Futurama was a good show. No, scratch that-- it was a GREAT show. I think that all of the bereaved here can agree that it was one of the greatest television shows ever to be cancelled by FOX news. And, just as this horrid network was responsible for condemning to death great shows such as Firefly, it is also responsible for making the abysmal decision to throw Futurama out in the cold, cancelled for years.
Of course, it was picked up again by Comedy Central, but apparently now even that once-great network that runs shows like The Daily Show and South Park has gone to the dark side. Yes, Comedy Central has officially ended Futurama's legendary 7-season run, and in the process doomed themselves to an eternity in Hades and an avalanche of angry letters. Graham Vert
Looking around today, I see many other TV shows that have lost loved ones in the past few years. Recently, we have laid to rest Seinfeld, the aforementioned Firefly, Monk, 24, and now Futurama. Not to mention that Breaking Bad and How I Met Your Mother are officially on their last legs. These are dark times for us to be living in.
Futurama is survived by its creator, Matt Groening, and its identical twin, The Simpsons.
However, I see many bright, flowering young TV shows standing here today-- Archer, The Big Bang Theory, House of Cards... I can't wait to see your inevitable MASH-like sputters, coughs, and eventual deaths.
The burial will be held on Sunday. In lieu of flowers, please bring Mom's Old-Fashioned Robot Oil. In accordance with the show's last wishes, it will be cremated via laser rifle and launched into space in that sunglasses case that they put Spock in at the end of The Wrath of Khan.
Bye!
