Oh he's ace and lovable.

I've never thought of him as lovable, perhaps that's why I can't "get" him.

Some opinions are like wathcing a poorly sighted dog attempt to mate with a nun.
Wrong, deeply wrong but amusing none the less.

Luck of The Fryish (?) used to be my favourite. But now I'm too aware of that, it's not. If ya know what I mean? :S

I feel like watching some now.

:O

F**kass!!!!! Angry

Sounds Craptacular. Rolling eyes

The thing that stinks is that they'll make it, it'll be awful and they sit there scratching their heads saying, "Hmm, I guess the show wasn't as popular as we thought."

Terrible news. Variety.com reports:

It's not the first time 20th has gone that route during a tough negotiation on one of its toons. The studio previously made a similar move on "The Simpsons" when it couldn't come to a deal with its stars. Casting feelers were sent out for replacements, but a deal was eventually made with the original cast.

The situation is unusual this time around in that 20th and Comedy Central have been kicking around ways to make "Futurama," originally produced for a broadcast network (Fox), make financial sense for a cable run. Yet there's also still a possibility -- and a window built in -- for "Futurama" to run on a broadcast network first.

It's believed that the "Futurama" cast members were asking for around $75,000 per episode; it was not clear what 20th was offering. Calls to the voice stars' reps were not immediately returned.

As my 3 year old would say, "Me am into a big sad." :(

Further proof human civilisation has come to an end, come on cockroaches your time is now.

This is wank and I can't see how it would work. Hopefully they'll come to a compromise.

That's just stupid. Though asking for $75,000 an episode does also sound a little over the top-!

Super Homosexual! But that's enough about Nil. This is just sad news indeed.

Oooh get you..
