Is Fox trying to redeem itself?

Please, please, please, let it be true!!

Good news, everyone! [/Farnsworth]

YAAY!!!

Direct to DVD? Does this mean we’ll get more gratuitous Amy Wong nudity?

Tuckerfan · May 22, 2005, 10:08pm

I’m sorry, but there’s nothing gratuitous about Amy Wong being nekkid, it is vitally important for the continued health and safety of this nation that she is nekkid. To do anything less, means that the terrorists have won.

Good news, everyone?

Over the last week, several sources from within the animation business have indicated to us that there is renewed talk at FOX about bringing fresh Futurama content directly to DVD. We corroborated this with other sources close to the show before publishing the information.

The talk is of course still in a preliminary stage. Options reported to us include one or more Futurama movies in case of a go-ahead.

Even though Futurama is not sure to return and the likelihood of its return is currently unknown, this is the first time in the past few years that we have heard of Futurama being discussed at the upper levels of FOX. They’ll likely have a good look at the sales of the upcoming Futurama Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection.

As soon as we get more information on the Direct to DVD story, we’ll let you know right here.

Excellent news, if it happens, but I’m still not buying the Robot Collection.

P.S. I despise the co-opting of the word “fresh” to decribe new tv shows or episodes thereof. Carry on.

One big what?

Ponder_Stibbons · May 23, 2005, 3:38pm

Oh. Your. God.

I am so pumped if this turns out to be true!

But why do I have this nagging feeling that getting our hopes up just means we’ll later be feeling seriously boned?

ultrafilter · May 23, 2005, 3:47pm

It’ll be cool if it happens, but I’m not getting my hopes up until I see something official.

Sweet manatee of Galilee!

Sweet three toed sloth of ice planet hoth!

If this actually happens, then woo-hoo! But, Fox loves to torment Futurama fans, so I’m not getting my hopes too high.

We probably couldn’t be able to make out all the details. Our low-quality Stupid Age TV sets probably couldn’t even make out her obscene tattoo!

I wish they’d bring back Family Guy instead!

Sweet…something…of somewhere…

Are they talking like a 90 minute movie? Or something like a season’s worth of regular length eps?

Fiver · May 23, 2005, 5:54pm

The OP’s link mentions it, but I can’t find any evidence at Amazon.com that “Futurama Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection” exists or will exist.
