I just found out that apparently Comedy central has ordered 26 new episodes of Futurama, based on the sales figures of the 4 DVD's that Futurama made. It's kind of cool how in essence Adult Swim (and in the case of Futurama, also Comedy Central) has brought back two of my favorite shows. Family Guy and Futurama. Why didn't shit like this happen when I was a younger, and some of my favorite shows got canceled? Well, I know why..they pretty much sucked.
they were threatening to because the originals wanted more $ than they wanted to pay. but the original cast did end up signing, so don't worry be happy.
If they're going to replace the voice actors, they might as well change every character and rename the show "Shit".
