I've stopped watching new shows as a result of the cancellations of so many good shows. Now I only bother if it has a good run or completes. I only just started watching Lost. Futurama is excellent and I'm glad it has been renewed but it is a rarity that shows survive this long regardless of quality, especially shows that get cancelled and then come back.

Not watching new shows saves a lot of time and I guess I should thank those willing to waste their time getting into a new show with all the risk of cancellation and the disappointment associated.

Should be titled . . .

Only the very last scene (all of a few seconds long) was written before the first season started, and honestly with the producers' penchant for lying through their teeth ("everything on the island will be scientifically explainable"), I have a hard time believing even that. You are right that they had to make up a lot of stuff because they didn't anticipate getting so many seasons, and it definitely shows.

Best Episodes come from Classic SciFi

Futurama really shines when it takes a classic sci-fi story and give it a comic twist. Like The last season had The Late Philip J. Fry, which was almost directly cribbed from Flight to Forever by Poul Anderson. That seems like a pretty easy formula to follow so I hope they keep it up.

Exactly.

I've never understood the appeal of J.J. Abram's work in general. I mean, how can you find talent in someone who's resume is made up of garbage like Mission Impossible III and Star Trek?

Amazingly generic, perhaps. It was all action fluff with no real sci-fi or exploration.
