I was lucky enough to randomly bump into Billy West at Comicon 2010 and nervously muttered how much I loved Futurama, and he was especially gracious, saying fans like me were the ones who brought it back.&lt;p&gt;That being said, I felt that the new episodes never captured the quality of the original run. They tried too hard at tugging at our heart strings and never really felt legitimate, unlike the episodes like &quot;Luck of the Fryish&quot;, &quot;Jurassic Bark&quot;, etc. I thought the last season was actually bad, and the plots never made any sense, so I guess it was about time for it to end its run.</text></comment>

In fact, to be even _more_ technically correct, it hasn&apos;t actually been cancelled, just not renewed.&lt;p&gt;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&apos;s like saying Arrested Development is cancelled after the film is released, because no new film or television episodes has been ordered.</text></comment>
