My appreciation for Futurma only occured since recently discovering it on Adult Swim. By getting out from under the glare of Simpsons comparisons, I've really gotten into the sarcasm of this toon. This is good news indeed.
From tvweek, "Three years after Fox canceled the show, Matt Groening's "Futurama" will resume production for a 13-episode run on Comedy Central. The new episodes will be added to the network's library of 72 "Futurama" episodes previously licensed from 20th Century Fox Television. Voice talent Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio will return for the new episodes, which will debut in 2008.
"There is a deep and passionate fan base for this intelligent and very funny show that matches perfectly with our audience and it is great that we can offer them not just the existing library, but something they've never seen as well," said David Bernath, senior VP, programming, Comedy Central.
"Futurama" marks the third Fox project revived by basic cable in recent years. New episodes of "Greg the Bunny" are being ordered by IFC, and Fox resurrected "Family Guy" after the series found success on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim."

Heeeyyyy, I read this post over on Horrorthon. You stole it from that guy!
You're just a phony! Hey everybody! That guy's a big phony!
That's so weird! I initially posted this on Horrorthon and didn't think it worked so I posted it again. Either I posted this in the worng place or the blog is acting all bloggy again. Now that I look at it I think it looks more appropriate here.
