New Futurama eps coming in 2010!!! - Page 2

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.

**Jester** · 07-17-2009, 11:27 PM

Poor voice actors get no respect.

F*cking AWFUL!

When the "Futurama" characters come back for new episodes on Comedy Central in mid-2010, they may sound different.

That is because producing studio 20th TV is proceeding with auditioning new actors for the roles after failing to reach an agreement with the original voice cast: John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Billy West, Tress MacNeille and Katey Sagal.

"We love the 'Futurama' voice performers and absolutely wanted to use them, but unfortunately, we could not meet their salary demands," the studio said in a statement Friday. "While replacing these talented actors will be difficult, the show must go on."

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

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-18-2009, 03:41 PM

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.

*Hannah* · 07-18-2009, 03:49 PM

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

yup, agreed!

**ThirdMarioBro** · 07-19-2009, 06:35 PM

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.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 07-19-2009, 07:24 PM

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

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

**GK Punk** · 07-19-2009, 07:42 PM

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

No. This is worse.

Zog the Equalizer · 07-20-2009, 02:02 AM

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.

Tarog · 07-20-2009, 05:20 AM

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.

poiuytre · 07-20-2009, 06:52 AM

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.
