I'VE SIGNED THE PETITION, SIGNATURE NUMBER 134,042, so clearly I'm not the only

an irrelevant statistic, I have yet to meet another soul aside from my husband 
who actually watched the show. Too bad, because Futurama, a hyperkinetic hybrid 
of The Simpsons and Star Trek, is one of the most brilliant sci-fi parodies ever
conceived. If there were any doubts about Matt Groening's genius, Bender blew 
them away.

No more Futurama???  I really loved that show!  Bender was such a loveable jerk.
And I hoped one day Leela would find love.  Oh well.


The Futurama episode which had the cast of the original Star Trek series on it 
was sheer genius.  

very sad,

John
