The Simpsons | Interviews | Matt Groening's Desert Island Flicks
The End of Futurama

Futurama Or, why faxing Fox might not work.

Matt went on to talk about Futurama.

'You may have heard a rumour that the show has been cancelled - that rumour is true! (Laughs) The network has got another season to show, and hasn't ordered another after that.'

It turns out that Matt is a neighbour of Rupert Murdoch, who owns the Fox network. Matt bumped in to him one day, after sending him a note about the possible cancellation. All Murdoch said was that 'it doesn't look good'.

Matt was hugely appreciative of the on-line petition to save the show - which has got over 100,000 signatures already.

'Apparently, the fans are faxing it to Fox one page at a time. If that's true, they'll never pick up the show!'
