SF Signal: Good News Everyone!

Good News Everyone!

Matt Groening tells The Sydney Morning Herald he believes the success of The Family Guy and the success of the Futurama DVD sales has given his series a shot at being renewed. As an optimist, he believes the show will start again 'tomorrow'.

From my perspective, this is a good thing. I really like Futurama and think Fox gave it short shrift, as it does with most of its SF shows. I guess we'll have to wait and see, but I for one would welcome our new Futurama overlords (in writing this down the first time, I accidentally wrote 'Suturama', which sounds like some sort of surgery-themed game show).

All chant:
All hail Futurama! More singing comedy!

Oh and JP the quote you attribute to Groening is actually from David X. Cohen (head writer and co-creator.)

We need more Futurama so we can have more math and science references - the amount of thought this group of PhD math/science guys put into the show is amazing.

In being asked if he would comment on his math background Cohen responded:
"Go ahead. If I can inspire people to study math and then give it up and move on to something else, I'm happy to do so."
