Write to the following address:

Futurama
P.O. Box 900
Beverly Hills, CA 90213-0900
Attn: FUTURAMA

Please express your support for the show and urge other people to do the same. Futurama deserves another few years. It's too soon to see it canceled.

Remember to be polite in your letters. Rudness and insults won't help.

What the hell is wrong with Fox? First Family guy, now Futurama? Fox needs to realize that both shows are funny, and the reason why they're not getting good ratings is because both have very bad time slots.

7 PM on a Sunday? Most people on the east coast are still watching football at 7.

And 8:00 on Thursday for Family Guy? Please. I have to use two VCRs on Thursday; one to tape Friends, the other to tape Family Guy.

I really like Futurama especially the Valentines episode....that was funny.

I am disgusted beyond belief with FOX.

It's obvious they want out of the animation business, except for the Simpsons, since it is the longest running Comedy on TV right now.

David Letter man always referred to network execs as "weasels."

That's what they are, weasels!

I need a drink..

I like Futurama better than the simpsons sometimes. What are they going to do when The Simpsons are cancelled? They need a cartoon to save them and Futurama can do the job!

Amen!

FOX has ignored all of their non-Simpsons animated shows.
That is my point. Do they want out fo the animation business?
Why not just admit it? Don't leave us hanging!
The Simpsons is old news. Why not give other animated shows a chance?

I have an idea for FOX. Since X-Files is ending, maybe they should consider moving Futurama and King of the Hill to later on Sundays. FOX could replace them at 7 with something inexpensive, like "The World's Funniest groin injuries".

The line-up from 8-10 p.m. on Sundays:

8 p.m. The Simpsons
8:30 Futurama
9 p.m. Malcolm in the Middle
9:30 King of the Hill

I'm sure if FOX did this, Futurama would become hugely popular.

TJL · 02-17-2002, 12:42 PM

I was thinking of the same thing, only my schedule would be...

8:00 - King Of the Hill
8:30 - Futurama
9:00 - Simpsons
9:30 - Family Guy

A two hour block of animated fare!

Ah, what a wonderful world it would be...

Good lineup, but why have Simpsons moved to 9:00? I think that show is fine where it is at 8:00. Not that I'm complaining or anything.

In any case, The Simpsons would make a good lead-in to Futurama as it was in 1999.

8:00 The Simpsons
8:30 King Of The Hill
9:00 Futurama
9:30 Family Guy

Malcolm In The Middle is strong. It can hold its own on Wednesday nights.

Central Perk · 02-17-2002, 03:15 PM

8:00-Futurama
8:30- The Simpsons
9:00- King of The Hill
9:30- Family Guy

I agree Malcom can move to Wed. before Bernie mac.
