FUTURAMA: BENDER'S BIG SCORE
August 5th 2007 02:32
I didn’t expect that Futurama: Bender's Big Score would be released straight to DVD. Being an Emmy Award-winning program, I assumed it would be a definite film for the cinema as well as a certain big hit.
The series is created by Matt Groening, also the creator of The Simpsons, and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen for the Fox network. It chronicles the adventures of Philip J. Fry, a former New York City pizza delivery boy after he is cryonically frozen at midnight, January 1, 2000, and then revived one thousand years in the future.
The DVD will be released in stores on November 27th 2007 (in the States), and then will be followed by three other films, “The Beast with a Million Backs," "Bender's Game," and "The Wild Green Yonder." The four straight to DVD movies will be comprose of 16 episodes that will be aired on Comedy Central in 2008.
In February 2007, Futurama co-creator Matt Groening answered questions as to whether it had been revived in episodic or feature-film form, explaining the film crew is "writing them as movies and then we're going to chop them up, reconfigure them, write new material and try to make them work as separate episodes."
If you would like more of an idea of what to expect, this is a quote I found from worstpreviews.com.
"As Xmas 3007 approaches, the 'Futurama' crew must fight to save Earth in an epic battle against nudist alien Internet scammers. When the evil naked aliens launch a cyber-attack on Planet Express, they make a shocking discovery: the secret of time travel, mysteriously tattooed on Fry's buttocks. Using their devious nudist software to control Bender, they repeatedly send the beer-fuelled robot back in time to loot Earth of its greatest treasures. Bender's rampage through history has shocking repercussions when he encounters Al Gore (guest-starring as himself) during the 2000 Presidential recount. Meanwhile, Leela finds true love, a beloved crew member suffers an embarrassing decapitation, and Fry learns deep secrets about his destiny and his buttocks."

This show is one of the few shows I will switch the TV on for and I am pleased it is back on, now that that stupid Bid Brother is finished for a while... how could you even compare the two? *chuckle*
Anyeehoo... I wondered if anyone knows why it was cancelled?
I look forward to this video and may put it in the kids Christmas Stocking this year...if I venture out to the shops that is..*lol*
