Matt Groening-this, David Cohen-that, blah, blah, blah...that's all you ever hear about. Well folks, I hate to burst your collective bubbles, but Matt and David don't do the show all by themselves. What about the little guy, the dog-faced soldier down in the trenches, up to his neck in mud and human waste, huh? What about THAT guy? Well, I'll tell you about that guy. Usually there's a good reason he's down in that trench; most likely he's pretty lazy and not a very good artist. Comes to work late all the time, never finishes his work when he's supposed to...man, and he's always got the same sorry ass excuses. And for this he collects a paycheck. Jesus Christ, that's just fan-f*cking-tastic.
Anyway, this post is dedicated to you: the unsung heroes of animation. The guys that make it happen. We salute you.

 I would like to toast a "cold one" to the directors, who guide the show from babyhood to full-blown maturity. It is they who wet-nurse the fledgling script, deal with the teen temper tantrums, send the finished product out into the world, and never receive a dime of royalties.

Yeah, Cochino. Just when someone might have been inspired to pay tribute to one of the lesser known positions on the show, you know, like the Design Coordinator who works his or her @ss off, you go and post a thread killer about the directors. Everyone knows about them. What about those end credit folks, like the aforementioned Design Coordinator?
So Says the REAL buh-ric

The buh-ric has a point but what about Damon or Brad for that matter?

I think that the best thing that has ever happened to R.D is Damon.... What can I say... What a man ... What a piece of work.. Some how he manages to be the boil on the butt of humanity, but somehow he grows on you like a rash that even antibiotics won't cure... I send my love to a man even his mother wouldn't even admit to knowing... Damon ... the myth... the man.. the biggest pain in the ass I have ever known... May he live forever like the assasination of all that is holy... Damon I would love you if I couldn't ravage you first... Remember me you're first true fan...

SlackJawedMoron...what can I say... you rock, dude. If you ever find yourself in Glendale, stop by RDS -- we'll take you across the street to Bar FN (formerly "Duffy's") for a cold one OR if we're in a really good mood, we'll take you to our new favorite place, The Chalet in Eagle Rock. (I swear to god, animators are such alcoholics. It's kind of sad, actually.) And if you're really lucky, Mr. DiMaggio will come along and you can watch him trash the place. It's quite wonderful to watch

Listen lois, I'm taking DrZoidfarb3000's advice from a different thread and ignoring you, you friggin' moron.
btw, tell Rachel she's a friggin' moron, too.
Oh, and also, "future-rotten"?! That's pretty lame, girl. Try again.

Futur-rotten "lol" I'm sorry but as big an idiot as Lois is, I found that kinda funny. . . maybe it was the way I read it.
Go to hell Lois!

Rich Moore deserves more credit. Perhaps all the credit. No. Just most of the credit.

I am fascinated by the kind of concerted effort behind the making of Futurama. It's all sort of mysterious to me. What are the jobs of the unsung heroes? Writers, Directors, Producers, Actors, Animators, Lawyers, Administrative Assistants, and Custodians, and ... ?
In the Animation department, how many animators and how many different kinds of animators work on an episode?
What kind of background do the animators have in general? Do they all tend to have degrees in Computer Graphics or did they all study Physics at MIT?
I am not looking for a job. I am interested just cuz.
thanks

the lodge gives a shout out to one of RDS finest, Elliot "the Baltimore buh-ric" Blake. sadly, he'll be departing after many years service to those animation bastards at RDS. Hell, maybe he deserves his own thread here in comemoration, but the lodge ain't one to start sucking up now.
you'll be missed buh-ric, you'll be missed...
