So…does anybody know why Futurama is off Adult Swim on Cartoon Network, and for how long? They still have Futurama on the ads for AS, but no show.
Does it have anything to do with Fox airing the last few eps right now?
And, by the way, if anybody has managed to watch Home Movies for more than 10 minutes without getting a headache, did it have anything funny in it, ever?
Oh well…at least they still play Family Guy.

There was a thread on this a few days ago that said Futurama will be back on Monday, but Family guy will move to 11/10 central and Futurama will follow.

[Adultswim.com](http://Adultswim.com) has the schedule of all the shows if you ever wonder in the future.
…and I like Home Movies. I think its hilarious.

That blows. I barely made it through _Futurama_ when it came on at 11. I’ll almost never get to see it now.

Well, I’m excited. Now I can watch The Daily Show and Futurama. I’d rather see Futurama than the Family Guy.

Step 1, purchase a good VCR (where I’m from, you can get good one for less than $100). Step 2, plug in VCR. Step 3, create a “weekly record” program so your VCR automatically records Futurama for you every week. (Optional step: Depress the button marked “FF” when a commercial comes on during playback.)

Yeah, I was wonderin’ where Futurama went too. Good to know it’s coming back. But Home Movies? God, thats awful. I hate the animation, and all the voices actors (which to me seems like one, maybe two) sound like they have a really bad nasal infection, even if the jokes are funny, ican’t watch it for more than a couple minutes before my eyes and ears explode. Ugh.

Oh good, I was hoping Futurama would be back soon.
