Futurama is back!Comedy Central has commissioned a full 26-episode series of Matt Groening's sci-fi toon, six years after it was cancelled (where were the petitioners then? It deserved 20 times the hoo ha of Chuck). So many possible story lines to come... Surrender your mysteries to Zoidberg.
The Cleveland Show is real!
So, what seemed like an elaborate April Fool's joke is for real. Of all the Family Guy characters, Cleveland has his own spin-off. And, judging by the new trailer, it'll be as bad as it sounds - the funniest line in it is a farewell from Stewie Griffin. Cleveland has suddely acquired a fat son, leaves Quahog and marries his high school sweetheart. She's got a sassy tramp daughter (yawn - trying to make up for the vacuum that is Meg) and a toddler son who talks like an adult (what an original idea, don't you think, Stewie?). Then there are random anthropomorphised animals. The neighbours are bears and Cleveland gets harassed by roid-rage bull. The great thing about cartoons is that you can do whatever you like. That can also be the worst thing about them.
