Futurama to return to TV?

So says Matt Groening in a recent interview.

Such a trail was blazed in 2004 by another animated series, Family Guy. Fuelled by DVD sales and high-rating reruns, it spawned a direct-to-DVD film and two seasons of television episodes.
The move caught the television industry by surprise, and left several lost properties, including Futurama, ripe with possibility.
"Three months ago, I would have said we were going to start tomorrow," says writer David X. Cohen, who collaborated with Groening on Futurama. "And one month ago I would also have said we were going to start tomorrow. So ..." He pauses. "My current estimate is that we're starting tomorrow."
It appears that our friends Bender and Fry may be be returning to the airwaves after all. Whether it would be on FOX or the Cartoon network, I have not idea. But personally, I do not much care. It would just be nice to see some new eps. (If you have missed Futurama in the past, you can pick up the series on DVD here.)
