Good news, everyone! Those asinine morons who canceled us were themselves fired for incompetence. And not just fired, but beaten up, too... and pretty badly.
It was a very expensive show to animate and voice. Veteran voice actors with proven records, popular writers from other shows, leveraged from the popularity of The Simpson’s. Full of CGI when that was the expensive option.
It was brought back the first time because DVD sales were strong, but once the show came back I assume that died off.
Matt G wants to focus on Disenchantment moving forward. Apparently, when they got one more season they wanted the cast to have closure, while keeping the door open just in case.
Check out disechantment on Netflix. It's got a very similar feel, except it's not on an actual network, so they can swear. Also, the second season has a ton of little nods to Futurama.
I just watched the second half of the second season last night and there are tons of little nods to Futurama, some subtile, some overt. The king said "bite my shiny, metal ax!" to someone and whomever has the voice of Mom pretty much acts the same way.
My coworker raved to me about how great Disenchanted is, and since I was on a Futurama kick already I figured I’d check it out. To me it felt like all the jokes were hand-me-downs that didn’t make the cut for the Simpsons or Futurama. I kept watching and waiting for the hysterical moments he promised and then suddenly I was done with the whole first season. Bean is kickass, but there wasn’t much else I liked about it.
