'''Paco''' is a student at Columbiac University, and a member of the Ink Jets gang. In [[3012]], he attended class with [[Bender]], shared some spark with him, attacked him, after he took the spark for himself, and agreed to sell the spark to him, for five [[currency|bucks]], although the sale was stopped by the [[Robot Mafia]], who took the money {{et|7ACV09}}.

Cancellation of Futurama

2013-04-23T04:59:24Z

Svip: +about

{{about|the first cancellation|the second cancellation|Second Cancellation of Futurama}}

In [[2003]], when [[The Curiosity Company|the production company]] of ''[[Futurama]]'' were waiting for [[FOX Network|FOX]] to order a fifth production season in wake of the [[Season 4|fourth production season]]'s production being almost finished, no call came, effectively labelling '''''Futurama'' as cancelled''',<ref name="com-bbs-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |film=Bender's Big Score}}</ref> ending the show's [[original run]].

In early [[2006]], after successful [[DVD releases|DVD sales]] and popular syndication on [[Adult Swim]], [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] decided to order four [[films]] as a [[Season 5|fifth production season]],<ref name="com-bbs-dxc"/><ref name="com-bbs-mg">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Groening|Matt}} |film=Bender's Big Score}}</ref> and the show started its [[second run]] in June of [[2010]].

== Causes ==

The first and foremost cause of FOX refusing to order new episodes after four production seasons is attributed to the price of show and the decreasing popularity of the show. Despite ''Futurama''{{'}}s pilot episode, "[[Space Pilot 3000]]", being the most watched pilot episode on FOX when it aired,<ref name="com-epSP3K-jd">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|DiMaggio|John}} |episode=Space Pilot 3000 |volume=One |disc=1 |quote=Wasn't this the highest rated debut in Fox history? Am I mistaken in saying that? I think it was.}}</ref> the show had been decreasing slowly in popularity over time, and FOX was disappointed in the show, which they had assumed could gain a popularity like their other show, ''[[The Simpsons]]'', and even within FOX, arguments arose regarding whether they had kept ''Futurama'' alive for too long.

However, despite FOX's own disapproval of the show, FOX themselves was at least to some part to blame for the decreasing viewership of the show. Indeed, its popularity had not gone down, but rather the amount of viewers it had, as the show had moved to a less popular timeslot since "[[I, Roommate]]". In addition to the less popular timeslot, it was also highly unstable, as FOX would often put off an episode for another event, e.g. sporting or news reports. This made new episodes highly unpredictable for viewers.

Indeed, FOX's unstable airing eventually led to the airing of five broadcast seasons, rather than the four produced.<ref name="com-epAFTR-eh-seasons">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Horsted|Eric}} |episode=A Flight to Remember |volume=One |disc=3 |quote=This was show ten of the first season, when it was actually aired as the season première of the second season. So you can see how, sometimes, production seasons and air seasons don't match up.}}</ref><ref name="com-epTDHAIP-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings |volume=Four |disc=4}}</ref> Not only were episodes aired out of order, but examples like "[[The Route of All Evil]]" had to be pushed back two entire seasons.<ref name="com-epTROAE-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Route of All Evil |volume=Three |disc=3}}</ref> This unpredictable nature, the unpopular timeslot eventually lead to the demise of the viewership and the show's popularity in terms of numbers.

Despite the fact that "Space Pilot 3000", the pilot, was a very popular pilot episode in terms of viewership,<ref name="com-epSP3K-jd"/><ref name="pilot-ratings">{{cite web |url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117492811.html?categoryid=14&cs=1 |title=Fox sees 'Futurama' and it works |author=Bierbaum, Tom |date=1999-03-30 |publisher=Variety |accessdate=2010-02-07}}</ref> as well as the second episode, "[[The Series Has Landed]]",<ref name="ep2-ratings">{{cite web |url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117492973.html?categoryid=14&cs=1 |title='Futurama' cools, but still holds on to auds |publisher=Variety |author=Bierbaum, Tom |date=1999-04-06 |accessdate=2009-04-17}}</ref> whose popularity was attributed to the Sunday line up it was in, with the lead-in show of ''[[The Simpsons]]'' as well as ''{{w|X-Files}}'' after the show, FOX decided to move the show to its Tuesday line up instead, beginning with "I, Roommate", which as expected hurt the show's ratings.<ref name="ep3-ratings">{{cite web |url=http://www.variety.com/article/VR1117493047.html?categoryid=14&cs=1 |title=Fox's four-toon Tue. stumbles in first try |author = Bierbaum, Tom |publisher=Variety |date=1999-04-08 |accessdate=2009-04-19}}</ref> And the show continued to dwell on these ratings for four broadcast seasons.

== Cancellation ==



Technically, ''Futurama'' was never cancelled, it was simply not renewed.<ref name="com-bbs-mg"/> In usual [[production]], the purchase of an additional production season, usually comes near the end of its current production season, as to not put the production company on hold for too long, which would eventually cause a loss of money. By [[2003]], the [[Season 4|fourth production season]] was basically finished, and the producers were waiting for [[20th Century Fox Television]] to call with an order of another season. However, the call never came.

