Futurama's Cancelled...

raul7legend

Comedy Central confirmed yesterday on April 23rd that they decided to not renew Futurama. Season 7B will be starting in June 19 and it will be the final episodes of Futurama.
I'm really sad that they haven't decided to renew the serious, I'm a huge fan of Futurama and I know a few people who are pretty huge fans of Futurama too. I really don't understand why they keep shows like South Park and cancel Futurama. I hope some other comedy broadcaster like Adult Swim will take the show but I'm not crossing my fingers. Oh well, we can at least wait patiently for the last part of the season... (/end sorrow rant)

Not surprising. Every season after season 4 just sucked. Comedy central ruined the greatest show ever.

Agreed. And the show had so much potential...

Honestly, after season 5 I just couldn't really watch the show anymore, it was like they were trying to hard to make you laugh with real bad jokes.. The storyline in some of season 4's episodes were good, but not that funny.

I agree the show has a lot of potential, but I don't see the potential being in comedy... It'd be strange, but I'd definitely have liked them to get more serious with the characters and make a season devoted to a captivating storyline.

From season 4 onwards the story really just focused on Fry's and Leela's relationship, which may be a good concept if done right but it feels like Fry is too over-obsessive over Leela, which really ruined the idea. Speaking of, I really don't think the new batch of episodes were bad but they weren't as nearly good as the original broadcasting.
In an offtopic note - I the only one that thinks Amazon Women in The Mood is an overrated episode? Most people say that it's the best episode in Futurama but I thought it was meh.

The best episode is easily insane in the mainframe.

The two best episodes in my opinion is The Day the Earth Stood Stupid and Future Stock.
Also - Easily the best line in Futurama history.
