I guess I was slightly confused about the future of Futrama. Just read a quote from Matt Groening when interviewed about the Simpson's movie. Originally I though the format of the new season was this 4 "mini-movies", but it looks like those are separate. First DVD out "for the holidays" this year or next I wonder.
Matt Groening also briefly spoke about his other series "
Futurama" which will be returning in a big way later this year. "We're doing four straight-to-DVD 'Futurama' movies and then new episodes on Comedy Central starting in 2008. The first DVD for 'Futurama' will be out for the holidays."