However, Fox had alerted the [[The Curiosity Company|production company]], that "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings" could be the last episode they'll ever make,<ref name="com-epTDHAIP-dxc"/> as such its [[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings#Production|production]] was developed with that in mind, and at the very least was written as a season finale. It should later turn out to be that series finale, they had feared.<ref name="com-epTDHAIP-dxc"/>

Second cancellation of Futurama

2013-04-23T04:58:24Z

Svip: Rewrote the article to fit its new purpose.

{{about|the second cancellation|the first cancellation|Cancellation of Futurama}}
On 22 April 2013, ''EW.com'' could reveal that ''[[Futurama]]'' would not be renewed,<ref name="ew-cancelled">{{cite web |url=http://insidetv.ew.com/2013/04/22/futurama-not-renewed-comedy-central/ |title='Futurama' to end seven-season run on Sept. 4 -- EXCLUSIVE |date=2013-04-22 |accessdate=2013-04-22 |author=Snierson, Dan |publisher=EW.com}}</ref> effectively '''cancelling ''Futurama'' for a second time'''.

== A brief history of ''Futurama'' ==
{{main|Production}}

Despite [[Fox Network|Fox]]'s initial discontent with ''Futurama'',<ref name="com-ep1-mg">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Groening|Matt}} |episode=Space Pilot 3000 |volume=One |disc=1}} </ref> the show remained somewhat stable for its first three production seasons, but by [[season 4]] Fox's ultimate intentions of [[Cancellation of Futurama|cancellation]] became clear.<ref name="com-ep72-dxc">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Cohen|David|X.}} |episode=The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings |volume=Four |disc=4}}</ref><ref name="com-f1-mg">{{cite commentary |speaker={{n|Groening|Matt}} |film=Bender's Big Score}}</ref>

However, already by 2003, had Cartoon Network's [[Adult Swim]] line up been putting ''Futurama'' first, in great contrast to the lack of respect it was given on Fox. And eventually, due to the successful cable syndication and DVD sales, [[20th Century Fox Home Entertainment]] ordered [[Films|four Direct-to-DVD films]] in 2006. Of course content with the good news, ''Futurama'' fans were at disagreement whether films were the right format for ''Futurama'', and even before ''[[Bender's Big Score]]'' did a hope linger on for a possible TV season if the films were successful.

And indeed [[Speculation of Futurama's return till the second run|speculation was rampant]] during 2008 and 2009 until June 2009, when [[Comedy Central]] could announce they had renewed ''Futurama'' with [[Season 6|26 episodes]].<ref name="futurama-returns">{{cite web |url=http://www.comedycentral.com/press/press_releases/2009/061009_futurama_returns.jhtml |title="Futurama" returns to production with an initial order of 26 episodes to premiere mid 2010 |publisher=Comedy Central |date=2009-06-09 |accessdate=2009-07-15}}</ref>

== Re-cancellation ==

Around February 2013, discussions among fans began to speculate why no news of a renewal of the show had been announced, which two years ago - when [[season 6]] was half way through its episodes - was announced. Only scarce news and hints came out of the production office, until the news finally hit two months later.<ref name="ew-cancelled" />

Without giving a specific reason, [[Comedy Central]]'s EVP of Programming, Dave Bernarth felt it was 'natural end to the show's improbable comeback'.<ref name="ew-cancelled"/> [[Matt Groening]] expressed little surprised, highlighting that they've been concerned about them coming back four times by now, referring to "[[The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings]]", ''[[Into the Wild Green Yonder]]'' and "[[Reincarnation]]".<ref name="ew-cancelled" /> Groening went on to imply that they are now wondering whether they could find a new home for ''Futurama'', such as a theatrical feature film release or perhaps producing online only episodes,<ref name="uproxx-suggestion">{{cite web |url=http://www.uproxx.com/gammasquad/2013/04/why-futurama-should-go-exclusively-online/ |title=Why ‘Futurama’ Should Go Exclusively Online |author=Seitz, Dan |date=2013-04-22 |accessdate=2013-04-23 |publisher=UPROXX}}</ref> but at present they were not actively looking for anything.<ref name="ew-cancelled" />

As of February, [[2011]], the '''status of ''[[Futurama]]''''' remains stable. ''Futurama'', with a current [[season 6|sixth production season]] airing and a [[season 7|seventh]] that has been announced, is now an active TV show.

