#2Loved the "Killer App" episode of the new series. Everything else was pretty meh. Rest in peace, Futarama.

#3Great show, but I sort of lost interest for some reason after the movies came out. Regardless it's had 7 seasons which is just as much as Star Trek TNG.

#4To be technically correct - the best kind of correct - the show has only been cancelled twice. In fact, to be even _more_ technically correct, it hasn't actually been cancelled, just not renewed.
People tend to confuse the times after the films where there were no new episodes to show and none in production with a cancellation, because the films themselves did not bring the show back to television. That's like saying Arrested Development is cancelled after the film is released, because no new film or television episodes has been ordered.

You know, I somewhat think this is because fans distrust the fate of what will happen to futurama. However, if it were picked up by another party which produced smaller amounts and for quality, Futurama could continue forever. (I'm thinking mini-series 4-7 episodes a season).
I think the biggest problem tv-media is the hiatus, the blanks between seasons cause an eraser from the general public. If they good give a consist stream of content, fans would be much more in-tune with it, and less to forget about.

Who knows, maybe Netflix will pick it up.

I think that is a matter of expectation. In England (AFAIK), series aren't (necessarily) expected to be as continuous, nor even to run through the whole year. So, for instance, Doctor Who could "get away" with a specials-only year, between the 4th and 5th series.

The quality never quite returned to the heights it reached during the original FOX run, so I'm not terribly sad to see it go. Better that than limp on towards true mediocrity like The Simpsons.

Doctor Who could "get away" with 15 years of hiatus.
