Comedy Central will add Futurama repeats to its schedule beginning Wednesday, January 2, at 8:00pm, with a broadcast of two back-to-back episodes, the network announced yesterday. Back-to-back episodes will also air on Thursday and Friday beginning at 8:00pm.

I’m not quite sure what to think. I think Futurama had a more rocksteady place at Adult Swim. When i think about it moving to Comedy Central, all I can picture is it falling into the abyss of forgetten shows like The Critic and Clerks: The Animated Series, which both were handed to CC after being cancelled. Of course, in all fairness, those two shows didn’t last as long as Futurama. This may very well be a good thing. They’re being given a pimetime spot, which could be used if these DVD movies generate enough interest to bring the show back from the dead.