Svip: /* "for a fourth time" */

News is more important than new Infosphere pages. Perhaps as old items are dropped, they could be added to a [[News Archive]]? Thoughts? --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 15:42, 8 July 2007 (PDT)
: Sounds like a good idea. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''[[User talk:Svip|Talk]] 15:58, 8 July 2007 (PDT)
::I don't think anyone will call that a bad idea. I'll go ahead and put the old news into the archive. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 17:58, 8 July 2007 (PDT)

== Another screenjabber review ==

I'd add it, but I don't know where to stick the item that falls off the bottom. [http://www.screenjabber.com/futurama_wildgreenyonderDVD It's here.] There are some spoilers, but he claims he's being more careful about that. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 01:36, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

==Sneak preview of 6ACV01==
''On the Animation SuperCon in Florida on 4 October, David X. Cohen along with the male cast, gave a sneak peak of the first three minutes of the first episode's animatic.[12] The original concept was for the story to take place in a new universe, but Matt Groening wanted to do the rebirth instead.[2] This sneak preview was leaked unto YouTube on October 4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wwUw0FQmDo).''

==RSS Feed?==
I'd like to add the latest Futurama News from this site to my RSS reader. Is there an RSS feed that I can use?
:There's an RSS feed of edits, but I think one for the "News" template would need to be manually created... Unless I'm wrong. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] ([[User talk:Buddy13|talk]]) 18:38, 2 February 2012 (CET)
::Right, I found the one for edits, but I'd like one for the news. What would be required to create one? This wiki is the best source of Futurama news that I've found so far.

Devil's hands, Wild green, Meanwhile and ?

Aren't those three [the] only actual ends? - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] ([[User talk:Quolnok|talk]]) 01:59, 23 April 2013 (CEST)

:Someone could be thinking of Reincarnation. I believe it was conceived to be an ending to the series in the event of cancellation, but nothing officially happened. -- [[User:DeepSpaceHomer|DeepSpaceHomer]] ([[User talk:DeepSpaceHomer|talk]]) 03:52, 23 April 2013 (CEST)
::I suppose so. But the wording suggests it actually ended, on that occasion it was renewed before the episode aired. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] ([[User talk:Quolnok|talk]]) 05:20, 23 April 2013 (CEST)

: If you ask me, and I suppose you don't, this is only the second time. The films should not be considered a run in itself, that can be cancelled. What was in limbo at the time was whether the show would return to television afterwards.

Svip: /* Quotes */

==[[Globetrotters]]==

I'm sorry. Though I still believe that the Globetrotters are not humans, I accept the only evidence that exists, which is the mention you brought up. I apologize again for my baseless insistence. [[User:ProfessorBlank|ProfessorBlank]] 20:34, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
:Don't worry. But I do write summaries to my edits for a reason. But I remember listening to the commentary and they did define them as humans, who had at one point in time simply gone off to their own planet for some reason.
:Infosphere considers the commentaries [[canon]] unless they are actually wrong (e.g. calling the whale seen in "[[Leela's Homeworld]]" [[Mushu]], which cannot be possible as Mushu is an episode that occurs later than the events of "Leela's Homeworld").
:Oh and, thanks for your contributions. :) --[[User:Svip|Svip]][[User talk:Svip|talk]] 20:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
One more thing: those anonymous edits were me forgetting to sign in. [[User:ProfessorBlank|ProfessorBlank]] 20:51, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
:Perhaps our warning on that note should be bigger and more eye catchy! --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 21:01, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for reverting the vandalism on your first edit as a registered user. Also, the screenshot of your CSS is looking awesome. I've been wanting to update the look around here, so keep up the good work and we just might use it! → {{User:Buddy13/sig}} 11:00, 8 March 2007 (PST)

:: Yes yes, I have all my wikis on Dreamhost systems. And yes, I have been modifying them. I'd gladly help. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 11:38, 8 March 2007 (PST)
::: Also, I added you to MSN, so we might talk. :o --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 11:40, 8 March 2007 (PST)
::::I don't have internet at home, so I almost never sign on to MSN anymore. But one of these days when I have a day off (maybe saturday or sunday), I'll do that and we can go over it and finally upgrade the Infosphere. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 11:44, 8 March 2007 (PST)
:Certainly a good start. Not sure that the page title should be blue highlighted though. Near Death Star probably shouldn't really be the logo. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 22:14, 8 March 2007 (PST)
::Yes the logo should be changed to the Infosphere but I like it - [[User:Humorbot 0.4|Humorbot 0.4]] 00:10, 9 March 2007 (PST)

Yeah, that's a great skin you got there. Hopefully the new Futurama-wiki skin sometime in a near future...ama! But I have to ask... what is the program you are using on the example for your Futurama-wiki skin? --IsakBQ 06:59, 9 March 2007 (PST)

