Oh @#$% that! So they are losing Billy West, Tress McNeille, Katey Segal, Maurice LeMarche So we're losing Morbo, Lrrr and HGB as well? The show must go on? Obviously the executives at Fox have very short term memories.  Replacing the majority of the regular characters is really going to make for a happy atmosphere. |

So fox is bringing back Futurama so they can finally get the kill they have been trying to get for so long.
The fuckers wanted the show dead so Comedy Central swooped and got it revived and now the fuckwits at fox are taking control and destroying it.

That might actually be the plan, I wonder if Vince is actually head of the studio now. Only net gossip but from what I understand West and friends were asking for $75,000 an episode which seems rather reasonable considering what the 6 primary actors of the Simpsons get per episode |

Didn't the cast of friends get at least 1 million per episode and Futurama is actually funny. |

Yep they did and Ray Romano got like 1.25 million for every ep of everybody loves Ray and he wasnt even one of the characters that was slightly funny in that. |

Considering Billy West plays the main character of Fry and then two first string character being Professor and Zoidberg, he'd be worth at least $75,000 an episode just for those 3 guys without factoring in all the other charcaters he has done on the show. |

As I said I just think Fox is trying to kill the show. They canned it back in 02 then due to popular demand they had to make 4 sub standard movies to give it a send off with no plan of bringing it back and then Comedy Central stepped in to revive the show and now Fox is doing all they can to make sure it doesnt last. |

I wonder if they are going to use the excuse that they didn't make any money on the DVDs sales despite the fact it was on the back of the DVD sales they decided to do another series.
Like the cause of the writer's strike... there was enough money for the studio heads to and I quote 'dip their balls in gold' but there just wasn't enough money to give to writers.

I'm sure they'll think of some "great" excuse as to why there screwing the voice actors and fans of futurama over.

Well this certainly sucks. For some reason I see them changing the animation too, making it more plain like Family Guy.

If I can't tell the difference between the old and new, I'll watch. But if it's completely obvious that it's different people, then I definitely won't.

Their voices will be different as it is frowned upon in the voice talent world to duplicate the voice of another actor while you are essentially taking work away from them. Even Disney realized they had crossed the line when someone duplicated some of Frank Welker's signature vocal effects for Lilo and Stitch. |

They should get all the actors that do the best voices of the original charcters then somehow make them strike and see who will scab on the strike. Then Futurama wont be ruined. |

I hope this problem gets solved in a way that will benefit us and the original futurama cast.

Different Voice Actors for Futurama? How very stupid of Fox. Good news though is seeing SpongeBob cancelled because that show has gone way downhill... and I don't like Sandy in that show. I would rather watch Futurama over it anyday.
