I took this topic from The Hip Joint so sue me...but i think that you guys should hear it
Nope. That's not a question. In a recent interview that you can find here, Matt Groening said that he has lost interest in Futurama:

Not only is Groening not writing "The Simpsons," he also doesn't write the show he left it to launch - the sci-fi cartoon "Futurama," which has yet to emerge from the shadow of "The Simpsons," but is adequately successful in Groening's view (it was recently picked up for a fourth season).
Groening has always been drawn to science fiction, but confesses, "I've gotten less interested in fantasy as I've grown older. I'm more interested in human emotion and the ways people really behave now. 'Futurama' has so much fantasy in it that it's of little interest to me personally."

I remember a week ago or so, I commented in the Futurama chat room (#FuturamaChat @ irc.rastaworld.com) that I thought Groening lost interest in Futurama, and maybe that's why they hired Bill Oakley & Josh Weinstein (former Simpsons exec. producers) as Consulting Producers.
Anyway, this sucks