[[Special:Version]] - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 17:53, 23 March 2007 (PDT)
: Then why can't I split up templates with new lines? I can do that on my own wikis and on Wikipedia. And a lot of other wikis.
: See the ''[[Template:Character infobox]] (usage)'' I made for what I mean it was suppose to look, but if you check the source of my user page, I must do it on one line. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 18:08, 23 March 2007 (PDT)
::Hmm, that IS odd; if we do start using infobox templates on most articles we should really figure out what's causing the difference, like you I've never seen a MediaWiki setup that DIDN'T allow the much more readable multi-line format for templates. Must be something Buddy has specifically configured, I think, since MediaWiki supports this out-of-the-box, with a default configuration... [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 09:44, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
:::Don't look at me. I think it's just the older, un-updated version we've got going here. I think I might be able to upgrade eventually, though. Sorry for the suckage. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 10:45, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
::::It's all good man, not everybody's a code monkey :) You really might want to concider giving server access to one of the active contributors who's more knowledgable about web programming, php/java etc, though, then you could just direct our requests and comments to them and go back to work :) [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 10:49, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
:::::The saddest part about all this is that—depending on your definition—, I am a codemonkey of sorts. I am fluent in the latest XHTML, CSS, and SVG, yet scripting has always escaped me. I'm finally learning JS, but it's a very slow process. I'll probably never learn PHP or anything that advanced. And as for server access... They'd have to earn a pretty high level of trust before I'd be handing out access to the files that run this place. It's a scary thought, the things people could do with that access. P.S., how's your knowledge of such things? --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 10:56, 19 April 2007 (PDT)

::::Good enough; I was a programmer first so I'm better at js/php than I am at css, and command lines don't phase me in the slightest. [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 11:06, 19 April 2007 (PDT)

:::::Congratulations, you now have access to the database. Info to follow. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 11:39, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
::::::I might add my skills for programming, I have been coding XHTML, CSS for years, too have I created PHP and MySQL systems for years as well. Recently I have started coding in C++, Java and other languages. I have good understanding of the MediaWiki system, mainly because I run a couple of Wiki's myself. And as for command lines, I am using the terminal on daily basis at home. I know that it has large advantages over usually GUI's. Here is some of the PHP work I have done: [http://demo.klinobluriean.org/forums/] And lately I have been working on a 2D engine for some game projects using SDL.

Thanks for fixing it, I just typed it from memory and hadn't gotten around to testing it yet, as I was editing two other articles at the same time. [[User:Gopher|Gopher]] 15:54, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
: I'd also like to apologies if I sounded a bit rude in the summary... --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''[[User talk:Svip|Talk]] 15:55, 19 April 2007 (PDT)
::It's all good, no hard feelings; I have a very high tolerance for such things. When I started ot make the Wikpiedia template I was planning to paste one I wrote on another wiki, which is far more flexible, then I remembered it needs many features not present in this version, and just spit that out as a placeholder.
::Since I haven't said so yet, I love the proposed css changes you've posted; I'm pretty sure Buddy agrees, so as soon as the upgrade is finished we'll get your changes made.

Hello, Svip. I am LAAFan on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:LAAFan the English Wikipedia] I just had a failed request for adminship there, and am looking for more experience. I was wondering if I could be a sysop on the Infosphere. Here are my stats from the English Wikipedia:

*I have rollback rights
*I have a triple crown (Featured article, good article, and did you know)
*I am currently being Admin Coached.

If granted, I would help out here, ultimately for the goal of adding it to my resume for an RFA at Wikipedia. If you want proof I'm LAAFan, just ask. I hope this request can be granted.--[[User:LAAFan|LAAFan]] 20:21, 13 September 2008 (BST)
:I do not doubt who you are. However, you may be in consideration for sysop if we ever were to obtain another. Though, I am not seeing the need, as of right now, and personally, we'd prefer if you actually prove yourself worthy to be a sysop. It took me the good deal of 8 months to get to the status.

I may have recalled it wrong, but if you watch the animatic for BBS, I think Farnsworth says it has been 2 years and not 4, meaning it was expected to be released in 2005 and not 2007. That's what I recall anyway.[[User:Anarchy Balsac|Anarchy Balsac]] 23:07, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
:I admit, that did quirk me originally. But given how work began in 2006, it would have been impossible without time travel for them to release it in 2005. In addition to that, 3007 does appear as a year in the first film, 3009 also appears in the last film. They clearly knew when they were expecting them. The 2 years ago from Farnsworth could be that the company continued to function 2 years after it was cancelled as a show, and the two years off from Fry could just be another indicator that he doesn't really remember correctly. It is odd, but I find it more likely to be purposefully rather than not. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''[[User talk:Svip|Talk]] 10:42, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for using yor talk page but I tell this to you because you're one of the administrators. Help! I'm [[User:TheFry|TheFry]]! I don't know why but [[The Infosphere (website)|The Infosphere]] does not recognize my account. It does when I enter to my user page but in the rest of the pages it marks me as not logged in. Did I do something? I edited some pages some hours ago and now, I'm an "IP user". Please tell me what I have to do.
:Oh, I fixed it... Oh, God... Thanks... That was odd. But now it's fixed. {{User:TheFry/sig}}

== Your hostility towards a new user ==

I don't know what your issue is, but just because I speak, spell and favor American English doesn't make me "some sort of jerk" as you asked while undoing an edit on a talk page that you weren't even involved in. [http://theinfosphere.org/index.php?title=User_talk:75.82.24.159&action=history] [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] failed to provide a reference showing that there is an official Infosphere rule that that "does not permit the changing of correct English text", and his claim that "a large portion of our visitors prefer the other [British English] style" is biased and unfounded.

