So, you think they have their story straight this time? After multiple announcements, retractions, further announcements, clarifications, and probably a little backroom fornication, it’s now official - Futurama is returning to TV with all new episodes.

The tale of “Futurama’s” dramatic revival roughly follows that same path that “Family Guy” did.

In both cases, the shows have been successfully airing on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim late-night programming block. They both also turned into hot-selling DVD box sets.

“Family Guy” returned to Fox earlier this year, while last fall, Comedy Central outbid Adult Swim for the license to air all 52 episodes of “Futurama” and whatever new episodes might one day be produced.

This week, deals were inked to secure all of the original voice talent and the production staff of “Futurama,” paving the way for the series’ return to TV.

The new shows are being developed for Adult Swim Comedy Central, but FOX will have the option of airing them themselves, if they decide they want them. Not that they deserve them, the jerks.
