I'm sure it's out of the question but is it possible to get a tour of the Rough Draft Studios? I'm comming to California all the way from North Carolina with my Mom, Dad and Uncle, and we are all HUGE fans of Futurama. I'll understand if we can't but it doesn't hurt to ask.
Thanks, Mark T.

hi rds message board peoples:
my name is gerry dwight and i live in sylmar cal. i am huge futurama fan.why did fox studios cancel it i' ll never understand it. last xmas me and a friend [also a huge fan] went to the mall in glendale for xmas shopping. well we were walking down the main street and my friend says 'check it out this place has futurama stuff in the lobby.' i thought 'your crazy' because he likes to joke like that but i loked inside the windows and he was right!!!! and tehn i said 'hey this is Rough Draft studio!!!' some guy was smoking outside and i asked him 'is this where they make futurama' and he said 'yes sir. it is'. i said if i could go inside and check it out and he said 'sorry we don't give tours'. i was very dissapointed but he was cool about it. anyway the place looks cool its red with a bright green rain cover at the front door. next door is a restarant named giggles. i looked in one more time and the lady answering the phone was playing gameboy advanced!!!! how cool is that!!!! i'm bummed you guys don't give tours but if you do i want to be first on the list!!!!

Who would want to tour a studio to see a show that isn't in production anymore. That would be like eating an Orange and having it taste like a Banana or getting a present with nothing inside orlistening to Van Halen without David Lee Roth. You get the Idea.

Besides, animators are always bunking off work, so they probably wouldn't be in anyway.
(...that was the impression I got when I went over for work experience at the CGI dept at Aardman, and was told "all our animators stayed at home today - we're not sure why...we think they just can' t be bothered any more).

this is a update about the studio tour.
well, ever since i posted on this thread i keep thinking about how cool it would be to take a tour of the birth place of my favorite show. i'm pretty fortunate because i live so close to glendale where rough draft studios is. so many people would kill to be in my shoes and here i am just sitting on my but when i could be taking advantage of this gold oportunity. i've been thinking that a lot and everyday i come back to this website and read my post again and think 'i have to get off my but and do something'! it was hard too sleep! so toady i did do something about it. i thought 'i'm going to call rough draft studios and ask rich moore [the superviser director for futurama]if i can take a tour with my friend' so i got the number from google and called. i was nervous, i even had two beersbefore hand 'to calm my nerves'. well a lady answered and said'rogh draft studios' and i said 'rich moore please' and she said 'hold on please'.
know i was really nervous. then i heard rich moores voice say 'hello' i knew it was him from the dvds. well i hung up. i know you guys must think i'm the biggest chicken on earth but i just couldn't ask. so rich moore if your reading this sorry i bugged you. may be i'll callagain tommorrow.

AmyLuver - What's with you? Were You going to ask El Presidente Ricardo Moore out on a date or what?

The only people that usually hang up on Rich are girls, and that's only just because he's a borderline stalker.
So all you fellas out there, here's what I think you should do. Amongst yourselves, pick a date (weekday) that you'd like to see the studio. Then have one representative for the group ask to speak to Rich Moore via telephone, with a proposal to tour the studio on that date. Bingo!
And remember, Rich likes two things:
1. Organization
2. Determination
3. Pistolry
4. Tours
5. Olde Tyme stuff
6. Respect

Bunking off? Is that a UK term? It's very cute.
So, I am going to steel myself to be told this is a stupid question (except I hope Rikki would be nice), but what is RDS
working on now?