Facts that can't be disputed are that ''Futurama'' is an American show; written by American writers and performed by American voice actors. It is not a British, Canadian or Australian show. Therefore it is only logical that American English be used in context to the series. Second, most of the world speaks/writes American English [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_language#Geographical_distribution] with numbers of over 215 million (in the US only, this number doesn't include the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Guam or the US Virgin Islands) people speaking American English as a first language by far outnumbering the sum of the UK (58 mil), Canada (18 mil) and Australia (16 mil) combined. These data are empirical: they can't be disputed. Quolnok's statement is subjective, and can be disputed. Please try to realize that this doesn't make me a jerk.

I have personally been to England, and am well aware of the spelling and syntax differences that exist between the dialects of American and British English. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 08:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)
:We have nothing against the usage of American English, however, we consider edits which only purpose is to change the English variant useless and will only result in disputes (see [http://theinfosphere.org/Infosphere:Frequently_Asked_Questions#faq-english FAQ], [[Infosphere:Manual of Style#Any English goes|Manual of Style]] and [[Infosphere:Rules#General editing rules|Rules]]).
:Your argument that ''Futurama'' is an American show is perhaps... useless. It's up to the editors who contribute to the wiki to choose which English they write it and are comfortable with. And on this wiki in particular, British and Australian English are the majority. Your argument that the amount of American English speaking people should be any point to make as well is also questionable, I find it unlikely that any of these are potential audience.
:So while Quolnok probably should have provided you with links (as I have), he is a Sysop, and basically what he says should be regarded as the rules of the land. So on your time this happened, we just friendly told you that such edits were discouraged and we assumed that would be the end of it, but since you continued to make the same type of edits, I assumed it was some sort of 'rebel sentiment' against rules you did not like. That is more a type of acting like a jerk than actually contribution to a decision you do not like. Good day. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''[[User talk:Svip|talk]] 09:36, 27 April 2010 (CEST)
::Indeed, I did fail to point to the rule, which I probably should have. [[I:MOS#Any_English_goes|Here it is]]. It is also true that Svip might have violated [[I:R#Talk_rules]] in his response as well. But there's also an unwritten rule about not changing other peoples comments on talk pages except to remove vulgarities and such things. While it can only be seen by administrators, the Google Analytics data shows us that approximately 50% of people who visit the site are in the USA. This rule may seem odd, and it is a little. At the time it was introduced the active users discussed it, there was a slightly higher number of EN-UK preferring people, including the three active members of the administrative team (a [[User:Buddy13|US American]], an [[User:Quolnok|Australian]] and a [[User:Svip|Dane]]). This way everyone is equally unhappy. By all means, use your favoured spelling, just don't remove the others' (the only exception being the EN-AU spelling of "gaol" for "jail", only we use that and it's falling out of favour anyway). - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 09:56, 27 April 2010 (CEST)
:::Svip, please realize that your behavior is inappropriate and uncalled for. Due to the rude and unfriendly nature of my almost immediate experiences here, I have no wish to create an account and frequent this site as I am now left with the impression that quick assumptions and name-calling are regular occurrences here, especially in light of you being in a position of authority. [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 10:51, 27 April 2010 (CEST)
::::I understand I may have been a bit over the top. But instead of just changing a Sysop's comment to an English you favour, you should have responded to his comment, even if your measure was to challenge the rule or demand pages describing the rule. Since you did not do that (and you did catch me on a particular bad day to begin with (but that is no excuse)), I felt you were treating my fellow Sysop with disrespect and that actually frustrated me.
::::But you are free not to join our site if you wish. No one is forcing you in, just don't be disrespectful against a Sysop who was actually being friendly.

:::::I'm sorry to hear you had a bad day, but how does that justify name-calling? Being in a position of authority here, you should be well aware that name-calling only leads to flame wars and useless banter (such as this).

:::::There are a few problems I've had with the attitudes and ideals shown to me in my short time here that I find quite disturbing. Some of the edits I made before I received Quolnok's initial message were from finding pages that included both American and British English. [[Scruffy]]'s page for example, uses both the American "color" and the British "colour". When I edited that page I was merely standardizing. After doing such on Scruffy's page and few others I received a message from Quolnok which told me that I couldn't change the spelling, only to subsequently find that Quolnok reverted the edits, effectively doing the very thing that he told me ''I'' couldn't do. The double standard was quite disturbing, especially in light of it being almost immediate. On top of that, he gave me no reference, and being a new user, how was I supposed to know that he's in a position of authority (Sysop), and not simply an Anglophile who dislikes American spellings? [[Special:Contributions/75.82.24.159|75.82.24.159]] 11:21, 27 April 2010 (CEST)

