Does Futurama have a future? |
| September 28th, 2026 under The Simpsons. [ Comments: none ]
|
|  Hulu Futurama premiered on Fox in 1999, and then it was cancelled in 2003. Comedy Central picked it up in 2008, but then threw it away in 2013. Finally, Hulu decided to bring it back in 2023, and today it aired its final episode (which is not a special).
So do deaths come in threes for series? The show’s creator, Matt Groening, told Variety, “The thing about ‘Is Futurama coming to an end?’ Well, we’ve come to an end many times before. We make a joke about it with the season finale. It’s redundantly, fatalistically titled,” Groening said. “I think we have a whistling-past-the-graveyard attitude these days because we’ve been in this situation many times before. We have lots more stories to tell. The animators and the actors and the writers all would love to do more stories and we’ll see. You never know.”
Do you think it is time for the show to be dead dead? Or should it live on like a head in a jar?

The Simpsons’ Treehouse of Horror episodes are an annual event, and this year it will be part of the Jack in the Box menu.
To start things off, there will be four Simpsons-inspired meals:
- Krusty Burger of Terror: Terrifyingly delicious seasoned 100% beef patty, melty American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and new Spooky Simpsons sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun.
- Double Krusty Burger of Terror: Two seasoned 100% beef patties, melty American cheese, lettuce, tomato, and new Spooky Simpsons sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun.
- Triple Krusty Burger of Terror: Three seasoned 100% beef patties, three slices of melty American cheese, lettuce, tomato and new Spooky Simpsons sauce on a toasted sesame seed bun. Plus fries and a drink.

As you can see, the hamburger joint is adding a Spooky Simpsons Sauce to the menu. What is it? It is described as a smoky BBQ ketchup.
Do you know what you need after that? Dessert, and Homer would approve of the sweet treat they created. Forbidden D’oh!nut Holes, warm donut holes are dusted with cinnamon sugar, topped with pink frosting, and finished with rainbow sprinkles.
There is even more! You can also order a Munchie Meal of Horror, which comes with a Double Krusty Burger of Terror or a Double Chicken Sandwich of Terror, served alongside two tacos, seasoned curly fries and a drink. The drink will come in one of six TOH-inspired, glow-in-the-dark cups.
All of the above is available for a limited time, starting today.

The one where James L. Brooks and Wes Anderson got stuck in an elevator |

Wes Anderson, James L. Brooks, and Luke Wilson went to the Academy Museum yesterday to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the film Bottle Rocket. After the Q&A, they were planning to go home. However, the elevator had other plans for them.
According to TMZ, the seven people spent about an hour trapped in the elevator until they were rescued by LAFD Station 61.
After they were set free, Anderson asked one of the firefighters what caused the elevator to stop. He told the filmmaker that he believes it was because they put too much weight in the lift. To which Brooks, the comedic legend, did not miss a beat and said, It was probably me.
And with that, I would be surprised if we get an episode with The Simpsons stuck in an elevator.

Has Harry Shearer seen The Simpsons? |

Harry Shearer has been voicing some of The Simpsons’ most well-known characters since the beginning. But has he watched the show that multiple generations have grown up watching?
Recently, the man behind the voices of Mr. Burns, Smithers, Ned Flanders, Reverend Lovejoy, Principal Skinner, and Kent Brockman sat down with The i Paper to talk about his musical comedy Here Comes J. Edgar Hoover. However, you can’t interview the legend without asking about The Simpsons, so that is what Shaun Curran did.
Curran wanted to know if the actor thought the long-running animated comedy peaked in the ’90s. Shearer told him, “I don’t know. I haven’t seen it.”
Can you imagine being part of something for almost 40 years, and never seeing it? Maybe he should take some time to do that. This way he can understand why millions and millions of people have seen all of the over 800 episodes.
