Yes. During a Simpsons commercial. I couldn't believe my eyes. I guess they learned from CN what a little promoting can do.

From "The Sting" I guess. I can only remember Leela standing in a room saying what she said and Hermes and Amy doing roller disco.

Yeah. Run ads AFTER you've cancelled the show. That's irony for ya.

WOW! Truly? This is the first time in about 3 years! Maybe they're trying to see if they could bring it back... Probably not though, just milking the last episodes so they can get everyone really excited for the "Series Finale" in a few weeks.

That IS incredible. Although I seriously doubt we'll see any more eps. Did someone over at FOX get fired?
BTW, I just got a call from my buddy "downstairs". (Yeah, WAY downstairs.) He said "Damn, it's f$cking cold down here!"

hehe.
I'm sure Fox is just being their own stupid self. Don't expect more episodes. If it does well, they'll just accidentally cancel it or something. :P

Heh, as pathetic as Fox's promotion for the show is, its not TOTALLY unheard of to air an ad. I think I remember some during season three, like a "When Penguins Attack" joke one for an obvious episode and one where the Fox lights blind pilots for Fox's plane crash scenes in the Harold Zoid one (for some reason I just forgot the title). Last season I remember one or two for the reruns they were doing on Thursday out of desperation to fill those slots, when Family Guy was often taking up an hour or more. And also last season, I remember a "valentines day" ad for several sunday shows airing around that time, with a brief clip of Bender with Lucy Liu in his case "Lucy Liu is the only girl for Bender" "I love you Be..". And I also remember an ad for "Leela's Homeworld" with the "I didn't want you to hurt me either" gag, though the ad was seemingly only played during the syndication/local stuff during the day, no prime time.
So, its not totally unheard of. Its sad how much my local station plays into it though. Unlike with, say, The Simpsons' season premiere, they don't do anything on the local news. And I remember watching a syndicated Simpsons rerun right before "Jurassic Bark" aired, and they had your typical annoying voice talking over the credits and telling me about Sunday's lineup, but they said "it all starts tonight at 7:00" (we get Futurama at 6:00 here), and skipped telling me anything about Jurassic Bark even exsisting.

Well with Futurama being on Cartoon Network now, do you think there's a snowball's chance in hell that they would renew it?

Ok, what about UPN or WB as the new home for Futurama. They are already paying to produce some of the worst crap on television. Why not pay for some quality TV that already has a big following?
