Still, it seems that Fox doesn't want to create another long-running cartoon show with Groening involved. Even if the show has a ton of references, it's still a damn fine show. I don't see why they would want to kill it again.

Heck, with Family Guy at least they're airing the hell out of it. It has to be Groening, man.

Zbu Manowar I don't get why Fox doesn't just give the show a new season and put it right after the Simpsons. It would seem like a no-brainer since the damn show got the same ratings as Family Guy and was made by the same guy who made the freaking Simpsons. I'm getting the impression that Fox fears Matt Groening because his show is still keeping them afloat from the same shitty programming they've foisted on us.

They've already owe their ass to Groening and his show for the rest of time, why not make Futurama the heir to the Simpsons when that finally bites it?

Wow, I feel cheated then. I thought it was going to be a new season after they played through the old episodes once or twice.

Cfr5 Looks like I already have a fourth of the season then.
