"Futurama" (1999) More at IMDbPro »

Hello Furama fans! The answer is YES they are! The show is supposedly to start in 2010...It might of been earlier but Fox was threatening to re-cast the voice actors, such as Bender, Fry, Leela, and so on so forth. It is said that they were putting out auditions for new voices to scare the original ones so they wouldn't have to pay as much to the original cast. With that out of the way, Fox and Futurama has come to an agreement, signed a contact for 26 brand new episodes.

Here are some links so you can see for yourself...

Now here comes the nitty gritty... Fox and Comedy Central are said to be fight who is going to air it on their channel....

NOTE:ANY NEW INFO COMES ALONG, PLEASE POST

NOTE #2 :PLEASE IF ANYONE KNOWS WHEN THE AIR DATE ON THE NEW ONES START PLEASE POST!!!!

Four seasons of the show were produced; however, Fox aired the show at rather inconsistent intervals and often replaced the show with sports games so lots of unaired episodes were left over. They decided to just air these episodes as a fifth season. Hence there are four production seasons (considered the show's true seasons) and five airing seasons.

It's debateable whether or not the 16 episode-segments of the 4 dvd movies produced count as a new season themselves. If this were the case, there would be 5 production seasons and 6 airing seasons. Each movie features 4 production codes like the ones assigned to episodes which can be seen during the end credits. This would suggest that officially the movies do count as a 5th production season. The production codes are 5ACV01-5ACV04 for Bender's Big Score Parts 1-4, 5ACV05-5ACV08 for The Beast With a Billion Backs Parts 1-4, 5ACV09-5ACV12 for Bender's Game Parts 1-4 and 5ACV13-5ACV16 for Into the Wild, Green Yonder Parts 1-4 respectively.

Fox owns the majority of legal rights and such, however Matt Groening maintains the creative rights to the show.

Comedy Central currently own the syndication rights to the show.

There are actually two correct answers to this question.

In several episodes, Bender gives his name as "Bender B. Rodriguez", and reveals in "Luck of the Fryish" that "Bending" is his middle name, as in "Bender Bending Rodriguez". This name is also used for him in "The Cyber House Rules", when the orphanarium of Leela's childhood is renamed "The Bender B. Rodgriguez Orphanarium", in honor of his generous donation of "1200 wing-wangs".

However, in an easter egg found in the Season 1 DVD set, creator Matt Groening gives Bender's true name as "Bending Unit 22", and there's at least one on-screen written reference to him by this name in "The Deep South". Near the end of the episode, Bender is awarded a check for catching a record-breaking fish, and the check is made out to "Bending Unit 22".

The use of "Bending Unit 22" on a check made out to Bender suggests that this is his proper name, however, he is more frequently referred to in the series as "Bender B. Rodriguez", so which name is actually his full name is up for debate.

Turanga is not necessarily her first name, but rather her surname. Similar to some Asian traditions, the surname, or family name, comes first, then the individual's first name. You can see this by the way her name and her parents' names are written (Turanga Leela, Turanga Morris, Turanga Munda).

Leela's name apparently comes from a 1949 piece of music by Olivier Messiaen, the Turangalîla-Symphonie. According to Wikipedia, he came by the name of the piece via two Sanskrit words, turanga and lîla, which roughly translate into English as "love song and hymn of joy, time, movement, rhythm, life, and death." Some sources say Messiaen's original program notes described Turangalîla as "superhuman, overflowing, dazzling and abandoned" -- character traits also of Futurama's Leela.

In "Mother's Day," Mom says that he has the same "lovely shade of milky white." They are never to be seen in any episode, though.

There is said to be one spin off show such as the Cleavland show, it's called everybody loves hyponotoad.... is this correct and if so, where can i find a LEGAL ( :( ) copy?
