I recently bought the R2 release of Futurama: Series 4 and on the audio commentary of the very last episode, Matt Goening gets hounded about what he's doing to save the show... he doesn't actually say anything other than "I'll just say, see you on the next DVD"

Seems to me that he has a plan to get it back on the air. I understand that it's showing on Cartoon Network in the US (I'm in the UK). Wonder if there's any chance that CN has decided they want new episodes.

Anyone else got any news on this? I think Futurama is one of the best shows ever (2nd to Family Guy) and it'll be great to see it back again!.

I've managed to get all 4 series of Futurama and all 3 series of Family guy (although the R2 versions of Family guy suck in comparison to the R1 versions - no extras at all!). All are worthy additions to your collection!

I hope it comes back too... such a fantastic show!

Yeah, he's been talking about it for some time now. He wants to make a movie, from what I understand, as well as bring back the show.
