I had Fox on last night and was completely surprised to hear them actually admitting FUturama's existence! Promoting their Father's Day Line line up they actually mentioned that Futurama was going to be on. Amazing.

Oh well, next week back to normal, pre-empted for Nascar.

To tell the truth, they've started putting Futurama back into commercial two or three weeks ago.

Must've missed those two weeks ago but I do know I saw the commercials for their "Sunday Summer Spectacular" last week a dozen times, no mention of Futurama.

I was also surprised when I first saw a commercial for it about 2 weeks ago, my brother and his girlfriend were watching too and she said "Oh my god! When did Futurama get on Fox!?" XD;

I've heard a few promotions for the show but they're so rare that's it's really hard to find them. Still, little promotion > no promotions at all, so at least it's an improvment over the usual trend of FOX's attidue for Futurama (I have to admitt though, that they do always have one promotion for it. Mentioning it right before it's about to air on Sundays).

Well since they are burning off the episodes that they didn't air before CN gets them, they have to show something to remind us who is still in charge. But then again, due to their "Simpsons" obsessions, they don't really care about any other animated series anymore anyway. (unless they made some animated reality series....but only if it kept up the ratings)

I think that FOX seems to still care about King Of The Hill (Since it gives them some good ratings and they are airing it TWICE on Sunday, which is more then any other primetime show in the block) but otherwise I would agree with you. Actually, an animated reality series wouldn't be a bad idea, providing they used actual known cartoon characters instead of made up ones (even though it would probably never happen).
