Futurama Rebirth

That's right future fans, in case you haven't heard the buzz already, Futurama will return to the small screen on June 24, 2010. What's even better is that it'll be on Comedy Central, so they can get as colorful and edgy as they like.

I've been quietly cheering for the return of this future toon ever since it went off the air. Then when Matt "Simsons" Groening found financing for a couple movies that were designed to be later cut apart into 20-22 minute segments and broadcast on whichever channel would take them, I was hopeful the cartoon would become a regular guilty pleasure.

The flames of hope were fanned even further when Comedy Central aired the sliced and diced versions of the movies (Futurama: The Beast With A Billion Backs, Bender's Game, Into the Wild Green Yonder, and Bender's Big Score). The devious plan worked, ratings jumped and I'm looking forward to seeing a new season.
