It looks like the savages that run FOX will tease us once more with a "new" episode of Futurama. Let's see if they actually show it this time. They teased me once before and I am still angry about that. It's one thing to entice people to watch a bad show by showing a good show before it, but it's different when they just say they're going to show the good show before the bad one and wind up just showing two episodes of the bad show. I'll do this to FOX if they don't -> ..and then this-> -- (yeah, I just learned how to use those extra thingies) I'm not too familar with the episodes as they appear in seasons. Is Cartoon Network still showing Season 1 or have they moved into Season 2 without me noticing? C McG

They aired last week's episode, and believe me, they're airing this one. The local affiliates have already received the satellite feed, and said feed was intercepted by Internet pirates. They don't hace much of a choice now.

Yea since some people have already seen the ep Id say someone had to have intercepted it as it was being sent. Sometimes you hate those nerds at the NSA who abuse there power, but for doing things like this you gotta love em at times.

Bender: Hey, there's no law against graverobbing piracy. Seriously tho, nothing wrong with a little piracy to balance out the scales. They steal from us, we steal from them. It's how capitalism works. Really, if anyone desrves to be stolen from, it's FOX. (Besides, we'll still all watch it when it airs on TV.)

Well, they accepted it, then immediately decided they didn't like it.
And Cartoon Network is actually more than halfway through season 3. They're nearly done with the episdoes they have.

Well, they accepted it, then immediately decided they didn't like it. And then they decided that since they didn't like it, no-one else should like it either and proceeded to destroy all evidence of its existence, such as their TV schedules, DVD release dates and all its fan sites.

FOX said, "We'll take it!" FOX got Futurama and said, "This is nothing like The Simpsons." Matt said, "It's new and original; it's never been done before, and that's just like The Simpsons." I think that's from some commentary, S1, I think. "I, Roommate" I think. CN is going through for the third time I think.

CN is going through for the third time I think. According to the commentary, I, Roommate was done to please the FOX execs, and what was the result in their opinion: Worst. Episode. Ever.

Gee, I dunno. If I was running a network and I had already poured money into a show, I'd try giving it some actual promotion before cancelling it and rendering it a complete waste of money.
