Ready for more 'Futurama'? You should be, because Katey Sagal -- Leela herself -- is saying season 8 is a go.According to Vulture, the recent Golden Globe winner spilled the beans at the Directors Guild of America Awards.
"'Futurama' just got ordered again for another season," Sagal said. "I don't know if I'm supposed to say that yet. But it just did."
While Comedy Central has not made an official statement, Vulture reports the show's studio, 20th Century Fox TV, has been talking to voice actors to make sure they'd be on board. However, no official negotiations have taken place.

What if the NFL broadcast a game and no one watched it?

Tonight, the NFL Network broadcasts its first game, pitting the Denver Broncos against the Kansas City Chiefs. It promises to be a hard battle, with two longtime and bitter rivals fighting to stay in the playoff picture. This will also mark Bryant Gumbel's return to sports play-by-play, something he hasn't done in many, many years (he was NBC's NFL studio host before he got the Today job; this may be his first play-by-play work since the seventies), and it will be fun to hear the always-opinionated Cris Collinsworth back in the booth. Should be a good game.Here's the problem: I won't be able to watch it. And neither will the majority of fans.
