10 questions www.texansofficialproshop.com/Nike-Randy-Bullock-Jersey.html with FUTURAMA's funnyman 12th Fan Navy Jersey

David X. Cohen seems like a funny guy. Talking with him on the phone about this week's release of FUTURAMA VOLUME TWO on DVD, Cohen comes off as likeable, even down to earth kind of fellow. But when you get him to talk to texansofficialproshop.com/Nike-Garrett-Graham-Jersey.html you about science fiction, that's when a more devious aspect of his personality emerges. For not only is David Cohen a charter member of the intergalactic fanboys association ("ONE OF US! ONE OF US!"), he's the most dangerous kind of fanboy: the one given power to create a network television show. Thankfully, he used his power for good, developing (together with SIMPSONS guru Matt Groening) Fox's animated comedy series FUTURAMA. I sat down and came up with ten questions to throw at the man ranging from his thoughts on the show's cancellation to what's inside his DVD player as we speak. You'll get to read five of the questions and answers for today, five for tomorrow. It's somewhat gratifying that more than a year and a half after we realized that we weren't going to return that suddenly the show is having a sort of an upsurge in popularity. The very last original episode remaining aired last Sunday night on Fox. It featured the return of the robot devil voiced by Homer J. Simpson himself, Dan Castellaneta. When we were making the episode we didn't know if we would be back for the next season or if we were cancelled. [The show] is off the air for this month on Cartoon Network, it's rotated out, but in November they're going to have a brand new relaunch when they get the new season's worth of episodes, a new episode every day. At the moment we're on TBS, strangely enough, in the afternoons for the summer and then it's going to be back on Cartoon Network. People never knew where or when the show was going to be on. Suddenly it's on the same time every night on the same channel, Cartoon Network, so people are actually getting to see it. The ratings have been huge by cable TV standards but even pretty big by any standards on Cartoon Network. It's been a total surprise to everybody how great FUTURAMA and FAMILY GUY have done in that hour block. It's helping our DVD sales. So what's it like sitting around in a room with your co workers, watching a 22 minute show and having your conversation recorded?COHEN: The first couple of commentaries that we did back in Season One I was kind of nervous about Earl Thomas III Youth Jersey it. I was reviewing the episodes beforehand, looking over my old notes, that kind of stuff. Matt Groening quickly established a tone of 'No no, forget that.' These things are much more fun if everyone is rambling and talking about whatever pops into their minds and tells a story about their great aunt. He quickly established that anything goes and just making a free for all. I think we got a little more better at it in each one, a little more question and answer to fill the gaps. Basically I would describe it as a reunion each time that we did one. We were winding down production at the time and we hadn't seen each other for a couple of months so it was fun to just see everyone. Everyone was always in a really good mood I think, and maybe that comes across in them. Q4: So which FUTURAMA episode is your favorite on the second volume?COHEN: The fifth one, it's called 'Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?'. It's the first episode to be really fully devoted to Dr. Zoidberg. I just have very fond feelings for that episode because early in the history of the series when the rough pencil animation came in for that episode, in the middle of that I started crying, I was laughing so hard. It was kind of the first moment in the series when I suddenly went wait a second, I love this show! I've been working so hard on it that I hadn't thought about it that much, am I a fan of this show? When the STAR TREK theme started playing as the national anthem of the Lobster people is when I began to cry with laughter. I was a physics major, computer science fellow. I'm the guy that if we're at a restaurant people always make me divide up the check and stuff like that. Tune back in for the remainder of my Q with FUTURAMA's David X.
