One of my favorite shows on TV is Futurama. It’s a brilliant cartoon (a la Simpsons) set in the year 3000. I just learned that a new season of Futurama is being released direct to DVD. One of my favorite quotes related to what the show is like, from the co-creator and co-producer David X. Cohen:

On The Jetsons, there’s a machine that ties your tie for you,” Cohen says. “On Futurama, there’d be a machine that tied your tie, but it would malfunction and start strangling you.

According to the article, “the first DVD hits stores on November 27, and the features will then be divided into half-hour episodes when the entire run of the series begins airing on Comedy Central next year.” Good news everyone!
