Yeah, TV does attract new fandom better. Got me in. I tuned in to watch Family Guy and found Futurama instead. Now I never watch Family Guy.
Futurama is AS number 1 rated show. Family Guy may be returning to FOX, but you just can't watch it like Futurama. You get sick of it. Plus, with Futurama, you'll often notice things, (such as signs) that you didn't notice before, which really renews your love for the show.
Of course, FOX really only cares about the revenue. They canned shows without a care. Remeber this one show I watched awhile back on FOX. It got 4 episodes before it was canceled.
Eventually Futurama will fade. But probably not for a few more years. Then they'll start showing it on TV Land, you you'll know the theme song by heart, just like with The Brady Bunch Here's the story, of a lovely lady...
TOTPD!

Yeah, though on TBS it's on at a pretty bad time. It might attract insomniacs. But if CN notices that Futurama has great ratings, over 200,000 more than Family Guy, when FG's on at 11 and Fut. is on at 11:30(!), that CN'll order some shows, maybe even tempt Fox into bringing it back. I mean, almost all of Futurama is on The Simpsons, so new episodes wouldn't be that far away, if they order now, maybe later this year! But that's just one of the best case scenerios.

Original Poster: i_c_weiner Yeah, though on TBS it's on at a pretty bad time. It might attract insomniacs.

But that's just one of the best case scenerios. -What do you mean that Cartoon Network will "order some shows"? As far as I know, they only own broadcast rights, not production rights. (FOX owns production rights, as well as broadcast rights.) -Sorry, but I don't understand when you say "almost all of Futurama is on The Simpsons". What do you mean by this? Are you talking about references or what? -If Futurama suddenly came into production now (which is highly unlikely, especially since they'd need to bring in voice talent, make contracts, etc...), it'd be at least 6 months to 1 year before we saw new episodes. -I do agree that the TBS airing of Futurama is horrible. They could stick it after Family Guy's one hour block. (Whenever that is.)

By order some shows, I forgot about production rights, so you got that. By almost all of Futurama is on The Simpsons, I meant the producion team. Yeah, the chance for the Futurama random come back is...well, random. It would be the fall season. I think the FG Block is on Wednesdays.

Channel 4 in the UK had a Simpsons special Christmas Message made for them by fox. I think it is posible that if a channel can pay enough they might persuade fox to make more futurama (Spacifically for their channel).
