Futurama

News out today that Comedy Central has ordered 26 new episodes of one of my favorite shows, Futurama.

Taking a page from the "Family Guy" resurrection guidebook, the canceled Fox animated comedy is returning with an order from Comedy Central for 26 new episodes to run over two seasons.

"Futurama" creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen already are working on stories for the new batch of episodes of the sci-fi cartoon, slated to premiere on Comedy Central in mid-2010.

I've been mostly disappointed with the new movies, although they weren't horrible. Certainly weren't up to the standards of the original series. Hopefully the writers will return to some of the great episode concepts, such as The Farnsworth Paradox. Regardless, new Futurama is always a good thing! Everything did just taste purple for a sec.
