When I said Futurama was coming back to C4 next month I was just quoting from their Futurama website. But that seems to have disappeared so I don't know if its back at all.

I couldn't believe C4 cut so much until i downloaded the first 2 seasons off the internet (before S3 had aired). HHRHGB was so much better with all the extra "Dirty Boy" stuff! The ITC allows Six Feet Under on C4 and The Sopranos on Five (I think) unedited but won't let "Dirty Boy!" on?!? Come on! That's unbelievable! Compared to America, anything goes on broadcast TV in the UK! Ugh. Well, that's why I listen to BBC Radio One and Radio 6 Music. (It's better than my local radio - if I was in DC or NYC I wouldn't have to - and commercial-free!) And I'm an American. I've got BBC Radio 6 Music on right now. My parents don't like R1's music, but I do.

Yeppers, and on the Internet. They don't even have to broadcast and it's on the Internet.

right I thank everyone who provided me with information as to when I could catch the next episodes here in the UK. Now I am once again faced with the same problem. Does anyone know when the next episode will be shown in the UK?

Originally posted by lovablerascal: This is the exact problem everywhere, TV execs, the BBFC and others hate Futurama for its content, its cannibalised of good jokes and aired at 8.00 AM in school breaks and gets the same for a 6.00PM viewing (All on Channel 4). The slow paced humor of the first episode may have deterred potential viewers, the sad fact all its run its been compared to the Simpsons and is a sci fi show! Futurama needs a solid and appropriate slot, i dont blame the creators for this blunder, as they made it good, i blame the overly critical reviewers, the closed minded Simpson fans. Futurama should be relaunched all over the shop at 8.30 PM for the Audience who will watch it. Get real, Futurama at 8.30pm isn't going to happen. It never even happened for the Simpsons. The reason is, British terrestrial channels like to put British content on in primetime, with the exception of C4 Fridays 9 to 10pm. I don't mind this, because I think Futurama at 6.30pm on a weekday is as good as it'll get, because the alternative is probably midnight or later. As for the censorship, it was much better in season 3 (anyone see War Is The H-Word?), although there were a few pointless cuts.
