There are still 11 episodes being produced and if ratings for both FOX
and Cartoon Network Stay high they might renew the show(of course that
requires fans to Watch FOX when its on there network and to email, spam,
mail, hunt fox executives with an m4a1 with 40 clips, and other such things
to make fox realise the show is good) after all the good ratings Cartoon
network is getting because of it im sure Fox is regretting there descission
to cut production for a while.
Also there will be a Futurama movie in 2005 regardless of whether its
cancelled after this year or not. (NOTE THE AFTER NEXT YEAR PART) so now i
leave it to you the fans to save the show. BTW posting here doesnt help you
need petitions emails snail mail phone calls ect. ect. to save the show AND
Fox does not hate Futurama, they hate the fact they cant control it, you see
Matt Groening wouldnt sell them all the rights to the show they wanted to
change the show EXAMPLE they think Bender is to mean and want to make him
more kid friendly.
Matt Groening thinks ever since he sold the rights to the Simpsons
that they ruined his vision and hes right the last 3 seasons of the Simpsons
have been REAL BAD. Futurama should be the Simpsons replacement the Simpsons
have been on 10 years and has been manipulated by Fox to the point to where
it is garbage.

In short do what you can to help get the show renewed.

Nothing is getting this show renewed, guy. It was cancelled LAST YEAR and the
remaining episodes left to air have been finished for a long time. The cast
and crew have long moved on. The show is a ratings loser on FOX and CN cant
afford to spend the money to make new episodes. And e-mailing and (worse yet)
spam mailing FOX isnt going to do a damn thing. Live with it.

There are zero episodes currently being "produced", and only six
episodes that have never been aired. Assuming "11 episodes being
produced" means "11 episodes yet to air", the original quote would be
from between 1/12/03 and 3/2/03.

Considering that, even after seeing the CN ratings, Fox replaced
Futurama with Simpsons reruns (and, when the Simpsons reruns were
moved when The Pitts was pulled after something like four episodes,
with King Of The Hill reruns), I don't think Fox is regretting
anything other than sinking money into The Pitts.

I think it's safe to say that, in light of how much money CN lost with
The Powerpuff Girls Movie (something that sounded like a sure-thing
hit when it was first announced), and in light of Fox's history with
animated movies (does "Titan A.E." ring any bells?), a Futurama movie
isn't about to be made by anybody.

At least Futurama DVDs get audio commentaries for all of its episodes,
unlike a couple of shows I can think of (coughFamilyGuy
coughSouthParkSeries2)

Lol, I think they were pointing out that your "quote" was either unreliable,

The PPG do not have the same following as the Simpsons.

The simpsons are huge, and it has proven over and over again, it can
move merchendise.

Now, there is always a risk, however, when you look at thing
historically, you can pick a lower risk move. Consider that NOT having a
Simsons movie is also a risk. So they feel that the risk of NOT having a
simsons movie is greater then the risk of beginning to move forward on a
movie.

A Futurama movie need not be released in the theatres. It can be
released straight to DVD and marketed to fans and a few others at a
reasonable profit, just like the Futurama TV boxsets. This being the
case, I don't think we'll see anything besides the Futurama TV
boxsets.
