The Return of Futurama

The last time this news came out it turns out to be a hoax, but this time it seems more serious. It appears Futurama is returning to the air!

It’s the good news everyone has been waiting for! A new season of "Futurama"—the brilliant, animated sci-fi comedy from "Simpsons" creator Matt Groening and executive producer David X. Cohen—is finally being produced for a 2008 release.

It’s still not determined whether the new episodes will debut on Comedy Central or DVD, but we’re too excited to care! We pinned down Cohen to get the skinny on what we can expect when "Futurama" reawakens from its cryo-sleep.

I am reserving judgement, but genuinely hope it is true. I miss a real reason to laugh each week. The Simpsons just isn't guaranteed anymore.
