No I dont think they will air them this Summer n dont forget there are quite a few left at least as far as I know. Id rather they cancel the show in early May so CN can air the unaird eps n then we would be able to see all the left unaird eps before July rather then having to wait until late Aug n with CN the show would air at a better time.

Yes – they will show the last 8 in June/July/August. Summer is the time of year when networks know overall TV viewing is down with outdoor activities, vacations, etc. Ratings carry less weight and traditionally it's a dumping ground where networks will show both reruns and reruns of reruns (I will guarantee at least one more showing of “Large Marge” on the Simpsons), passed over (for very clear reasons) prospective series pilots, reality/game shows (although they have taken over prime time as of late) and assorted other *cheap* programs.
I've read (maybe here) that FOX's plan is to show more new programming this summer against the other network's reruns in an attempt to gain viewers, thus guaranteeing they will see plenty of promos for FOX's fall shows. Most will be stuff like "World's Blankiest Blank", "Thousandaire Masked Bachelor With a Secret" and burn offs of episodes from cancelled series that are already paid for anyway. Anything that is cheap to produce, but new. I know for a fact one series will be an American Idol show with kids. I can't wait to see a judge tell a 9 year old she is horrible singer who better learn how to flip burgers because she will never amount to anything.
Not only will they show the final 8 Futuramas, we may actually see a little promotion on their part, touting "While the other guys show reruns, FOX has all new episodes of..." programming blocks.

I think If we're lucky, we might get 3 or 4 new eps during the summer. 1 or 2 in June, 1 in July, and 1 in August.. if we're lucky As for the other ep's, who knows?

Couriers and airmail is pretty effecient fred. I might live in Australia, but my Futurama DVDs (and my red dwarf ones) are british. Europe might be 1 year ahead of America, but here we are only 6months ahead of u. But I know that around June 7th I'll have season3, why wait?

And that will be it. Because it can't last much longer.

The Simpsons Movie will be made shortly, and FOX is supposedly examining the option of taking the TV sereis out of production, and spawning a whole host of Simpsons Movies providing that the first one is successful. FOX are also rumoured to be talking to Matt Groening about a Futurama Movie. Matt is saying "Yes Please" and Fox are saying "BOW TO US THEN". So a Futurama Movie is unlikely. Hopefully Futurama will have some higher ratings as the end nears, and by its death it will be a huge hit for FOX despite the mistreatment. Just to piss 'em off!

Actually, the Simpsons SHOULD last for three more seasons. If FOX decides to end its production, it will at least give it one more "farewell season", which would be the 17th season.
Back on-topic, Futurama should air in summer, as FOX is usually estatic when it comes to summer. NBC, though, miserably failed when they wanted to do "all-new summer programming". But FOX knows how to get there viewers, and they will defintely run the remaining Futurama's. In fact, Futurama can even surivive at least 4 pre-emptions during summer and STILL make it. I can see the promos now...
"Are you starting to fear summer reruns? [cue Pschyo music] No worries, FOX has that taken care of! We've got all-new shows to last you through summer and then some! "Junior Idol", "World's Biggest Crap" and "Mary Millionare: The Woman Traitor" are just some of the new shocking reality TV coming to you! Also is NEW episodes of "Cedric" and "Futurama" [cue actual 2 second Futurama clip!] This summer...on FOX!"