::::::A few points;
::::::# I already apologised for the name calling. And I said my bad day was no excuse as well. I was just providing a reason, not an excuse.
::::::# If your edit to the Scruffy article is so, then you should have written that in the edit summary below your edits box, to describe that you were 'merely standardising' the article. In fact, you should have said so when Quolnok addressed you.
::::::# There is no double standard; undoing an edit is a feature of how this wiki system works, it's to avoid things getting out of hands, as the links I provided you with would also testify, we specifically warn that such edits would indeed be reverted if not provided with a reasoning to do so. Reverting your edits was not doing what you couldn't do, but changing the article back to an earlier state.
::::::# In addition, Quolnok is listed in the [[Infosphere:About]] page, which provides you with a list of the three main active Sysops.
::::::Now while I don't expect new users to know all the rules, I might expect them to check out whoever they are talking to (clicking on Quolnok's user page link would also have told you he is a Sysop). But when a Sysop tells you did something wrong, don't just ignore it, respond, even if you are right in your actions; respond. Sysops are humans too, we make mistakes too. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''[[User talk:Svip|talk]] 11:30, 27 April 2010 (CEST)
:::::::I'm not saying that I was "right" and that Quolnok was "wrong". I didn't state anything in the edits box as I was merely (from an American English standpoint) correcting spelling errors. Sure, I could of stated that I standardizing, but felt no need to do so. I naturally had no idea that this was as big of deal here as it apparently is. So seeing Quolnok undo my edits ''appeared'' to be a double-standard, which rubbed me the wrong way so I lost any initiative to look further in this site.

Hi,
I am just saying, good call for not joining Wikia. If you have a look on Community Central, there is chaos due to Wikia announcing their new horrible skin. Good call for not merging with Futurama wiki. [[Special:Contributions/92.7.194.78|92.7.194.78]] 23:09, 29 September 2010 (CEST)
:Well, I often speak to people who have engaged with Wikia in the past, and the universal sentiment I get is: 'Don't make the mistake we did; Don't join them'. I decided to ask on issues I was concerned about; ads, skin, control and such. And they could not say they could promise anything. In fact, almost the opposite.
:Part of Wikia's problem is its philosophy. And I am not just talking about being ''for''-profit. Wikia feel that its most important user is its editors. And while I agree that editors are very important on wikis, they are not what the wikis are actually designed for; the readers. You see, Wikia is pretty good looking if you are an editor (no ads, easy buttons for editing and so on), but it looks horrendous if you are just there for reading articles, which -- they have to admit -- is sort of the point.

== Formatting rules ==

About a month ago I was editing [[A Leela of Her Own]] when I noticed a rule that said "The acts begin and end at commercial breaks, and they also correspond to the chapters of the DVDs." I started a discussion on the talk page because three of the acts were only two sentences long. After the discussion, the article was changed from 5 to 3 acts. Ignoring cold openings, I remember seeing a page that also had this problem. My question is, can this rule be removed, giving editors a carte-blanche to edit the page? Or does this rule still need to be upheld? [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 15:45, 4 April 2011 (CEST)

== Protection ==

Now that I finished the season six transcripts, I have decided to move make updates to the existing transcripts. The only real thing that these transcripts need is an minor fixes and links to newer pages. Yesterday, while I was updating the [[Transcript:Space Pilot 3000|transcript]] for Space Pilot 3000, I noticed that you protected the transcript from unregistered users but not the other transcripts. Wouldn't it make sense to protect all of them or none of them. I had a brief discussion with Sanfazer about this yesterday on his talk page if you want to hear my arguments. [[User:Teyrn of Highever|Teyrn of Highever]] 17:18, 5 April 2011 (CEST)
:The reason was that an IP user edited the transcript, so I decided to protect it. Then I realised it would be too much work protecting all transcript articles. Fortunately, MediaWiki allows you to protect a namespace which is defined by the 'edittranscripts' user right. See [[Special:ListGroupRights]] under 'autoconfirmed'. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''[[User talk:Svip|talk]] 17:23, 5 April 2011 (CEST)

It's definitely more legible, but now it's not antialiased at all. It looks like it was made in MSPaint. If you wanna wait "a few minutes" I can whip something nice up in Inkscape. Something that's already at the appropriate size so it won't have resizing issues. I'm working on a project at the moment, but I should get a little free time later tonight.

== Discussion ==

The show will celebrate its fourteenth birthday tomorrow. I think this is an appropriate time for us to inaugurate a whole new section in the main page, the '''anniversaries''' section. We can start with air dates and release dates of episodes, films, comics, and box sets. Fans would check back every day to know which episode they should watch. We can also take a few anniversaries from the news archive. (One more possibility is in-universe events.)

==New look?==
It seems that both the wikis that I look to for inspiration [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page] [http://www.hrwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page] have changed the way their main pages are presented. Should we retain the old style, or alter our a bit? We don't need to copy them exactly, obviously (they're both different, anyway), but perhaps we could make a few changes? Suggestions welcome.

