Heck, Futurama got everybody but Doohan in “Where No Fan Has Gone Before”.

That last one from the Simpsons (already mentioned as more of Triskelion parody) was cut from the syndicated version for some reason. I have no idea why.

Actually the Futurama project is 4 DVD’s, the first to be released December 2007, then the other DVD’s to be released later. Starting Jan. 2008, Comedy Central will start airing the ‘new’ episodes, which will be the DVD’s broken down to 4 episodes each. For the CC airings, the episodes will be modified from the DVD’s. This will make a total of 16 ‘new’ episodes to be aired on CC (who has bought the exclusive rights for Futurama for 5 years).

Hopefully this will lead to a true renewal of the series and not “Futurama: The Next Generation”

All I can say is that the repect that Matt Groening and company showed to Star Trek in Futurama is touching. For Kirk’s sake, they had Leonard Nimoy in the very first episode.

ah that makes my day!

btw does anybody know where I can get some TOS music?

Robin, try Amazon.com. They have some CD’s of original and re-recorded Star Trek music. I-tunes also has Trek music available for download.

“Al” recently posted the site below as a place to hear samples. You might want to try that first to get an idea of what there is.
