A new thread, why not? The old one reached the century mark, and the Sunset Squad summarily dragged it kicking and screaming to Maple Street.
So let's get straight to the Good News™ already!
Maurice LaMarche: Futurama renewed! For two more seasons! All Glory To The Hypnotoad!
Hear that?
That's me, doin' the Bender . . .

13 new episodes have been ordered, with an additional 13 optional. This is apart from the 13 episodes that will air beginning in June, 2011, on Comedy Central. So, yes, they will air in 13 episode blocks (Comedy Central loves those, for some reason), so that means there will be new Futurama in summer of 2012, and most probably in summer of 2013 as well, all off of this one order. Pretty good news, actually, don’tcha think? Because we kind of spread it out, so there are always new episodes to look forward to. That’s how I look at it, anyway.

Have not been watching this on tv. But bought season 5 on dvd. The writing is some damn good quality. Season four quality. Better than the movies.
Not quite Jurassic Bark. But good.
Man, this and Venture Brothers renewal news makes me such a happy camper!
Yay for new Futurama!
I've been really impressed so far with the quality.
"Just slow down and I'll shoot Hitler out the window."
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
It's also on instant streaming on Netflix if you got a subscription.
So, to keep count, there are actually THREE new seasons on the way.
So stoked!
I loved season five, but I saw that, around the time that the first few episodes were released, people around the internet had problems with it for the stupidest reasons. I think the most common reason I saw was that people thought the writing was too different, which is obviously false.
I was afraid that they weren't gonna renew the show after season five, so this is good news indeed.
*dance*
God: "Bender, being God isn't easy. If you do too much, people get dependent on you. And if you do nothing, they lose hope. You have to use a light touch, like a safecracker or a pickpocket."
Bender: "Or when a guy burns down a bar for the insurance money!"
God: "Yes, if you make it look like an electrical thing."
I have to say, somewhere along the way, Godfellas surpassed Roswell That Ends Well as my favorite Futurama episode. Although the Roswell episode still has the best line of any Futurama episode...
Professor attacking the air force base in the past: "Take that causality!"
i'm not hearing a no...
Zoidberg was the best part, although the Professor and Leela trying to blend in was equally amazing.
Leela: I'll have one injection of Femaslim.
It was the Professor's order that got me.
"Croque Monsieur, a paella, and a stein of mead."
" The president is gagging on my swim-bladder. What an honor!"
Me too... but I wasn't going to look up how to spell all that shit.
Oh, friend, you should always know how to spell croque monsieur.
Best sandwich on the planet.
Haha, I forgot about Roswell! That episode is amazing.
Zoidberg totally made it, but "Take that, causality!" made me choke from laughing. God.
"Oh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. I'm My Own Grandfather!"

For the life of me I cannot get over his pimp walk. Oh my god.
like, i appreciate well crafted and structured humor, too
but at the same time, some things can... simply make me laugh- no matter what
like, voice actors i mean... does that make me a low brow doofus
if zoidberg makes his 'whoop whoop whoop' noise, or roger from AD! cries pitifully with a glass of chardonay in one hand and a cigarette in the other... i'll laugh
maybe i'm easy to please
as funny as this is, the part just before this clip shine even brighter

My two all-time favorite jokes are:
"I'm not good with words, which is why I'm in such a delicate conundrum."
and: Rook takes Pawnshop
I don't own a pawnshop, but if I did that's so what I would name it.
Zoidberg pretty much has the best throwaway lines. Like as previously mentioned, "I'm Dr. Zoidberg, homeowner!"
Every time Hawking makes that "oooooo" noise I lose it. Every time.
"You can't just have your characters announce how they feel. That makes me angry."
Lots of new Futurama episodes in the future makes me happy.
{Twitter, Everybody's doing it. }{Writing and Story Blog}
I kinda think they're on par with the show now (not at its highest heights... but at least above average futurama episode.)
But god I came close. What an ending.
Also if anyone can find a legitimate youtube link of that scene with Stephen Hawking in Beast With a Billion Backs, I'll give you a cookie.
Knowing just ruins that...
Mine is the "I could fit if I didn't have these damn arms! Ein, ein, ein." from Fry and the Slurm Factory. But I like a lot of the wordplay in there with the "When can we have some slurm?" "Soon enough!" "That's not soon enough!" and the like.
Plus apparently the guy who designed the grunka lunkas had never seen Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
The guy who wrote the episode had never seen it before which is even more impressive.
