If Futurama were to return to tv (yeah I know, wishful thinking), what would you like to see on the commercial announcing its return? I thought maybe the Professor saying "Good news everyone..." and then telling the news (though this one is not very original), or Zapp Brannigan saying "I knew Fox wouldn't make it half way to Vergon 6 before THE CRAVING sets in and they came crawling back for some more sweet, sweet candy!" (From Love's Labor's Lost in Space)

I'd sponsor a multi-million dollar fireworks show if Fred's scenario came true. Then, the Cubs and the Red Sox will go to the World Series (in the same year), and in the bottom of the ninth, with the batting team trailing by one, with the bases loaded, and full count on the batter, the world will abruptly come to an end.
Imagine this, though: To the Futurama theme, the FOX announcer comes on, and says something like: "Good news, everyone! Our three plucky heroes, Bender, Fry, and Leela, have made a triumphant return! Stay tuned for an all new episode of Futurama next season! While you're waiting, we'll give you all 72 episodes, in their original glory, so those of you who couldn't keep up with our archaic airsing system can catch up! Futurama - every Sunday night at 8:30, right after the Simpsons!"
Of course, it would be written better, and cleaned up, but that's something like what I'd want to see.

Mmmm, yeah that'd be great if the first new title caption was "We're BAAACK!!" or "Cancellation This".

Screen shows flashbacks of past episodes,meanwhile a voice comes on saying the following: "Do you remember Futurama? Do you remember our favorite heros named Fry,Bender and Leela? All the adventures they made across the universe? Well,it's canclled." The screen goes blank. "Ya right! Us canclled?" Screen shows footage of new episodes. "Come join Fry,Bender,Leela and the rest of the crew on more fun,adventure and ship to ship intimacy . Now on Friday nights at 8:30." Screen shows the Professor naked (in X-mas story). "Who said old people aren't sexy?" Fred's commercial is cool too.

Blank screen.
Stars fade in gradually, and the starfield revolves slowly. The opening chords from Star Trek play.
[Announcer, offscreen - strangely familiar voice]:
Space. The final adventure. Where anything is possible, and brave heroes go boldly to do things that nobody with any sense could imagine.
Camera pulls back, and we see that the speaker is Zapp Brannigan. He is standing with one leg up on the arm of his Captain's chair. Kif is sheilding his eyes from the view, as Zapp's skirt rides high.
[Zapp]: Kif! What's for lunch?
The Futurama title sequence starts and then the FOX announcer's voice cuts in.
[Announcer]: Futurama is back! The zany futuristic comedy returns for three more seasons, starting this Saturday at seven PM.
The PX ship crashes into the screen.
Cut to Fry from Space Pilot 3000, saying "Ya-hoo!". Cut to Leela, from TSHL, saying "If everybody's finished being stupid?" Cut to Cubert, from ACOMO, saying "That's impossible!"
Fade to black.
[Announcer]: Don't forget to tune in at seven on weekdays to catch classic epsiodes from the first four seasons of Futurama, which are now available on FOX DVD.
End.

I'd like to see the Professor saying "Good News Everyone!" then in the background hear Bender say "We're Boned" Then right at the end have Calculon saying "Throw in some action shots of me then shove it on the air!"

The caption for episode 73 should read:
Phoenix or Zombie?

Month 1--develop a pilot for a new show, the script for which has been sitting on a shelf for years. Announce FOX's new fall lineup, including this new "family comedy" starring, say, Jeff Goldblum and Rita Rudner as parents of three precocious kids.
Month 2--set up interviews with the stars of this new comedy, and have them hype up the show as being one of the "newest, freshest" ideas FOX has ever had.
Month 3--launch an all-out media campaign to promote the new show, and debut it on some historic occasion (holiday, immediately following a sports event, etc).
Month 4--Premiere the show and get halfway through it. It is typical, family-safe re-hash. During the second segment, the doorbell rings. Jeff Goldblum answers it. There stands Bender, holding a laser rifle. Without a word, he fries the cast one by one, as the "Futurama" cast enter and start tearing down the set...literally; we're left with nothing but a white screen. Workers like Sal and various robots move in the "Futurama" sets and props, and the show continues from there, like nothing happened.