:::::Yes, I had the same issue. I was like "What? It's not different at all!" but then I changed it from monobook. As for critiques, I personally think that the "tabs" at the top shouldn't be so tall. Maybe shrink them? And now that I see it in action, perhaps a gradiented line ''would'' work well there. And the affiliates area bores me. Perhaps if we rotated them all 90 degrees...? And maybe a faded effect like some sites have, where it turns to its normal colours when moused-over? I have an idea for what the muted version would look like. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 00:53, 16 August 2009 (UTC) [update]: Well, I created the images. I think they look rather nice. I went through a few different versions before settling on a method for the muted version. But I think that it will help our visual presentation maintain a consistency that will look nice, and the creators' images will look normal when moused over. I assume you're familiar with the "sliding door" mouseover effect? (If not, it's in use on my www.overt-ops.com menu on the left -- it allows mouseovers without any lag for loading times.) Let me know where you want the images (or take them yourself, they're [http://overt-ops.com/uploads/ftrm/ here]). Hope those work. The benefit of them being sideways is that they'll fill the space more effectively, and I think it'll look nice. I could also create muted versions for the MediaWiki and FMF buttons on the bottom if you're interested... --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 02:29, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
::::::Sideways?! That sounds crazy! Wouldn't that just take up ''more'' space on the side? Remember, each item is a list item right now. I like the idea of muted colours (even for the FMF and MediaWiki icons) (and I know how you do it, trust me, I've have done it before myself (however, I'd recommend putting them all together in a single BIG image, which reduces loading time ''a lot'')), but I am not a big fan of the 90 degree turning. --[[User:Svip|Svip]] 13:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

== News Template ==

There was no reason to create a template for something that was almost never updated. However, now that the new season is nigh, converting to template makes perfect sense. We could even post info about upcoming airings like other show-centric wikis do. Example: [http://www.lostpedia.com/wiki/Main_Page]
:Such a change will potentially call for a redesign. In reguards to the list of airings, presumably international, would the comics also be listed there? I suspect DVD releases for all countries will go into the news section. - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] 21:14, 24 March 2007 (PDT)
::Well, I based our front page design on that of the [http://www.hrwiki.org Homestar Runner wiki], and they've upgraded their appearance three or four times since then. You have no idea how frustrating it is not having internet at home. It makes it impossible to spend time working on this place. But if the entire community wants to create a new main page (at [[Main Page Proposal]], for example]]), then we can perfect a new design and then have a fancy new main page. Any design elements that require images, that'd be fine to upload them while it's in proposal form, and then I'll upload them properly after a design is finalized. --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 12:53, 27 March 2007 (PDT)

Looks like we may need to remove that quote before too long. Perhaps another quote would do? Or no quote at all?

Thoughts? --[[User:Buddy13|Buddy]] 14:53, 19 August 2007 (PDT)

there should be a link to it's page ([[The Infosphere (website)]]) in the title, i can't edit the page.--[[User:Scruffy|My leg feels funny!]] 04:56, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

== Main page for an active show ==

''Futurama'' is - no matter how you wish to look at it - an active show. It's alive! ''[cue thunderstorm]''

However, with such a feature (as nice as it may be), the main page need to reflect this. Go about your business with other wikis of TV shows (specifically those of active shows).

After some reasoning I am thinking of the following new structure (of the two columns):

{|
| style="vertical-align: top;" |
* Current episode (or upcoming episode, season, etc.)
* Featured article
* Did you know (?)
* Other
| style="vertical-align: top;" |
* News
* New articles
|}

I assume people are more interested in current episodes and ''Futurama news'' than what we are currently prioritising. In addition, I feel featured articles should a lot higher up. It can seemingly go amiss among the other content.

Comments?

--[[User:Svip|Svip]] 22:02, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

== Upcomin Episode pic ==
Could we not use the screenshot from Bender's Big Score to represent Holiday Val-U-Pak? For one thing, the picture isn't actually from Holiday Val-U-Pak, and for another thing, if the show continues to have long gaps between seasons, we may not be able to find screenshots from older episodes that can represent these new ones. I think we should just use the "AwaitingScreenie" file from now on. - [[User:Unit 3.0]] 18:45, 8 September 2010 (UTC)

== serious rendering issues ==

Is anyone else having rendering problems with certain pages? For instance, [[Turanga Leela]] is fine, while [[Robot Devil]] is laid out and formatted completely wrong, and practically unusable (oddly, [[Robot devil]], i.e. the same page viewed through a redirect, is fine). I've tried clearing cache, and I've tried multiple browsers, but they're all the same. On the "bad" pages, the main site logo is missing, the font reverts to the browser default, and everything other than the main article content (e.g. left and top bars) is shoved down to the end of the article.

I checked the page source, and there are significant differences in the html header section. The "good" page has 3 linked stylesheets and a short additional style definition, and that's it. The "bad" page has 7 linked stylesheets, none of which are the same as the good page. These appear to be the problem, since adding the stylesheets from the good page (to a local copy I made) fixes the rendering... No idea why it's occurring on the site, though. --[[Special:Contributions/192.91.171.42|192.91.171.42]] 22:12, 2 December 2010 (CET)
:Svip did an upgrade or something a few months back, I think these badly cached pages are still lingering from then.

::The 'everything gets a page' is not meant as a blanket cheque for everything. What? Should we have an article for the third prime minister of Australia as well? No. Only things that gets mentioned on ''Futurama'' or has a relevance to ''Futurama'' in some fashion. But sure you ask, [[Australian Man]] comes from Australia, but the problem is; he is just called 'Australian Man', nothing about Australia is otherwise important.

