Just a friendly reminder the crew arrives back on earth November 27th!

Been missing these guys for a while now..

[nonhuman]

Screener's already kicking around on the net.

[shifuimam]

I'm pumped. Seriously. Although I wonder if I should wait until all four movies are released in a box set to buy...

[awaspaas]

A... friend of mine... downloaded it and watched it just tonight and... he... says it's AWESOME!

(He still plans on buying it, though!)

[Aquataris]

I have waited very long for this. I just hope they decide to do a season or so if the movies do well. Adult Swim will likely push the DVD's as hard as they can.

[Uncle Skeleton]

Isn't it going to play on Cartoon Network some time? When is that?

[Aquataris]

I believe after about a month or so on the shelf the first movie will become a 3-episode mini-series that will run on the Adult Swim block, just like the Family Guy movie did.

[JoshuaZ]

hmm... I should... preorder... the DVD... tonight... on the net...

Love the show.

Comedy Central picks up Futurama rights in 2008, in which they also get exclusive rights to the DVD movies instead of Adult Swim.

[voodoo]

Wow.. that was worth waiting for! I approve.

Wow, I don't see Futurama as Comedy Central material. Comedy Central wants animated series that blatantly and constantly rip on the most controversial of subjects. Futurama is the complete opposite of that except for a few rare moments. But as long as it gets exposed to viewers somewhere then it's all good.

[sek929]

I wish it was on Fox

[Aquataris]

It definitely deserves it's old throne back, but then again Fox are so damn greedy that the only reason they took Family Guy back was because it was making Adult Swim a late night ratings heavyweight. I like the way that new episodes of Family Guy get to have dirtier and funnier jokes on Adult Swim and Fox wusses out and censors their broadcasts.

[TailsToo]

I'll be buying it on Tuesday!

Pre-ordered since August

There are several instances. For example, on Fox Peter refers to the time he had Captain Picard's voice.

On Adult Swim, he apologizes to Lois with Patrick Stewart's voice for his post-sex pee stream getting everywhere. On Fox, however, he only recites to her some kind of list he made of favorite things.

[Uncle Skeleton]

I had no idea

Does cartoon network play the new-this-week episodes, or do you just wait until they roll around in syndication?

[Aquataris]

They play new ones just days after they air on Fox.

[Hawkeye_a]

Sweet looking forward to some new Futurama stuff. i really liked the TV show.

[Rumor]

*whistles*

And yes, I couldn't wait for my delivery to show up so I did watch it there too
* Yes. This an affiliate link. Got a problem with that? Punk?

[Peter]

this was amazing.
I loved all the Al Gore stuff

[Dakarʒ]

Futurama, huh? I think I've caught that show once or twice before.

[Kevin]

I liked it up to a point. It did remind me a lot of the Simpsons (I realize the relation)
And I kept seeing Peg Bundy in my head all the time.

[Jawbone54]

You know I've watched between 100-125 shows of the Simpsons, but I've only seen one Futurama episode?

*gets ready to duck*

And yes, I'm serious. I'm guessing I should go buy a DVD set later on.

[Laminar]

Save your money. It's pretty lame.

[Kevin]

Futurama is like a Family Guy thing. It doesn't appeal to everyone. Having said that I liked Futurama better than Family Guy.

I'll most likely pick it up. The clarity can't be compared, which is what I like. Plus special features.

[Ozmodiar]

Futurama > Family Guy > Simpsons (post season 9)

I can't wait to get this. I'll definitely be buying it tomorrow.

[brassplayersrock²]

today's the big day!!!

[powerbook867]

That's right!

"irregular goats - 50% off!"

[screamingFit]

I love Futurama but I found it hard to follow.

Damn the weed.

Family Guy was funny for a while, but I've long since had my fill of it. Futurama is the one that should have been kept on the air.

It wasn't THAT hard to follow now...

[Big Mac]

I liked Bender's Big Score - I rate in the B+ to A- range. You get top quality writing, the great animation style and voice acting. I recommend it to all fans of the series. My biggest complaint, however, is the overall tone of the movie was a little angrier and more serious than I think it should have been, but I guess that's to be expected from the first movie since the writers are venting over the cancellation of the show.

[Uncle Skeleton]

It's hard to carry a plot for ~2 hours with just the cutesy fun stuff. You need a little angry in it.

As for my analysis, I liked it, and I'll watch it again, but I get tired of the time travel stuff. It was great in Time Keeps on Slipping, because since they only moved forward it was all about jokes. In The Why of Fry, which is similar to this movie, it just gets repetetive, seeing the same lines over and over.

[Big Mac]

A little anger is fine, but I think it could have been more balanced.

[voodoo]

It was way better than the Simpsons movie. Where I laughed once. *once*

[Big Mac]

I also think the spam plot was a lazy device that was inappropriately shoehorned into the 30th Century, but that's a minor quibble.

[brassplayersrock²]

the spoiler tag is your friend

[Big Mac]

I don't think me talking about spam spoils anything, if that's what you're referring to. A spoiler gives away a crucial element or ending.

I agree, but if you're going to talk dated topics, the Al Gore stuff has to take that prize.

[- - e r i k - -]

Err... maybe you should start reading science fiction. ALL science fiction is a mirror of today's world. Allegories and references set against a backdrop of "the future".

I loved how they tried explaining the Florida recount incident

[Uncle Skeleton]

Me too, it was funny. So are the spam jokes. The complaint isn't lack of funny, it's that the subject matter relates to 2007, not 3007, and knowing that draws you out of the futuramaness of it.
