'Bite my shiny metal arse' - Futurama is coming back

Yes, it has come to my attention that the greatest cartoon ever written by Matt Groening is coming back. No, not 'The Simpsons' but 'Futurama', originally canceled by the dastardly Fox Network is to return.

It will start off as four DVD movies but will be re cut into TV episodes to be shown on American cable station Comedy Central. Obviously no channel in the UK has picked it up, but it is surely only a matter of time before one of the terrestrial channel picks up the series. After all the runs of the previous series were a success on channel 4 and surely most people are getting bored of the constant re-runs of 'The Simpsons'.

Let's just hope Sky don't get there first, although I think purchasing 'Futurama' may conflict with their flagship cartoon series 'The Simpsons'.

Clips of the show have been shown at press events and include a segment where Professor Farnsworth tells the crew that the people at box network who canceled the team have been fired, beaten and killed. A not so subtle dig at the idiots who canceled the show at Fox.
