I was also insanely excited to hear this news. I hope it does really well and it keeps going for a while. Still, I wonder what they'll do with the Fry/Leela situation. After all, I didn't like that the show ended, but I loved how they handled their relationship in the final season. The bee sting episode (and the finale, of course) are great in that regard.

Oh, and as far as TV comedy goes, there's definitely been a wasteland out there, but there have been an oasis or two. The ones mentioned are good, as well as Arrested Development. I've found I watch a lot more TV drama these days.
