I posted this ages ago every week I check for futurama so I did see "amazon woman in the mood"/"Bendless love". Remember Flexo?

[Reply #201 on:]

i'll set my G-code VCR on thursday. if anything sould make miss Futurama! which shouldnt happen. but just incase.

[Reply #202 on:]

as will i

[Reply #203 on:]

I second that emotion!

[Reply #204 on:]

So when is FUTURAMA coming to Australia's cartoon network? Does anyone know. That would be cooool.

[Reply #205 on:]

I hope channel 7 keeps it going to the end. Knowing their stupidity they will take it off as soon as this series ends. If they do then I am going to do some serious complaining. Even if they show it at 3:00 at night it is better than it not being on at all!

[Reply #206 on:]

I guess Australia is screwed with the Season 5 episodes...

[Reply #207 on:]

so its on this week GOOD, damn tennis

[Reply #208 on:]

What? And spoil their 6 hour run of home shopping ads? They wouldn't dare!
Seriously though...It had better be on tonight...No more excuses channel 7!

[Reply #210 on:]

Either that or mail us each handwriten apoligies with a copie of season 3.

[Reply #211 on:]

10 hours to go!

Anyone know what 2 eps they are showing this week?

[Reply #212 on:]

This Week:
The Day Earth Stood Stupid

and

Thats Lobstertainment
Next Week:
The Birdbot of Ice Crataz

and

The Luck of the Fryish

[Reply #213 on:]

*Buzzzzzz* Wrong!

Futurama is off again next week and I hope to be made a liar when i say this but I strongly doubt it will be back on at all this season on channel 7. Next weeks thursday night line-up is

8:00 - Scrubs
8:30 - Joe Millionaire (New Series)
9:30 - Will & Grace
10:00 - Will & Grace (Repeat)
10:25 - The Embassy
Now "Joe Millionaire" has been added to thursday night as well as "The Embassy" which means two hours of new shows after 8pm.....somethings gotta give, and Futurama is the thing that gave I guess.

The reason I don't think it'll ever be back is cos they want that stupid Millionaire show to rate well like in the US so they are not gonna jerk around it's timeslot and "The Embassy" was on mondays till this week which means they have moved it to attract a new audience and improve the ratings.
Thats what I think anyways.
Either way we're screwed.

[Reply #214 on:]

How did you find that out?

If they don't put it back on then we are going to have to write/phone in and complain 

[Reply #215 on:]

I just checked the TV guide, he's right. I am pissed at Channel 7, they are no better than FOX! In fact they are worse, we are still only up to season 3!!!

We gonna have to do a lot of complaining!!!

[Reply #216 on:]

C7 piss me off!!!
all us aussies should all complain on the same day to piss 'em off. GOD THEY SHIT ME!

[Reply #217 on:]

Yeah, I just saw those eps, and much to my horror that stupid voice-over guy comes in at the credits; 'And that's all for Futurama at the time being'. But saying 7 are no better than FOX is a LITTLE harsh. Although they only advertised the constantly pre-empted first and second season a few weeks before it came out and not once after that, then a few years later started airing the episodes again late at night with no advertising during a non-ratings period... Hmm, maybe they are as bad as FOX...

[Reply #218 on:]

At least there was a ThumbsUp review in The Guide this week. That's how I knew it was on...
Even though they did bag it out a bit, overall they liked the show. And I recorded it! Yay.

These episodes I've seen already long ago (previous downloads). The ones coming up, I haven't seen, so I really hope they air them before I go!

[Reply #219 on:]

Meh, I can't get used to watching Futurama with commercials...

We need to get Futurama back on channel 7. Does anyone have any ideas?

[Reply #224 on:]

Burn them

[Reply #225 on:]

Wait another 2 years and hope for the best?

[Reply #226 on:]

If we don't do something now I don't think they will even consider it in 2 years!

[Reply #227 on:]

..yes 

[Reply #228 on:]

Were not doing anything Carbito... *Sigh*

[Reply #229 on:]

this proberly doesnt belong here, but is this true..

i read in my local tv guide (queensland) - that Jackass is on Channel 10 at 10pm, Wednesdays..

is this true or just a misprint?

[Reply #230 on:]

They had to take it as part of a package with The Osbournes or something like that.

Hopefully most right-minded people will just ignore it and forever condemn it to thecomedychannel re-runs.

[Reply #231 on:]

Does anyone know Channel 7's email? I've looked all over their site and can't find it. Those Son's of bitches wont get away with this!

clampybot: I would be happy about the Simpsons returning if they were still any good. Besides, I've already seen that episode 

eggsandwich: Yes it's on, I saw an ad for it on Channel 10. If only they had bought Futurama instead...

[Reply #232 on:]

If you want to contact channel 7 try looking in the White/Yellow pages for a phone number, if you find a number post it here!

weird, i dont remember saying this..

[Reply #234 on:]

i wish channel ten had bought futurama, we'd probably get a "simpsons/futurama double episode special (reruns of course)!!" every monday, wednesday and friday nights. but the NEW episodes would be on tuesday nights, right before rove. hmmmm. anyone friends with a c10 excec?

[Reply #235 on:]

If 10 had got Futurama maby it would not be cancelled. Here is why, one thing is they ould show it heeps and it would get a huge fan base here in Australia, other networks around the world would follow this as it would get big ratings. If that happened then Futurama would never be cancelled. So I am blaming channel 7 for Futurama's cancellation 

[Reply #236 on:]

Yeah, what the hell was 10 thinking NOT buying Futurama.

[Reply #237 on:]

hopefully futurama will be moved to sunday nights like most seven shows in the tv guide

Actually I was reffering to your post about Jackass. I wasn't quoting you.
