I really hope that they come to their senses and bring it back because it is probably my favourite show of all time.

WTF was the deal with Variety's annoying - and obsessive - misuse of the word "skein"? Jesus Horatio, that made me want to gouge my eyes out. What a pretentious piece of faux-intellectual white-trash writing. Ugh.
Do hope Futurama comes back, tho. I don't think it coincidental that all of these FOX shows (Futurama, Family Guy, Firefly) have such huge cult followings yet get the axe by FOX. Idiots.

Idiots.Variety has been raping the English language for decades now. They're the sort of people who think "Alphabet" is a useful abbreviation for ABC. Just think about the kind of mind that comes up with that.
I almost want to give Fox credit for putting on cult shows in the first place - you can almost certainly add Arrested Development to that list - but then I think of "War at Home" and decide that Fox really only deserves Stewie Griffin's promise that their death be quick and painless.
When is Herman's Head coming back, that's what I want to know.

Right after Get A Life comes back.

Variety has been using colorful lingo forever. I enjoy it.
Besides, in this instance, they're only writing about some cartoon.

Add Arrested Development to that list and it's very apparent that it isn't a coincidence. And yes, they are.

Psh. If Futurama is just "some cartoon," then River Plate is just "some football team."

Unfortunately, that's just what they've been recently.
Okay, sorry for the "some cartoon" remark.
