The Desert Mermaid

Futurama has been cancelled. Again. Some more.

On the bright side, this might turn out to be their best series finale yet.

How sad is it that half my sorrow is that there will be no more commentaries? THOSE GUYS ARE MY FRIENDS!

Okay, I have to admit, this week's episode of Futurama? VERY YES.

I want to live on Leonardo’s planet. It looked like a blast to design, too.

New Futurama DVD was pretty good—it felt the most natural of all of them. I may still like Bender’s Game best for the sheer absurdity of it, but this one was damn good.

Also, it featured the Massive Head Of Penn Jillette, and that’s one of those things that improves any situation.* Or at least makes it louder.

I have to admit, I prefer the short episodes, so once I overcome this overwhelming inertia I’m going to write to Fox, or Comedy Central, or my congressman, and to Barack Obama and try to convince them to bring the damn show back. Hell, we already have Al Gore on our side! What more can it possibly take?


*We noted that the credit went to Penn & Teller, something that I’ve noticed happens even in voice-acting situations where Teller is present but doesn’t talk. Makes sense, I suppose, since they are an act and he still appears. (Also, for the record, when Teller does open his mouth, you quickly find out that he’s the crazy one. Think about that for a minute.)
