Futurama: Bender's Back, Baby!
And I now know that there is a god, and he is good.
Comedy Central has "renewed" it's contract with Futurama, but this time it won't be segmented versions of straight-to-DVD feature-length movies. That's right, kiddies, Futurama is back from the dead.
Comedy Central has ordered 26 -- count 'em 26 episodes of brand-spanking new Futurama. That is two seasons worth of Fry, Leela, Zoidberg, Hermes Conrad, Amy Wong, Professor Farnsworth, Zap Brannigan, Kif, Nibbler, that guy that always says "welcome to the world of tomorrow!" and of course, Scruffy. Oh, yeah, and a funny little muddle named Bender, too.
I am so excited that I can barely contain my enthusiastic little hops around the room in celebration, a la Tracy Flick in Election when she finds out she won the school presidency.
The new season of Futurama is expected in mid-2010.
I think a little shout out is warranted to Adult Swim for showing Comedy Central that there is an audience for Futurama.
