Good News, Everyone! Futurama Lives
It’s technically a rumor at this point, but I’ve already convinced myself it’s true — Comedy Central has ordered a new 13-episode season Futurama, according to Collider and an “inside source.” I guess I really have no idea what Collidert’s track record is with these things, but man, I want this so bad that I refuse to admit it’s mostly a rumor. Also, if you were thinking about buying that “complete” Futurama DVD set I mentioned last DVD Day, well, you might want to hold off.
About The Author
Robert Bricken is one of the original co-founders of the site formerly known as Topless Robot, and its first editor-in-chief, serving from 2008-12. He brought the site to prominence with “nerd news, humor and self-loathing” as its motto, raising it from total internet obscurity to a readership in the millions, with help from his savage “FAQ” movie reviews and Fan Fiction Fridays. Under his tenure Topless Robot was covered by Gawker, Wired, Defamer, New York magazine, ABC News, and others, and his articles have been praised by Roger Ebert, Avengers actor Clark Gregg, comedian and The Daily Show correspondent John Hodgman, the stars of Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, and others. He is currently the managing editor of io9.com. Despite decades as both an amateur and professional nerd, he continues to be completely unprepared for either the zombie apocalypse or the robot uprising.
