Last night (in the US) the final episode of Futurama aired. Or was it? This series has come back from cancellation before… http://ftotips.com/2013/06/08/oh-cruel-fate-to-be-thusly-boned/ Without getting to spoilery, all I’ll say is ~ if ‘Meanwhile’ was indeed the final Futurama episode ever (as a dedicated fan) I’m satisfied ♥ ♥ 🙂
But I really hope we haven’t heard the last from Futurama… I’ve already read that a crossover episode with The Simpsons is in the works for season 25 (or 26). Here’s the thing… this gets me crazy with anticipation. Once they’ve been in a Simpsons’ episode maybe that makes the Planet Express crew eligible for inclusion in The Simpsons Tapped Out game.
Now for a confession… I enjoy Futurama as much as I do The Simpsons – maybe more, because I’m a huge science fiction fan. Back in June when final new episodes started airing on Comedy Central, I got all fired up about the idea of EA possibly creating Futurama Tapped Out. I even created a whole ‘FTO Tips’ blog just in case.
The problem is, with only 140 episodes compared to The Simpsons massive 530 episodes (so far), I’m not sure if Futurama has a big enough fan-base to support the development of a full Tapped Out game of its own. Not yet, at least. If EA made a Futurama expansion to TSTO (like Krustyland), this would expose Fry, Bender and the PE gang to a tremendous number of TSTO players worldwide. This might stimulate enough interest to then spin-off a full FTO version. I actually proposed a scenario for a TSTO-Futurama expansion in this previous post…

Anyway, Futurama seems to be far from over… I’ve spotted rumors about all kinds of things including a ‘video game’ (maybe FTO?) and more Direct-to-DVD movies. I even saw talk of a full length theatrical movie and possibly even bringing the series back to Fox TV. Take heart Futurama fans, I really don’t believe we’ve heard the last from Professor Farnsworth and his zany team of misfits. 😀

I haven’t seen it yet. Ill probably cry when it’s over as I did in about 5 different episodes. *Overclockwise* at the end.
I feel you on the sad factor. The ‘Jurassic Bark‘ episode has about drained my tear ducts dry (more than once) 😉
But no worries mastersneasle ~ this is (IMHO) a very happy series finale. Plus it leaves things very open for………????
I’m watching it in 6 hours or so.
Jurassic Bark wasn’t that moving until the last 10 seconds or so. It wasn’t great episode wise but the *The Fate of Philip J Fry* (name uncertain) was the best. EVER. Also does last episode contain Zoidberg vomit?
If you mean ‘The Late Philip J. Fry‘ then you’ll love this episode. BTW: To be honest, I’m probably overly sentimental about Jurassic Bark because it reminds me of my beloved Shi Shu ‘Scruffy’ (RIP 2005)
Yes that’s the one! Does Meanwhile have Zoidburg vomit? I ❤ Zoidburg! If u look up Zoidberg vomit on YouTube that's my video. The first one.
Didn’t spot any Zoidberg puke in the final episode, but it’s still two-pincers-up in my book 🙂
I watched meanwhile. I was near tears at the start , because I knew it’d be the last new Futurama I’d ever see. And I was sobbing out loud at the end.
“Go around one more time?”
“Okay.”
Shame they or Zoidberg didn’t have kids.
