Back to the Future

It's been all over the place, but I first saw it here on AICN. Since many of the best shows seem to get cancelled because brain-dead plebeians would rather watch Deal or No Deal, it's only fair that they get revived when half a billion people buy the DVDs. Futurama, which was the best cartoon on tv during its 4-5 seasons and one of the best comedies overall, has found new life on Comedy Central. Thirteen new episodes have been ordered and should premiere in 2008, just in time to swing the next presidental election in favor of Al Gore (Gore guest starred twice on the show and listed it as his favorite show when he was running for president). This is some of the most fantastic tv-news I've heard in a while. Now somebody just needs to get smart and put Firefly back on the air.
