Both. Fox is full of dumbasses. Channel 4 shows it at 1am which people have already said, Sky1 shows it at 3.30pm when most people interested are at work or school.

Originally posted by Cloud 9: What show? I don't remember... BTW: I didn't know that Matt had such a small part in the production of the Simpsons now... What all does he do, then? Futurama's over, *sniff* And since he doesn't do much w/ the Simpsons, is his comic the only thing? (I've never read Life in Hell, is it good?) I agree that I'd much rather have the Simpsons cancelled than our beloved Futurama...
As stated, Groening comes in about once a month or something to give suggestions. As one writer says, just to "make sure we're not ruining his baby". That's been his role since about season four or so. Other people honestly deserve a lot more credit for the show then they get in comparison to Groening. "Life in Hell" is indeed awesome, from what I've read of it. I hightly reccomend any Futurama/Simpsons fan to pick up one or two of the books and check it out. Hilarious stuff, and I really wish I knew of a publication around here where I could read new ones. EDIT: Also, the comic MAY not be Groening's only job right now (barring his consulting on The Simpsons). Nothing definitive about his role yet, but supposedly he and James L. Brooks (who deserves at the very least nearly as much credit as Groening for the launch of The Simpsons by the way) are spearheading the writing staff of The Simpsons movie....

I thought Banzai was kind of funny. Stupid and funny. Well, amusing, to say the least. Of course, it could never fill the spacious void of Futurama but we all know that the return of Futurama is never going to happen. It's just like me still hoping that there will be more Twin Peaks.
We as loyal fans must just keep the fire burning.

Originally posted by aslate: Cartoon Network would buy it, but it's too expensive for them to produce, their budget isn't big enough for a show as expensive as Futurama (Estimates are about $1,000,000 per episode).
What is appauling is that, here in England, channel 4 is believed to have paid around £1,ooo,ooo per episode, for the latest series of the Simpsons! With current strength of the US Dollar they could have afforded to produce two series of Futurama with that!

True, he didn't leave The Simpsons, he just doesn't have as much involvement in the creative process as he used to. By the way, there had to be a point when FOX actually liked Futurama, due to the fact that they bought 13 episodes an hour into David X. Cohen's and Matt Groening's original series pitch.

"Big Brother" and "Survivor" is popular too, doesn't mean I don't despise them. And awards mean nothing.

Welcome to PEEL, Pig+Wool=Sheep! And, you're right, Cohen and Groening would like to do a feature, but we still have no word on if and when it will be produced.

Welcome to PEEL, Pig+Wool=Sheep Click here to learn more!Wouldn't they still need rights from fox to make a movie, though? I doubt fox wants there to be a Futurama movie.

I'm not sure. Matt Groening didn't give away Futurama's rights, but a movie would probably still need FOX's backing and funding.
