I checked [TVGuide.com](http://TVGuide.com) and it has it listed only on TBS Superstation. Futurama used to air at 11pm weeknights on Cartoon Network but it just stopped last week. Anybody hear word on this? ---

Adult Swim changes their lineup pretty frequently. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Futurama back within a couple of weeks. I’ve even heard _rumors_ that it’s _possible_ that one day we _might_ see new episodes on Cartoon Network. Hey, a guy can dream, can’t he? ---

Both Home Movies and Futurama and the Family Guy on at once? I’m not complaining. ---

By the way, _Futurama_ is still on TBS at 2 pm on weekday afternoons (eastern time). ---

Yeah, it’s on at 11am PST but it gets darned inconvenient when I’m at work. ---

Check the schedule at Adult Swim. Futurama returns Aug 11th with “Deep South” the only difference is Family Guy leads off and Futurama follows. Then FLCL, Blue Gender, Trigun and Cowboy Bebop to close. ---

I am still upset that FOX “cancelled” it. For a year straight I told tons of people to watch this brilliant show but alas, they never could find it! The last couple seasons of the simpsons have been… well, ok. But every Futurama episode makes me laugh obnoxiously out loud at least 20 times. Long live Futurama (well, at least in repeats)! ---

Pick a schedule and stick to it. I need my Futurama and Family Guy to relieve the day’s stress right before sleep! 🙂 ---

Last Sunday’s new episode on Fox had two great lines, both from robots: Calculon: “That was so bad I think you gave me cancer!” and Bender: “Did it ever occur to you to just turn off the TV, sit down with your children, and hit them?” ---

I loved Bender’s protest against himself, as well as… “You’re watchin’ _Futurama_, the show that does not condone the cool crime of stealing.” “There’s the robot child star who grew up and robbed a convience store.” “And there’s the robot child star who grew up and _became_ a convience store!” My sig line is a sort of tribute to Futurama. A funny way of saying goodbye. ---

I love Futurama. Morbo and the The Hypnotoad crack me up just by sitting there doing nothing. “Deep South” was the episode that made me a Futurama fan. “So, Fry, Atlanta was an American City in your time?” “I think it was just an airport. They had a place where you could buy nuts.” ---

He just hypnotizes people. “We now return to the most popular show already in progress, _Everybody Loves Hypnotoad!_” “NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER\*” [sub]This is the best way I can represent the sound of the Hypnotoad in print.[/sub] ---

My question is when are we gonna see an Adult Swim Channel? ---
