Toon Zone Talkback - Comedy Central Orders More Futurama

It would be nice if CC was supporting this series a little better. All the times they've boasted as "regular times" have turned out to be "regular unless they choose otherwise".

I actually didn't manage to catch a single episode of the new season till it was on Netflix.

I hope this next season is better. I still would have preferred it to be part of Animation Domination and [as] at this point.
 
Yeah, I've always wondered why Fox never aired the new episodes, then let Comedy Central secondhand air them a week later, like how Fox and AS do it with Family Guy and American Dad.

Does the Fox network hate the show THAT badly?
 
I think the problem can be stemmed towards two things:

1. The fact that Fox's Sunday line-up is already packed;

2. The poor handling of Futurama by Fox when it aired on that channel (i.e. Fox pretty much putting the show on the 7:00PM death slot on Sunday, where it would usually be pre-emptied in the fall with football coverage).
 
...really?

I caught every ep at its first run time, 9:30 or 10 (forget which) PM on Thursday, with plentiful advertisting. Are you a different market than me (New York City)?
 
GO Bender, GO Bender, GO Bender... :D

Hah, what do you know?? I honestly thought Futurama got cancelled again because of low ratings and poor advertising.

I'm just hoping Season 7 (8??) has a better run than Season 6 did. Don't get me wrong, I loved how they made references to earlier seasons of the show, but some of the episodes didn't have much steam. If anything, my favourite episode had to have been Lrrreconciliable Ndndifferences, with them going to San Diego Comic-Con 3010 and seeing Matt Groening as himself in a panel about "Futurella."
 
Yeah, I meant 12 at summer & 1 at christmas.

Also, the Comedy Central press release lists the seasons as this:

2010 episodes: 6A
2011 episodes: 6B
2012 episodes: 7A
2013 episodes: 7B

Makes sense, since it works with the pre-existing 'go by the production codes'-system.
 
10pm. They always reran the previous one at 9:30pm though. But I don't see how you can miss an episode, since they gave it so many reruns.
