Last Thursday, the list of the fifteen highest-rated cable TV shows for July 12-18 came out, and one showing of Futurama was ranked #15. It was the one from Wednesday the 14th, which I believe was "Obsoletely Fabulous." It had more than 2.6 million viewers, which isn't a lot by TV standards but was still more than half of what the #1 show received. The episode of Family Guy from the same day ranked #10, but no other episodes from either show were in the top fifteen. Is there something special about Wednesday showings? I'll check this week to see if Futurama makes it in again. www.zap2it.com/television/news/ratings/cable

If Futurama stays strong like this then something will happen to it.

Bloody Channel Four. I remember seeing WMIBACIL for the first time on it, and only after seeing the same episode on DVD a good while later did I realise on how they cut out quite a good deal of it.

What was wrong with 'I Dated a Robot'? Or did it just get in the way of big brother?!

Holy crap! It seems that through word of mouth, magazine articles, and advertising, Futurama is doing great, as are most of the [AS] shows. Just shows what Futurama can do on a network that appreciates it.

Wow. I've very suprised how well good ol' Futurama is doing in the ratings. If it stays like this, someone at FOX has gotta notice.

Futurama's ratings may keep it from not going back on... Think of it Rupert Murdoc will not give the rights to it because he wants those ratings, not for Cartoon Network to have it...

Do you watch DVD's more then you watch it on TV? I think that may be hurting ratings...

Ratings dont bring shows back though... Most shows with a huge fan support are gone for reasons beyond ratings...

Futurama isn't on this week's ratings list. It's odd that it can score so highly one week and then drop off completely the next. It's as if every few weeks, everyone watches one episode but doesn't watch any others.

Originally posted by Squeaky: Hey, The Season 4 Dvd's just came out (In America) so with recent uproar in ratings I wouldn't be suprised if FOX has some ideas of bringing it back. For some reason I would actually hope if CN (Cartoon Network) got the show because they would advertise and make it the backbone of Their network.
A man can dream... A man can dream. That may be a bit wishful, but who knows. From what I've heard, DVD sales have been very good. And as you said, THAT coupled with the high ratings on CN might be worthy of FOX's attention.

Well, it isn't on the list this week. It might have been forced off by the MTV awards show, which somehow occupies three different ranks.
