I kind of want to see some show get kept on life support through crowdfunding, only to suck just as much as every other show that's kept alive past the point where the writers ran out of good ideas. Then we'll have an example to hold up showing how fans aren't any smarter than network executives.
Noooooooooo. This is so sad, I don't know what to say. This is my favourite show bar none so I really hope another network will pick this up. I don't want Futurama to end :-(
Ahh, Futurama, you weird, lovely piece of sci-fi comedy.
In a way, it already lived longer than many, even many of the producers themselves ever thought it would live. Fun-fact: Several of the episodes throughout the series were already planned to be the "finals".
And while i often feel nostalgia when a good series ends, better make it a good ending, rather an abrupt one, or letting it go on and on and on, just for the sake of going on.
Then again, if the producers really want to continue it, in this case i bet they'll eventually find a way to re-revive it

I would seriously pay a buttload of money to keep the show going, though I think the best kickstarter could fund is a single episode, or maybe two.
The tragedy is that I watch these episodes mostly via the Internet, with no legal way to pay the network for the privaledge. If they would offer me a service to stream and watch these when (or shortly after) they air, I would pay for it. But International bullshit rights and licensing, as well as the lack of such a service means that's not an option.
I really hope Fox or another group pick this up.
Bad news nobody......
I'm a huge fan of Futurama and can practically recite the first four seasons (My old roommates actually tested this a couple of times)the movies and new episodes have been touch and go but I still get at least one good laugh per episode. I'm sad to see it end but so long as it gets a proper send off its probably for the best.

I feel like I should be sad, but this makes sense. Many of the "post-revival" episodes just don't have that spark that the first four seasons did. It's had a good run and has earned the right to actually bow out gracefully. Granted, it's still enjoyable enough that I'd absolutely watch smaller-budget 15 minute Adult Swim episodes or something.
Oh, and I still love The Simpsons. No, not all post-movie episodes are great and a couple pretty much suck, but that show has made me feel better inside for far too many years. It's amazing that for the entire length of my existence on earth, they've kept great writers, the same voice actors, and maintained some kind of relevance despite massive cultural and technological shifts. Doing that is not always going to be pretty and the fact that it happens at all is something that commands my respect.

scruffy needs a new $300 haircut, this one's lost it's pizaz.
the problem is you'll get side character-itis and scruffy will get all kinda of boring very quickly
you'd be better off showing him as the side to another group, or not at all
