Variety reported today that Futurama reruns will be shown as part of Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block on Sunday night beginning in January, raising hopes that merchandise sales will continue their steady, if unspectacular, pace. This must be the new venue about which series creator Matt Groening hinted in San Diego (see 'Futurama's Not Dead Yet'), in the wake of the news that new shows were no longer going to be created for Fox (see 'No Future for Futurama?').
