I guess it was just too costly to produce, I'm watching it right now actually. Am I the only one INCREDIBLY psyched about the movie?

Since when were they making a movie?

Anyway, I too love this show! I have Volume 2 and am going to get the rest eventually. BTW- Has anybody read the Futurama comic books?

John DiMaggio, the voice of Bender, has been throwing around rumors about a movie for the last few months. Supposedly, he and the rest of the original csat have been aproached, and it will more than likely go straight-to-video in 2007.

Ive never been able to find the comics, though I have read a few Simpsons comics. Those are great!

I have a few copies of the Simpsons Comics (about 20) and I do enjoy them. I've seen the Futurama comics, but never bought one yet.

BTW- My favorite Futurama episode is War is the H-Word.

"Now, we can just use these Army cards for special Army Discounts and quit to screw you over, right? 'Yes, unless war were declared". *Alarm goes off* "What's that?" 'War were declared".

Hahaha, yep thats a good one.

My favourite would be either "Hell is Other Robots" or "The Devil's Hands are Ideal Playthings". My reasoning? Look at the first post:p.

I like Family Guy, but I think it's broader, less thoughtful, humor is why it has made a comeback where Futurama has stayed on in reruns. There are a lot of sci-fi and horror inside jokes on Futurama that people who are not into that subculture just don't get. Just like people who have never actually met a redneck fail to see the humor in King of the Hill. There are also a lot of political jokes in the old Futurama eps that might go over people's heads, but I loved this show.

I can't pick a favorite ep, but one of my favorite scenes is when Zoidberg and Fry fight over the lobster girl and they play the Star Trek fight music.

The Eps with Fry's dog and the 5 leaf clover (is that right?) are thought provoking episodes too.

That episode damn near made me cry, no joke. The song playing at the end during the flashback...wow. What other Fox cartoon can evoke an emotional response like that? Have you ever felt truely affected after watching Familly Guy? How about The Simpsons? Not a chance. This has so much more depth than other cartoons.

Episode 11: How Hermes Requesitioned His Groove Back is right near the top of my list with the best musical number ever...thats right EVER!

That's my fave episode, but Zoidberg is my fave character, so I'm a bit biased.
