Bad news everyone - Futurama travesty in the making

Incredibly stupid, I guess the show really is dead, i consider the movies a travesty.

The show isn't dead. As others have said, they tried to do this same thing with The Simpsons and it didn't work. This is a negotiating ploy, a bluff to try to convince the actors to settle for less money. And it's a bluff that the actors and their agents are going to call, with help from the fanbase.
 
You would think fox would be tired of their constant FAIL actions. They should adopt a new policy. Whatever they think is a good idea, do the opposite

While you and I might have found the movies disappointing, they made incredible scratch. The studio would find some way to bring it back as the show is now profitable again. The show is definitely not dead.

Which is both a shame and a pity. Its nice that the show has gotten a second chance at life but it would have been better if the films thy did make didn't suck. At least the first movie was decent though :lol:
 
Recasting the show would be an even stupider move than canceling it in the first place.
 
FOX has smoked themselves retarted, I thought Vomedy Central was picking up the new eps? Yeah comic con panell will let them have it and I will refuse to watch if they do that

"So, you wanna replace the original voice cast, eh? Well, I got five words for ya: bite my shiny metal ass!"
 
In IGN's article about this, they're saying that FOX lowballed the cast from the beginning, because apparently the new episodes are expected to have a drastically slashed budget.

When I read that letter I was just imagining the MP3's that would be coming Scott Muller's way.:lol:
 
This reminds me of when I'd catch Futurama playing on a spanish station and cringe at the voices. Much of the charm of these characters is the actor who plays them.
 
I personally wouldn't mind if Fry and Leela were recast, simply because Billy West will always be Stimpy to me and Katie Segal will always be Peg Bundy.

Zapp Brannigan, Bender and Zoidberg are irreplaceable, however :mad:
