2006 Calendar

[on:]

Yes, Amazon already lists it. Futurama will have been off the air for about two years by the time this comes out.

Well, at least I know this exists now.  I was in one of those specialty calendar stores (you know the ones; they always open up just around X-Mas time)I looked for a Futurama calendar but they didn't have one so I wasn't even sure if they were going to make a 2006 one.  Now I know, thanks!

Best Futurama news I've heard for a long time. By the time I get the next 2 calanders, and Futurama Adventures, that's 3 more piece of Futurama literature that I'll be able to get!

The hyper-optimist would say this is a sign that FOX want to continue the show in the future and have asked Matt to keep making stuff like this to keep the fans interested.

This is quite incredible! Not so much that there will be another Calendar (although that's awesome), but the fact they've listed it so early! Congratulations to everyone who bought the 2005 Calendar and helped to secure good enough sales for this baby to hit us next year!   ...

like me who just got it in the mail today, along with futurama adventures

[Reply #5 on:]

Joyous joy of joys! ANOTHER Futurama calendar! I can't wait to see what the cover looks like... And I'll definately be buying it. 

[Reply #6 on:]

Where abouts are you guys finding this?  I checked (yet another) calendar store and they had nothing.  I suppose Ebay or Amazon would have something...I should go and check.

[Reply #7 on:]

I still haven't gotten the 2005 calendar... I'm so far behind the times...

*stops looking at his 2004 calendar hanging on the wall*

[Reply #8 on:]

Yea, B-I-G is right, ive been checking barnes&noble and those weird calender stalls in malls, yet not one of them has the futurama calender!

[Reply #9 on:]

They don't sell as many as the Simpsons calendars but they're out there. I just finished writing the 2006 calendar three months and that's cool that's it up for pre-sale.

[Reply #10 on:]

Is there just a full size calendar on the market or can you can one of those mini-calendar ones as well?  Although at this point I'd be happy to get whatever size I can get, as long as it's got Futurama on it!) 

[Reply #11 on:]

I wouldn't mind betting that the reason the Futurama Calendars don't appear to be around in the shops much, is because the majority of there sales are online sales...

[Reply #12 on:]

I'm an optimist. I'll take anything! Anything I tell you!!!

[Reply #13 on:]

I'm more hoping that another comic compilation will be released, or perhaps two or three more, to get all the other comics distributed more easily.

[Reply #14 on:]

There's a Futurama/Simpsons Trade Paperback compilation in the works (although it won't be out for a while after the Crossover Crisis Comics part II are out). And I also hope more compilations of the Futurama Comics are released. Hopefully one day they'll all be released in Trade Paperback form. As long as they sell, I'm sure they will eventually...

[Reply #15 on:]

Excellent. I'll have to pre-order this one as early as I can; I nearly missed my chance to get the 2005 calendar. It's amazing how quickly they go.

Fox has no bearing on Futurama published works, as Matt Groening / Bongo Comics kept the publishing rights.

[Reply #17 on:]

Still, would be nice if Fox were behind getting Bongo to keep making the calendars. Either way, looking forward to hanging up my shiny new 2005 calendar tomorrow!

Amazon got my 2005 calendar shipped in from the US (i'm from in the UK), have any other Britons had trouble getting their calendars, last year i couldn't get hold of one at all.

[Reply #19 on:]

I'm in the UK, ordered from Amazon US, had no problem...

[Reply #20 on:]

I'm a UKian and got mine for Xmas, but pretty sure my mum got it from Amazon.co.uk since that's where she got the last two.

[Reply #21 on:]

I just hung up my 2005 calender yesterday.  I like that a lot of the pictures are based off of themes from the episodes in this calender.  January starts off good with a bunch of parallel universe Frys.  The robot barber seems to be the same in each universe though, hmmmm.  I'm happy there will be a 2006 edition.

[Reply #22 on:]

Juzt orderd mine yesterday. A bit late Fer Real. But at least I actually got around to buying 1 this year. Should be here by Feb 2 yeaaaaaaaaaa.

[Reply #23 on:]

You know what would be great? One of those box calendars. You know, the ones that have a new picture for each day? That would be 365 new Futurama pics! *fangasm*

[Reply #24 on:]

I've always wanted a Futurama 365-day desk calendar, doubt there's the demand for it though 

[Reply #25 on:]

Yea Fer Real a 365 day calender would be sweet. But Id probably forget to turn the page everyday and be like a month behind be4 relizing.

[Reply #26 on:]

I got a Harry Potter one a few years ago. Utterly useless, I tell you.

Plus, you'd probably have to rip off yesterday's page each day. Think how sad that would be!

[Reply #27 on:]

just because you have to rip the page off doesn't mean you have to throw the page away. I'd cut the date off and stick the picture on my wall.

[Reply #28 on:]

365 days of Futurama art would be almost orgasmic.  On the practical side, I'd probably be like VCH and forget to turn the pages after awhile.

[Reply #29 on:]

i have no self control, i would flip through and look at every single page within minutes of purchasing it.

[Reply #30 on:]

Good News Everybody I just got my 2005 Calender Yeaaaa!! 

[Reply #31 on:]

just now? I got mine ages ago. On a side note, could someone who managed to get 2004's calender scan the back? I missed getting it cause Borders forgot to hold my copy and sold it and i never got to see the pics that were in it.

[Reply #32 on:]

There should be a scan of the back cover on CGEF somewhere...

[Reply #33 on:]

Ive looked before and there really isnt. Or least without going on a Safari I cant find it. 

[Reply #34 on:]

It's not that hard, you just go to merchandise, then Calendars and you're there  ... http://www.gotfuturama.com/cgi-bin/imageview.cgi?/Information/Merchandise/images/calendars/back2004.jpg

[Reply #35 on:]

here is the cover pic of the calender:



just click it, to see it bigger..

- Futurama-Area.de

[Reply #36 on:]

Wow thanx a lot for that! Nice find! It's a clool cover, although it reminds me of the cover for Futurama Comics #9...

[Reply #37 on:]

It looks like a freakishly large Fry is touching Leela's shoulder in an affectionate manner :P

Nice cover though 

[Reply #38 on:]

Just to confirm that the cover is the same in English speaking countries...

[Reply #39 on:]

Wow nice cover  I can't wait to get it
