I Think I've Figured Out the Futurama Right's Issue...
you want me to adjust my schedule and spend my money because of your hypothetical speculation about characters you want to appear in a mobile app?

Fox isn't exactly smart they've canceled plenty of shows that came back in some capacity. Futurama, Buffy, and firefly come to mind.
Buffy wasn't on Fox, which is probably why it ran for seven years and Firefly (which might be my favorite show in history) only got 13 episodes.
I always find it funny that people blame the networks yet have no idea how badly the show was doing in the ratings...being 98th overall in the ratings won't get you renewed no matter how well done the show is.
Well, that's what happens when a show doesn't get a consistent time slot, I guess. (I'm sure the network had nothing to do with that, though.)
Firefly had a constant timeslot...it still couldn't get the ratings. Futurama had one and it still couldn't keep any of the audience from The Simpsons. There is a point where you can't continue to blame the network and just take it like it is: people just didn't like the show when it was on. It wasn't until it was off the air that it found an audience.
