“Good news everyone!” said Professor Farnsworth

I already knew that Comedy Central outbid the Cartoon Network for the next round of syndication for Futurama and recently Matt Groening said it would return as four direct to DVD episodes. But this announcement by Reuters confirms an even better development. Someone at work told me earlier today but his source was Ain’t in Cool, run by the self-important (and smells like ass) Harry Knowles, aka the terror of the Austin movie theater employees. Not exactly a reliable source in my opinion. Thankfully gotfuturama.com linked to Reuters instead. 
 
Thanks to DVD and Adult Swim, Fox learned another painful lesson about being impatient with a show. I’m only saddened that Adult Swim couldn’t find the means to finance new episodes as they did with Home Movies. Now can I wait until 2008 to see what kind of new hijinks Bender and Fry will get into.
