Sweet Zombie Jesus!

According to Yahoo! News, Futurama might be coming back.

I'd heard about the proposed direct-to-DVD movie, but this article seems to indicate that the show may go back in to regular production.

From the article:

Following the hugely successful resurrection of Family Guy, Fox execs are reportedly in talks to bring Futurama back from the dead.

The studio has begun talks to revive the Emmy-winning animated series and produce a limited number of new episodes, thanks to a resurgence in the show's popularity on DVD and in reruns, Variety reports.

Reps for 20th Century Fox have declined to comment on the news, but Variety says initial negotiations have begun.

If revived, it's unclear exactly which network would air the new episodes. While Fox housed the original series, the show found new life once reruns began showing on the Cartoon Network. Comedy Central subsequently snapped up the off-air rights and will exclusively air the repeats beginning in 2008.

I'd rather see the show on either Cartoon Network or Comedy Central. They'd at least give it a consistent timeslot, I bet.

Here's hoping.
