1) It's from Matt Groening. Of course it will be good. 2) HELL NO! A new show would be nice, but Futurama died way too young! There were still so many possibilities... so much left undone... 3) He damn better be.

Well, you said in another forum that you think Futurama would have gotten stail. I disagree. Futurama wasnt like the simpsons who only had so many possibilities. Futurama was in a futuristic world with monsters and almost anything could happen. There were endless possibilities.
Now, on to your questions. 1. possibly. Although I just dont know what they could do now. 2. Hell no, never. 3. Hopefully. We can only pray.

As I said on a thread in the TV section, Matt Greoning has said he's working on a rock and roll show. It has the potential to be really good, although it could suffer from being too similar to The Simpsons as they have done many, many episodes with a rock and roll, or music festival theme. Anyway it's far too early to judge, and he may have dumped that idea by now. Who knows? (Matt Greoning, I guess).
I'd love to see a new Greoning show, and new episodes of Futurama being produced. That is the ideal situation. Although if i could only choose one, I'd go for new Futurama.

1. I can't really say anything until I see it. 2. Same as above - but it'll have to be pretty damn good to top Futurama. 3. Probably not, unless he was going for another sci-fi related show. Cohen would probably get envolved in the production staff one way or another, but I doubt he'll have as big a roll as he did with Futurama.

Does Groening have any contractual obligations to Fox, because any new show should probably go to a different network. I guess all the major networks, including Fox, have screwed up trying to push animated shows to match the success the simpsons. Even though Futurama failed through no fault of its own, after seeing what happened to it, who'll be willing and able to buy a new Groeniung show. I think a Groening movie has a much better chance seeing the light of day.

1. yes it's possible. 2. sort of because Futurama may end up like the later seasons of the simpsons which is'nt a good thing. 3. Maybe.

My words exactly, ive always said that there are endless possibilities for Futurama. The problem with the Simpsons is that they have explored all of the possibilities(even aliens) and now theres nothing left to do.

Regarding Coop's second to last post, Groening ironically once worked as a movie extra.
Anyways...
1. I assume it would be. 2. In the current situation I'd say I'd prefer Futurama, but we don't really know until we've seen the next show (assuming it happens) whether it'll be better. 3. When piloting The Simpsons, Brooks and Simon were chosen for specific reasons as partners. Brooks for his clout in the industry and experience making television shows, and Simon because he was a master at developing characters and making whatever he touched emotionally meaningful and down the earth. Cohen was chosen for Futurama because he was a big sci-fi geek, and in the case of that show Groening needed someone like that to create it. I would guess that the next show will have someone else as a partner, but I wouldn't be suprised if Cohen came back in some way (consultant, writer, etc), since Groening was apparently interested in working with the Futurama team again. But, I think he'll pick another partner as the main showrunner, based on whatever the subject matter of the next show will be.

It would be fun to have a new fresh show, although i love futurama.
Without change, something sleeps inside us

1: Yes. Hell, lots of people thought the Simpsons was a one hit wonder, but lots of us actually prefer Futurama. Matt's had a 2/2 success rating so there's no reason to suggest that he can't do it again. 2: I have to say no. I f anew show gets in the way of Futurama, I don't want to have it. But I get the felling that nothing can save Futurama now. 3: Who knows...? I would hope so.
