Found this over at TV Guide.com and I figured all of the Futurama fans here would be interested in reading it.
BACK TO THE FUTURAMA: Variety is reporting that 20th Century Fox TV is in early discussions to go back into production with Futurama, the Emmy-winning animated series that ran on Fox from March 1999 to August 2003, giving it a Family Guy-style resuscitation. Based on the misadventures of Fry, Leela and Bender, Futurama is set in the year 3000, at which time Lindsay Lohan will have stopped making "news." But until then...
There have been rumors for a while now that they were considering going back into production but I hadnt heard anything in some time so this was definitely some welcome news. It'd be great if Futurama got a second lease on life just like Family Guy did.

That's terrific! I'd just been wondering what news there was about this.
I'm all for a return. Looks like the test balloon of the DVD release panned out.

Are you insulting me personally or that episode?

I don't think they should bring it back.
I like when shows stay cancelled/done.
It'd be OK if they made a movie, but no more episodes.
I have that view on all TV shows.
Firefly is a good show, but it's done, so it should stay done, and only continue in movies and other media.

Very good news, and far worthier of it than "Family Guy."

Even though I think Family Guy is the funniest of the Simpsons and Futurama,I think it has the least heart and personality. I think Family Guy lacks the depth the other 2 have, that's just my opinion nothing more so no flames.
