Just found out this awesome news from comingsoon.net:

Comedy Central Resurrects Futurama
Source: Variety
June 23, 2006

Comedy Central has resurrected the former Fox series Futurama, ordering 13 episodes to debut in 2008. The deal builds upon the cable channel's acquisition of the 72-episode library last fall.

Discussions about a revival of the half-hour began in earnest earlier this year between Futurama producer 20th Century Fox Television and series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen.

Actors Billy West, Katey Sagal and John DiMaggio are onboard for the new episodes that will continue the story of the pizza delivery boy, accidentally frozen for 1,000 years, who wakes up in the future.

Futurama has traveled a course similar to that of animated series Family Guy, which also was cancelled and later brought back after DVD releases and off-network repeats grew a new fanbase.

It happened for Family Guy so why not for Futurama? Awesome news for them!

Yay! 2008 can't come fast enough. It'll be interesting to see how they continue with Fry and Leela's relationship.

Same here. I heard the rumors about them reviving the show a while back but I wasn't sure on when it was actually coming back.

That was mad funny!

The one really sad episode was the one with the dog. I felt so bad for him as he waited around for Fry all those years.

Awwww. I hate the idea of a sad cartoon dog.
