Never underestimate the ability of fans to influence the decisions of entertainment powers-that-be in this age of the Internet and DVD sales. They were effective enough to get new episodes of Family Guy made, and now they have scored another coup by being a major force behind the return of Matt Groening’s Futurama.
Futurama’s Maurice LaMarche talks about why the show, five seasons in, is just hitting its stride – and how the new seasons will be the best ones yet.
A Q & A session with Futurama writer and executive producer Ken Keeler who won the 55th Annual Writers Guild Award in the animated program category for TV writing.
In the run-up to the release of Bender’s Big Score, we at CGEF were lucky to snatch an interview with Futurama’s executive producer David X. Cohen (DXC). Read below what he has to say about Futurama’s past, its hiatus period, its resurrection and about the possibility of a future for Futurama.
Talking with David X. Cohen is always fun, because the ‘Futurama’ showrunner has the same wry, geeky manner as most of the show’s fans (including me). So you can do things like goof with him about adding a ‘Lost’-style twist to the season finale or how the iPhone will be implanted in your eye in the future. But what he’s the most good-natured about — and most resigned to — is the show’s perpetually precarious situation.
