Since its cancellation more than two years ago, devastated Futurama geeks have had little to no reason to live -- besides DVD sales, and plans for a straight-to-DVD movie slated for 2007. But last night came fresh hope, straight from the show's one-eyed, pink-haired leading lady. Actress Katey Sagal told Craig Ferguson that brand-new episodes of Futurama are on their way to television.

"So, is Futurama coming back?" Ferguson asked.

"Yes, it is coming back," said Sagal, who also played Peg Bundy on Married with Children. "We actually just signed a deal. It is going to be on Comedy Central, and I think they are going to make [new] DVDs. They are making 16 or 13 episodes, I'm not sure."

Either way, great news for Matt Groening fans. Party on Planet Amazonia! Bring your own Popplers!

Then fox sunday night animation dommination would be complete.

I'm so happy to hear that Futurama is coming back. Thankfully it will not air on FOX. It has a better chance with Comedy Central. At least their executives have brains, unlike the witless wonders that run FOX.

What is this, the 653,237th article in the last two years claiming Futurama was coming back? I'd very much like it to, but I'll believe it when I see it.
