Bender's Game is pretty good.

Yeah Futurama beats the hell out of The Simpsons

I loved Bender's Game because I use to play D&D in my high school years and there was a lot of little things for fans of the series (and other table top role-playing games) in general. I think that Beast With a Billion Backs and Into The Wild Green Yonder had the best messages and commentary on religion and the environment respectfully.

Rumors are abounding that Fox might pick up Futurama again after the bastards saw how much money the DVDs were making.

That'd be kinda hard considering Comedy Central now owns the rights to the show

The way they ended the last movie left it open to the possibility.

Speaking of which, I hated the way they ended the last movie.

the show sucked when it got brought back to tv the first time. it was great when it first started, but then it went off the air for a bit and it turned into some animated version of 'friends' with a slight sci-fi twist. it was crap.

the movies are where it's at. it provides the writers with a perfect environment to create a really thought provoking AND entertaining story arc that doesn't have to be chopped up into bite sized 22 minute chunks.

i really think the series should stay off the tv and keep the direct to dvd releases coming.

While I agree that the movies are great, I must disagree that the show wet downhill since it's first cancellation.

I downloaded all of the Season DVDs at once (before I had ever seen the show) and watched them all over the span of a month. I found each episode to be consistently funny and didn't see much of a change stylisticly, or, at all.

They did add some weird twists, Fry and Amy's hookup in particular was weird, but it never got to the point where it wasn't hilarious and entertaining.

There has only been one episode i dislike, and that is the one where bender turns into that car at midnight that kills people.

to each their own i suppose

i found the whole 'relationships' angle the show took on its brief return to tv to be quite detrimental. too sappy. like the pet dog episode, or how every episode had to touch on the unrequited 'love' between fry and leila.

the bender / car killer was a stephen king spoof if i remember correctly. how good did you really expect it to be?
