Hello All, <I think I have it straight this time> <Okay, here goes> <deep breath>
I got to thinking about the future of Futurama. It boils down to a question of money. Fox has some, but it's extremely unlikely that they'll order fresh eps. CN treats Futurama a helluvalot better than Fox, but probably can't afford to buy fresh eps, at least not for the same price. In other words, that'll probably mean lower production standards. ABC, CBS, or NBC? Not flamin' likely. UPN? Yeah right. WB? Fugeduhboudit. Syndication? Iffy at best. So here's my question: If MG, DXC, et al, managed to produce, say, about a dozen fresh ep's a year and released them direct to DVD, would you buy them? And, yes, I know my question presumes a lot. So let's hear it. Sound off!
PS. My abject apologies for screwing up the first time and cluttering up the 'board.

If they could make it of the same quality then yes, I already buy the DVDs of the episodes shown on TV... that said DVD sales wouldn't come close to paying for the production of the episodes so the question is fairly academic.

Originally posted by alexvilagosh: yep id buy it definately. but i think the futurama episodes are getting worse, this new season isnt up to season 3+4. Uh... this IS season four. The episodes we're seeing now were produced as fourth season eps, but weren't aired as such. So, "Where No Fan Has Gone Before", "Leela's Homeworld", "Jurassic Bark", "The Why of Fry" are all 4th season - and I think very strong episodes. Anyway, yeah, I'd buy anything ever released on DVD.

You bet your sweet ass, I'd buy it. If the writing is as strong as we've witnesed on the network episodes, and the animation doesn't drop significantly (ie, I could live with less 3d-animation) I'd be a great idea.

Strength of writing matters, strength of production matters, but not quite so much. I agree with Tweek though, the question is academic, they'd never make enough money from sole DVD sales to justify the production of a season.
The only way to do that would be to, hey, MAKE A MOVIE!
I voted that I would buy the DVD though, that goes without saying.
