The Futurama Is Almost Now

Futurama returns! Yes, at last the prophetic words displayed almost three years ago at the start of that poignant last episode The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings are going to come true; we will indeed see our futuristic friends again on another channel! Benevolent and wise Comedy Central has picked up the lesser known (but far superior) of Matt Groening's two brain-children from the completely vision-less Fox network, and production has already begun on 13 new episodes to be aired in 2008!

Sure, it's still a ways off, but I am certain it will be well worth the wait. Fire up those DVRs, Futurama Fans; the cutting edge in animated comedy is coming back from beyond the grave to beguile and amuse us in ways that The Simpsons only dreamed of. In the words of Hermes Conrad, "Sweet three-toed sloth of Ice Planet Hoth!"

My day has just been made. Hallelu. Hallelu.

I have just signed up for Doctor Dictionary's Word of the Day, too! I canceled Anu Garg's Word of the Day, because 90% of his words are things you'd never, ever have a chance to use in real life. Cap-a-pie is great--makes me think of Hamlet's ghost.

Oh, and Futurama is pretty okay. It deserves a comeback way more than Family Guy.

Yes, Anu Garg's words have always seemed flagrantly esoteric and obtuse. A pox on her copious verbal acumen!