Table:Futurama's re-re-cancellation

2013-03-18T08:07:50Z

Svip: /* Discussion */

{{conference table thread}}


== Discussion ==

Judging from [http://www.peelified.com/Futurama-Forum-1/Topic-23721-200-The_Futures_News_Today_Fu.html this] and [http://www.futurama-madhouse.net/forum/index.php?topic=4749.msg212153#msg212153 this thread] on [[PEEL]] and [[FMMB]], respectively, it would seem that [[season 7]] will be the last ''Futurama'' season. However, ''this'' is the Infosphere, and we only go by official statements and things in the press.

So this is merely a pre-emptive thread before someone decides to update the [[Main Page]] with news of ''Futurama''{{'}}s likely cancellation. As seen in the PEEL thread, [[Eric Rogers]] is rather avoiding the question of whether ''Futurama'' is cancelled or not and has merely stated an announcement about the show's future will come soon. I assume it is his contract that forbids him from revealing anything at the moment. But given his tone (and the evidence in the FMMB thread), it seems likely the announcement will not carry good news.

''However'' - and I must stress this - it is ''incredibly'' rare that the cancellation of a show/programme is announced. Usually - as it was when ''Futurama'' was [[Cancellation|cancelled originally]] - no new episodes are ordered, and eventually, the show runners can speak out and say, 'yes, the show was cancelled'. So the fact that there will be an announcement gives me a sense of hope.

Anyway, before the actual announcement, there will be no article discussing it on the Infosphere. Because we do not yet know its content and - like I said - there may be more to the announcement than we presume. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''[[User talk:Svip|talk]] 10:41, 17 March 2013 (CET)

: Can the news template make note of the upcoming announcement? [[User:Sanfazer|Sanfazer]] ([[User talk:Sanfazer|talk]]) 21:21, 17 March 2013 (CET).
::Quoted tweet from Rogers seemed to be positive rather than negative... - [[User:Quolnok|Quolnok]] ([[User talk:Quolnok|talk]]) 01:39, 18 March 2013 (CET)
::: And Quolnok's statement is further reasoning I do not want anything discussing it right now. Not even making note of the upcoming announcement. ''Futurama'' fans have plenty of sites to go to to talk about this! Regardless of how it ''works out'', we will likely have an article discussing it at some point. I do find it particularly interesting that someone from RDS contacted Red_Line, for instance. --'''[[User:Svip|Svip]]'''[[User talk:Svip|talk]] 09:07, 18 March 2013 (CET)

The Other

2013-03-17T20:35:38Z

Svip: Undo revision 118572 by 174.4.32.191 (talk) It is not important how it is in ''Star Wars'' for the purpose of this article.

[[File:The Other One.jpg|thumb|right|[[Turanga Leela]], possibly "The Other".]]

"'''The Other'''" is a term used by [[Nibbler]] when [[Philip J. Fry|Fry]] argues that [[Turanga Leela|Leela]] would be person worth saving in the future. Under the table at [[Applied Cryogenics]], Nibbler offhandedly says, "she must be The Other", much to Fry's confusion {{et|4ACV10}}.

The exact nature of "the Other" remains unexplained, even with the events of the [[Films|four DVD films]] and [[season 6|the first season]] of the [[second run]]. Speculation remains on the topic if the writers are going to address the nature of "The Other" in the future, but the line could also simply be of another reason. However, in the [[Commentary: The Why of Fry|commentary for The Why of Fry]], [[David X. Cohen]] implies that the story line with the [[Nibblonians]] goes beyond what we've already seen.

== Other solutions ==

Other solutions draw similarities to ''{{sw|Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back}}'', where {{sw|Yoda}} mentions "there is another", when {{sw|Luke Skywalker}} takes off against {{sw|Obi Wan}}'s and Yoda's wises. While the purpose of this other person was never revealed during the original trilogy of ''[[Star Wars]]'', it was always assumed to be {{sw|Leia Organa Solo}}. Some would argue that the whole purpose of the this "there is another", is a way to hint at the fact that Luke and Leia are siblings.

The writers may specifically have picked this issue, since it was not finalised in ''Star Wars'' as a topic never to be finished off in ''[[Futurama]]'' [[canon]]. Though, it is naïve to assume the writers are hinting that Fry and Leela are related, which would only make the [[Fry-Leela relationship]] all the more complicated.

However, since Nibbler states that Fry is the most important person in the Universe, he may have implied that Leela was the ''second'' most important person in the Universe.

'''Njörd''' was an Icelandic supermodel. Her exact position in [[Philip J. Fry, II]]'s life is somewhat disputed, other than the fact that they did date at one point.

Since we do not know whether [[Yancy Fry, Jr.]] got any more children than Philip J. Fry, II, we have to assume that he is probably the long distance grandfather to [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth]], but even so, whether Njörd is actually part of the [[Fry Family Tree|family tree]] or not has not been disclosed.
