The Hypnotoad is probably one of the worst characters ev- ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD, THE BEST CHARACTER IN FUTURAMA.

Blogger Alicia decided to bake up some Futurama Brain Slug cupcakes for a birthday. I guess she was aiming to make a tasty, delicious, snack for the party. Little did she know, these brain slugs would latch onto all the guests and take control. Now all those people do is give out free “hats”.

Futurama has been picked up and revived by Comedy Central for 26 new episodes! A rumor has been circulating the internet that Comedy Central was seeking to pickup Futurama for 13 episodes, but the news is even sweeter now that it’s 26.

Futurama originally aired on Fox for 4 seasons, until it was canceled back in 2003. Since then, for the past 6 years, fans of the show have been showing anger over the unjust cancellation. After all the years, Fox picked Futurama back up for 4 straight to DVD movies, which turned out to be huge successes.

As a die hard fan of Futurama, this news is nearly bringing a tear to my eye. Futurama is easily, in my opinion, the best computer animated TV show. If I happen to watch an episode of Family Guy or The Simpsons, I always wish it was Futurama.

20th Century Fox TV Chairmen Gary Newman and Dana Walden:

When we brought back Family Guy several years ago, everyone said that it was a once in a lifetime thing — that canceled series stay canceled and cannot be revived. But Futurama was another series that fans simply demanded we bring back, and we couldn’t have been happier when Matt (Matt Groening) and David (David X. Cohen) agreed that there were many more stories yet to tell.

We can expect the new Futurama episodes to begin airing sometime in mid-2010!

Remember the sea monster, the Kraken, from Pirates of the Caribbean 2? The one that swallowed Captain Jack Sparrow and destroyed the Black Pearl at the end? Well…that was Zoidberg.

I guess Zoidberg was fed up with eating garbage, being discriminated against because of his stink gland, and having his freedoms taken away on Freedom Day.

Billy West, the voice of many famous characters over the years, and pretty much the man who carries Futurama, does some voices for us, and talks about a possible season 6 for the show.

He says Fox has made some noise regarding a new season of Futurama on TV. Futurama had 4 seasons on Fox, then it was canceled. Fox green lighted 4 straight to DVD movies after years of anger from the fans. Those 4 movies being season 5, I really hope Fox brings the show back for a 6th. The movies sold well, of course. I own the first three already, and the final comes out on February 24th in the US, the 23rd in Europe.
