Direct to DVD? Does this mean weā€™ll get more gratuitous Amy Wong nudity? ---

> [@Little Nemo](#): > > Direct to DVD? Does this mean weā€™ll get more gratuitous Amy Wong nudity? Iā€™m sorry, but thereā€™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. ---

From before it crashed > [@site staff of Got Futurama?](#): > > 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. Theyā€™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, weā€™ll let you know right here. ---

Excellent news, if it happens, but Iā€™m still not buying the Robot Collection. ā€“Cliffy P.S. I despise the co-opting of the word ā€œfreshā€ to decribe new tv shows or episodes thereof. Carry on. ---

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 weā€™ll later be feeling seriously boned? ---

The OPā€™s link mentions it, but I canā€™t find any evidence at [Amazon.com](http://Amazon.com) that ā€œFuturama Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collectionā€ exists or will exist. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/sweet-zombie-jesus-possibility-for-direct-to-dvd-futurama/304981.md?page=2)
