few more viewers..

EDIT: Finally, I'm a Bending Unit. Hazzah.

[Reply #33 on:]

Whu...what? No, I must be dreaming, please tell me it isn't a dream, please.

Time to sacrifice more virgins to the deities of television. That last batch must have made them happy.

[Reply #34 on:]

[Nichole Nichols/] "...and they were excuted in the manner most befitting of virgins..."

[Officer/](throwing Trekkie into the lava) "He's dead, Jim."

[Reply #35 on:]

Mmmmmm . . . . excecuting trekies.

[Reply #36 on:]

This is good new's. I'd like to rub it in a few choice face's of Fox.

[Reply #37 on:]

Yes! Here hoping for a Fox turnaround.....

[Reply #38 on:]

Wow, this is good! Go Futurama!

Walking with Prehistoric Beasts? I remember that, not as good as walking with Dinosaurs, Samurai Jack should have won.

::edit::
homerjaysimpson, you realize they are making new episodes of Ren and Stimpy now...

[Reply #39 on:]

Finally! The right things are still happening in the world, like in that good old time of elves, dwarves, wizards and other orcs. :-)
Yeah, maybe it means we’ll see a really all-new season of Futurama. Six or maybe even seven.
Of course, there’s yet a possibility that it was only a mistake...
