We’re just days away! I can’t believe it’s been 5 years since this show was cancelled. Any other Futurama geeks excited about this? ---

I am totally psyched! But I thought they were going to start doing the show again? What is this movie business? ---

I watched about 3/4s of it last night via a secret method (don’t ask, don’t tell on the SDMB) and was a little disappointed. It’s revolves around a rather complicated, for a cartoon, time travel plot that reminded me of Stewie’s adventure in the “Family Guy” movie. Maybe the last 1/4 will pick up the hilarity quotient. It does feature a little Leela nudity for you cyclops fetishists. Oh, and the trashing of the Fox executives who cancelled the show is pretty funny and brutal. ---

[QUOTE=olivesmarch4th] I am totally psyched! But I thought they were going to start doing the show again? What is this movie business? [/QUOTE] There will be four movies, each of which will be cut into four episodes which will air alongside classic episodes on new home Comedy Central. ---

I watched it this evening, and I am VERY VERY glad to have one of my favorite shows back. I absolutely love time travel plots too, despite a very major continuity/parabox error which I’ll have to watch at least once more before I can explain it fully on here. I also watched all 20 minutes of Everybody Loves Hypnotoad, and it really isn’t worth the waste of time…it’s exactly what you think it is. ---

Awaiting the box from Amazon . . . It’ll be great havin’ them back. I missed them on the teevee, but glommed onto the box sets and ended up buying them all. Thank you Mr. DVD! ---

[QUOTE=An Gadaí] I look forward to seeing it but have heard some bad things from people who have already seen it. [/QUOTE] It’s not perfect, but it’s certainly better than ST:III, and it’s better than **no** new _Futurama_ episodes. (I’m sorry, but they’re getting a bit stale.) I do recommend watching it twice, to see how things mesh out. Their continuity person certain did their job well. ---

I thought is was OK. Some of the jokes seemed forced, but the overall story was good. 6 out of 10… No original episode scores lower then 7. ---
