Futurama gets a third life

Finally! If something as inconsistent as Family Guy can be brought back, it’s not a wonder Fox took longer to work out an arrangement for Futurama, it’s a show requiring an IQ over 100 to enjoy or understand. I guess the DVDs did better than I expected since the show’s return seemed rather questionable (the last movie had a fairly conclusive ending) and I figured Comedy Central lacked the budget for something very original, hence why it airs old movies ad nauseum, mediocre stand-up shows and the (bargain) rants of South Park. We’re still not going to waste the money on cable because the DVDs will be a better deal. Now I can’t wait to see the further adventures of Leela, Fry and Bender in 2010.
