Here we go again
Comedy Central orders 13 NEW Episodes of Futurama for 2008 start
Quote:
Three years after Fox canceled the show, Matt Groening's "Futurama" will resume production for a 13-episode run on Comedy Central. The new episodes will be added to the network's library of 72 "Futurama" episodes previously licensed from 20th Century Fox Television. Voice talent Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio will return for the new episodes, which will debut in 2008.
"There is a deep and passionate fan base for this intelligent and very funny show that matches perfectly with our audience and it is great that we can offer them not just the existing library, but something they've never seen as well," said David Bernath, senior VP, programming, Comedy Central.
"Futurama" marks the third Fox project revived by basic cable in recent years. New episodes of "Greg the Bunny" are being ordered by IFC, and Fox resurrected "Family Guy" after the series found success on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim.

Just waiting for Billy West to break my heart again
BUT. . . . .
Katie Sagal was asked by Graig Ferguson on last nights show if Futurama was coming back and here is what she supposibly said. (taken from Billy's board form a poster)
Quote:
Then he asked her to ellaborate and she said (para-phrased) "We're on Comedy Central. We just signed a deal".
He asked how many or something like that and she said, "16 or 13... I'm not sure. I haven't seen the deal. I just said YES!"
