Yesterday, wrote the old wiseman Ausiello, Comedy Central announced the official 26-episode rebirth of Futurama! A few hours later, the network aired the classic episode Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV. "Oh, the irony!" cried thousands of fans lazily snacking their way through the middle of the night. I can't find the clip of that episode where the network president suggests that "bite my shiny metal ass" could become a catchphrase (if you can locate it, please include in comments below), so instead here's the 2008 Adult Swim promo song that got me to start regularly watching Futurama reruns. I figured at the time that if the "Shaken, not stirred / Futur-a-a-a-a-ma…." lyric was going to float through my head all day anyway, I should at least have a decent visual to back it up.
How psyched are we for more Futurama in 2010?!!!!!! Let's all have some cake. And you smell like one, too.
Annie, I can’t believe that you haven’t written about the new movie Tony Dovolani just signed onto co-starring Clint Howard. He’s gonna play a body builder!!! It was in the NY Post today!
Boy, are you ever one mistaken writer. Adult Swim is Cartoon Network’s block of late-night programming, and they had the rights to air Futurama for a good few years. Now Comedy Central has it, not Cartoon Network. Comedy Central has nothing to do with Adult Swim.
Just to reiterate, SO EXCITED!!!!
Adam, you’re not reading clearly enough. She says that Comedy Central announced the return of “Futurama,” and that a few hours later ran “Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television,” not Adult Swim. The only reference to Adult Swim is to say how an ad they ran got her hooked on Futurama in the first place.
yeaahhh babY!!!!
Hooray!
The new trend on this site is criticizing the writing of stuff that isn’t incorrect in the first place. Lest we not forget the whole July 4th Box office preview fiasco.
Sweet Zombie Jesus!!! p.s.(I’ve also noticed that this site has been recently taken over by the grammar police, who make false arrest all the time.
