New DXC interview (minor general spoilers)

It is good to see that even after years of off time fans can make enough of a difference to get a show back on its feet. (^_^)

in the words of  andrew "old hickory" jackson, hero of the battle of new orleans and seventh president of the united states, HOT DAMN THIS FUCKING OWNS!

It's starting to seem like this is actually going to happen.

Right. Now for Farscape and Firefly.

Strange journalism though, at first they claim that it is "TRUE OMG OMG OMG", yet further down they say it is a "rumour about the official production".  Make up your minds, please?

Though, so far no official word from Comedy Central or The Curiosity Company.

I'd recommend paying attention to The Futon Critic, as they usually only do official news.

"and if new episodes do make it to Comedy Central's doorstep, disappointed fanboys across the universe will have one less thing in life to be disappointed about."

IF is the word that stands out for me, like svip said aswell, they seem to have mixed the rumour and "fact".
ill admit, i really am getting my hopes up.

Bold?  Underline?  Italic?  Small font size?  It must be official.

I'm not really bothered either way, I was more than happy with the way it ended in ITWGY yet it'd be brilliant to see more (providing it was up to scratch of course, otherwise I'd prefer them to leave it well alone). It's a win win situation for me.

I wouldn't get too carried away though, all the sites posting this rumour are citing exactly the same source. Just because a few sites have picked up on it doesn't mean that it's any more credible.

It is looking relatively promising though.

To Gorky from previous threads: it's always funnier to have it be taken care of in the quickest way possible.


And here's links to the other two threads:
Will there be any new Futurama after the movies? Now with added rumormongering!
Will we hear about a New Season at Comic-Con

see, doubters? andrew jackson is never wrong unless it comes to banking!

[Reply #16 on:]

Well holy shit!

[Reply #17 on:]

I'm going to allow this.

[Reply #18 on:]

26 new episodes?!  hot damn!

[*Stunned silence*]

[Reply #20 on:]

I think the most stunning thing is there was no real build-up to the announcement like there was with the movies. It just kinda happened.

[Reply #21 on:]

wow....WE SERIOUSLY NEED TO PARTY........my house......tonight......lets roll

[Reply #22 on:]

Something's seriously wrong with the 'verse that I ended up learning of this via TrekMovie.com.

[Reply #23 on:]

I think this calls for some celebratory looting!

Be careful that you don't come down with some kind of fever.

Ok, I was just gonna lurk here until I got unbanned but this is just too awesome!

Recently, I've been kinda busy with college and an anime called Haruhi Suzumiya as some may know. BUT NOW LIFE IS WONDERFUL AGAIN!

[Reply #28 on:]

This just turned an awful day into a great one I can't wait. Comedy Central will let them go further with the writing and the show could be better than ever.

[Reply #29 on:]

Good news. But, it's probably not going to be as good as it used to be.

Just saying, is all…

[Reply #30 on:]

Dick.

[Reply #31 on:]

Great news! Just a shame they won't be available to see until in around a years time and since I live in the UK I don't have comedy central so will probably have to wait even longer. That said, the internet usually provides answers to such problems.

Be interesting to see what happens next and I'm certainly looking forward to finding out.

I just hope the episodes are as brilliant as they should be but whilst I loved ITWGY I still feel it's more suited to a 22 minute format.

[Reply #32 on:]

Fantastic!

The Hypnotoad really came through.

Welcome back Futurama!  We're all still here waiting for you.

[Reply #33 on:]

This is awesome that it's actually happening! EEEEE I can't wait!

[Reply #34 on:]

I am so happy!!!!!!!!!!!! WE DID IT GUYS

26 episodes?! Oh my.

[Reply #37 on:]

Will be available in mid 2010 on CC? Well, it's almost less than a year of waiting already. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE EE indeed!!

[Reply #38 on:]

I'm more concerned as to how I'll see it...I may have to resort to...hmm...

[Reply #39 on:]

we can get comedy central in  the uk via sky tv.
do you yhink it will be on there or will we have to wait longer?
