Originally posted by PCC Fred: Good point, EspanolBot. That fact that FOX haven't carried on Futurama despite it's obvious popularity in terms of CN ratings and DVD sales suggests one of two things. Either FOX are really, really dumb, or their reasons for cancelling Futurama aren't financially motivated. As happy as I am for the succes Futurama have on CN, we have to remember the C in CN stand for Cartoon. Meaning that the people who watch Adult Swim are allready cartoon-fans. Transfering the ratings from the Adult Swim audience to a general segment, such as the one that watch FOX, isn't as straight-forward as we would like it to be. And as far as I've heard the Futurama DVD's are making good sales, but not Family Guy numbers (why, only the Gods know).

So how'd they get the numbers for that? Here in Ontario, if you have satellite or digital cable, the ratings thing is already in the reciever...but I'm not too sure what the deal is for le states.

Originally posted by TheLampIncident: I think the best thing you can do to get Futurama back is to buy the DVDs. It worked for Family Guy, people bought the DVDs left and right, ratings were incredible on Adult Swim, and now Family Guy's coming back for a fourth season! Doesn't that kick ass? So buy Futurama DVDs, keep it on your TV when it airs, and who knows. I'm sure stranger things have happened. I agree! The DVD sales are number 10 on Yahoo.com right now.
