Though, looking at what they did last year with The Simpsons, they might show pre-made, faux animatics as to not reveal anything about the new stuff. I'm personally not sure who is going to be on the Futurama panel, if it's been announced yet.
I agree with you on most of that, Ralph. I don't think that Comedy Central will just let the thing be shown at 10pm and onward and die out. They'll pair it with South Park to get maximum ratings. If Futurama just gets only decent ratings, it's a pretty sure bet that it'll be back. They don't want to have paid so much money for the show just to get 16 more episodes.
Due to all these factors, with the greatest being money, I'm fairly confident that there will be more Futurama after these movies, as I bet most of you are. Yes, we've been fooled many times into believing that Futurama would be back and then it turns out it wouldn't, but I think the stars are finally aligning for us.

I went to the Comic-Con 2007 website to see when and who would be on the Futurama panel. It said it will be on Saturday, July 28th. Here's a short summary: 3:30-4:30 Futurama—Matt Groening is proud to announce the long-awaited return of the animated sci-fi comedy classic Futurama! Matt and executive producer David X. Cohen will be on the dais, accompanied by writer Ken Keeler, animation directors Peter Avanzino and Dwayne Carey-Hill, and for the first time together on stage in any universe, actors Billy West (Fry), Katey Sagal (Leela), John DiMaggio (Bender), and Maurice LaMarche (Kif Kroker)! The cast and crew will entertain your questions and present a sneak peek at Bender’s Big Score! in glorious wide-screen format! Moderated by Bill Morrison. Ballroom 20 Also, here's some other Futurama related things going on at Comic-Con: Thursday July 26th: 2:00-3:00 Bongo Comics Sneak Peek—Bongo Comics offers a mouth-watering preview of upcoming projects featuring The Simpsons and Futurama. Managing editor Terry Delegeane and creative director Bill Morrison host a panel featuring the writers and artists who create the comics and books based on Matt Groening’s phenomenal TV shows. Find out what’s in the future for Futurama Comics and what to expect in Simpsons Comics and Simpsons Super Spectacular. Plus, Thomas Lennon (Reno 911), Tone Rodriguez (Violent Messiahs), and Gerry Duggan (The Last Christmas) will be on hand to talk about their terrifying contributions to this fall’s star-studded issue of Bart Simpson’s Treehouse of Horror! This is a ”must-attend” panel for all fans of The Simpsons and Futurama—and anyone looking for a place to sit down! Room 3
Saturday July 28th: 10:30-12:00 Animation Writers Caucus: Holy Bleep, Batman! or Censorship and Animation—What can't you say in a cartoon? What can't you show? Why? Who says? Writers and producers of daytime and primetime animated television series tell tales out of school about what they didn't get to do and what they got away, in a panel sponsored by the Writers Guild of America's Animation Writers Caucus. Featuring panelists Alan Burnett (Batman), Aaron Ehasz (Avatar), Eric Kaplan (The Drinky Crow Show), Craig Miller (Curious George), Andrew Nichols (Jimmy Neutron, Will & Dewitt), and Patric Verrone (Futurama). Room 8
10:45-12:00 The Simpsons–Having just aired its 400th episode, The Simpsons has now released its first feature film. Join members of the team responsible for both and find out how they did it, including Matt Groening (creator and executive producer), Al Jean (executive producer/head writer), David Mirkin (former executive producer), Matt Selman (executive producer), Michael Price (co-executive producer), David Silverman (director of The Simpsons Movie), Matt Warburton (supervising producer), Don Payne (consulting producer), and Yeardley Smith (voice of Lisa Simpson).

God I so wish I lived in America and could go to the Comic Con this year, damn! It sounds like the event we've all been waiting so many years for! Whoever does go better record the clips and post them on YouTube, or everyone will go all Roberto about it... Originally posted by futz: Since speculation can run amok here I wonder since the Direct-to-DVD movie and the Comedy Central cablecasts will be somewhat different in content, if eventually the CC episodes will be released on DVD too as a separate set. That is a question I have wondered too. Now here is another question; if, as it suggests, the movies on DVD are going to be widescreen then will the episodes be broadcast on TV in widescreen too? And if not and they are broadcast on TV in full screen, then if they do release them as episodes on DVD as well then will they be full screen on DVD like on TV? My heads hurting...

Knowing how the people who attend the San Diego Comic Con are, it's a sure thing that an hour or two after the panel, it'll already have well over 1,000 hits on both YouTube and Digg.
