omfg, cant belive their replacing their voice actors. Its their second biggest mistake ever(seeing as the biggest mistake is taking Futurama off air back in 2003)
Its pointless and wont make the same *Bite my shiny metal ass* feeling as DiMaggio would make it.

People are still watching family guy because they didn’t change the voice actors. Maybe if someone new watched Futurama after they changed the voices they would not care, but after watching it for ages and then they change them then… i will not watch it. FUCK YOU FOX.

You all do realize that the actors are to blame as well; they want a ridiculous amount of money each for reprising these roles. Now, I love the show, will hate any changes and will boycott the show if the familiar voices are no longer foamier. I do think that Comedy Central AND the actors needs to rethink the salary demands because they will lose fan base if they do not.

My email is as follows:

“Are you serious? You idiots are actully considering recasting the show? How dumb can Fox become? They simply screw up everyshow they create that is worth a damn. You guys killed the show because you didnt think it was viable anymore. Adult Swim brings it back (same as family guy) and then you guys realize how stupid you are for canceling it in the first place. Then you decide to go ahead and screw up what made the original great by recasting the characters? What are you people smoking? This will fail. The people that want this back are the hardcore fans. You will cause backlash. I’m sure you could care less, but its fact. This will fail. Youre going to ruin a good thing. For no apparent reason.”

Umm .. actually The Simpsons’ voice cast have had strikes and extended negotiations several times, and each of those times Fox has brought up the possibility of replacing the cast with ringers.

LOL at drawing any comparison with The Simpsons, which brings in nine figures/year in merchandise. Futurama isn’t nearly as profitable, especially with new technologies and the show airing on cable.

I paid $70 for the Season 5 DVDs…not gonna pay that much for Season 6 now that I have a DVR at home.

FOX still owns Futurama, they just let Comedy Central air it.

FOX is just leeching off the show, hating it and they hate everyone who loves it

“The show must go on” they say, coming from the people who cancelled it, never wanted the movies to be made, the hypocritical fucks.

Scott Muller is he executive casting director for Futurama. Googling brings that up as the first result so I’m not sure which “google” you’re using.

Count me in — I too have bought (and liked) most of the DVD releases. I’m not a pirate anyway and the double-standards put out by execs (e.g. lower prices in countries where piracy is higher but they still can’t fathom how FREE IS STILL CHEAPER EVEN IF IT’S A SHADY DOING), but I digress.

The original voice actors made the show.

And $75k per episode? That’s NOTHING for an established series.

Mind you, where do I sign up? If hollywood wants to pay big sums of money for merely speaking into a microphone, I’ll be more than happy to do it for less per episode… certainly big compared to what I currently do and make, which is still more substantial than saying lines with proper inflection into a microphone…
