Let it lie low for another year, then maybe people will rediscover it.
Actually Fox was surprised at how well the season sets have been selling. Id like to bring up the return of the Family Guy. It was cancelled for the same reasons as Futurama. Fox recently brought it back for December 2004. It was brought back with a combination of high DVD sales and high cartoon network ratings. Futuramas cartoon network ratings are equal with Family Guys. Family Guy did have higher DVD sales and it is a cheaper show to produce. Family Guys return does give some hope for Futurama but its still not set in stone. Ive done everything I could. Bought the first 3 seasons on DVD and tryed to show it to as many people as I can to try to grow its fan base. I have succeed well. Once people sit and watch this show they realize just how clever and funny it is. If all fans do the same thing its fan base could grow big enough to bring the show back from the dead. Personally id like for new episodes to air on Adult Swim and not Fox. One of my favorite fan posters was a picture of Bender with a Fox logo on his butt saying "Bite my shinney metal ass"
