To be technically correct - the best kind of correct - the show has only been cancelled twice. In fact, to be even _more_ technically correct, it hasn't actually been cancelled, just not renewed.
People tend to confuse the times after the films where there were no new episodes to show and none in production with a cancellation, because the films themselves did not bring the show back to television. That's like saying Arrested Development is cancelled after the film is released, because no new film or television episodes has been ordered.
At the start of the commentary to Bender's Big Score, Matt Groening is asked if Futurama was ever cancelled or if Fox just "stopped calling". He replies: "Yeah, we got cancelled."
I submitted this, and as far as I can tell I have a pretty reasonable idea of what "again" means. If you actually click the link, you'll see that it's the title of the original article, by Phil Plait.

Yeah I've been reading the wikipedia section to see how many times it was cancelled because the title makes it seem like it was three times.

I did the same. Whoever submitted this need to learn what "again" means.
