Woohoo!!! I wonder if there'll be new heads in the jars of the new Star Trek cast?? :D

I AM BENDER BABY! Please insert liquor!!

this is freakin' awesome! first Family Guy and now Futurama! i some how guessed that it would only be a matter of time before the series got revived

I hope they stick to self-contained episodes this time around. Those movies might have been less of a chore to watch if they weren't spread so thin over four ep-lengths each. Three would have been optimal. But, I guess you can consider me cautiously hyped for this.

Oh, this is awesome news! Futurama rocks! :)

"Good news everyone!"

Can't believe no one did that yet.. :ohwell:

You know....I'm surprised too.

Here....:P

Copycat... :roll:

I'ma tell on your mom!! I'm not your best friend anymore!

I am very happy to hear this! It was a show I definitely missed

After those mediocre movies, I've lost my interest for this show. It's a shame.

Mmm... I liked how the movies wrapped everything up in a nice package. Not to fond of the idea of a new series, but oh well. Futurama is Futurama. Here's hoping that the series won't go downhill. :D

I agree with you. The movies arent a good representation of Futurama as a whole. It pissed away the deapth and emotion of the final season just so nobody looked "changed", and to make it "accessible" (Fry and Leela in particular had grown much closer and were platonicly hitched if not romanticly by then, something the final movie finally remembered). They had also closed off every storyline when they felt the cancelation was permanent, so they had nothing for the movies except baseline retreads.

Just as there's always 151 Pokemon, there will only ever be four seasons of a show that told it's story and went out on top...then it found out it was popular.

I hate when series realize there popular.

Whoo Hoo! I love Futurama. I can't wait to see this.

I agree, but I'm still going to give the show a chance.

I'm not going to sit here like one of those people who feel like adding something new to an existing franchise will tarnish what came before. Even if the movies weren't that great, I'll still check out the show because of how much I enjoyed it before the cancellation. And if it sucks, well I have all of the original episodes on DVD, so it's no big deal.

Ugh!! Apperantly FOX has decided to recast ALL the characters cuz they couldn't meet the salary demands of the original cast :dead:

Wow, thats terrible.

..........

Recast = I'll watch ONE episode.. If I'm the least displeased I probably won't keep watching... It would need to be a hell of a funny first ep for that...

They are just setting themselves up to fail in a huge way. I probably won't even watch it now.

Yeah, me neither. I remember years ago when Fox threatened to do this with The Simpsons. People said they'd quit watching (me included), and Fox backed down, but Futurama doesn't have the swagger Simpsons does. Voice actors just don't get equal treatment in the entertainment biz. I can tell the difference between an original voice, and an impersonator, no matter how good, and it ruins the experience for me.

Once again, either Fox backs down or I'm not even bothering. I don't need another case of "wired sounding Muppets syndrome".

I wonder how much this is true, when I talked to Rob Paulsen the other day he said he and Maurice would hang out more if Moe wasn't busy with Futurama. I hope Rob knows something we don't.

And Moe is listed as a source...we're boned.

Hahaha, seriously?! FOX is going to experience some serious nerd rage.

Poor voice actors get no respect.

F*cking AWFUL!

Original Futurama actors may not return for new episodes

Terrible.

well, there goes Futurama!

all they can say is "While replacing these talented actors will be difficult, the show must go on." how freakin' retarted is Fox? without the originals there is no show! nobody will even watch

Sounds like they're going through with it, eh? Fine. Fu*k that sh*t. As far as I'm concerned, it was never renewed.

I just realized there's already a thread about this. Oh well.

yup, agreed! :x

Reminds me of the time Fox tried to recast Family Guy during the writer's strike. God, that would have been terrible. This is equally bad.

let's just hope Fox and the Voice Actors can come to some agreement. wonder why the creators/producers of the show stand up to Fox? they can't be wanting the recast

How long have you been waiting to say that?

Apparently, since "the other day". But, I'm sure he wasted no time finding a conversation to randomly insert that fact in. :P

I meant, how long has he lived his life hoping he COULD work that in to a conversation.

Years, my friend, years....:D

No. This is worse.

I really hope that the fact that the writing and production staff of this show is so close-knit with the voice cast helps this not happen some how.

I don't see the point of even bringing the show back unless the original cast is in, It's ratings will plumit if they don't.

They might as well retool the entire concept with characters. The voices are too big of a part of Futurama to be changed in my book.

yeah, just like i said. there's no way the show's creators and/or staff would want something like this to go down. stand the frack up to Fox and say "No original Voice Actors, no show!" if Fox wants it bad enough they'll give in.
