Good news everyone!
I've invented a device which makes you read this in your head, in my voice!

By the way, this deeply saddens me.

Yeah this is bullshit, Comedy Central should be in charge of casting now that they own the rights to airing the show. If this does turn out to be true, however, you can totally expect blood on the scales...

Yeah....let's trust Wikipedia for current, RELIABLE information!

Just found the article on Variety.

They should pull the plug on the series NOW if the original voices aren't coming back. I WILL NOT watch it if the original cast is coming back. How in the hell are you going to replace the original cast? They are authentic, and unique.

Hey guys, I was wondering, should I politely ask Tom Fulp (in a PM, of course), to mention the petition in his latest news post, so we can actually get a lot of signatures? Then, we can send this thing to Fox, and they might actually DO SOMETHING about it.

If there recasting the cast of Futurama might they do other things to lower costs eg cheaper and crapper writers.

Oh please, the show must go on? You assholes weren't saying that when you canceled Futurama back in 2003. And why the fuck would they under budget the show? Why not dig deeper into their wallet so that maybe people will actually watch it, unlike how most of us are not going to now that they announced that they are getting different voice actors. As far as I am concerned, this show is not coming back.

12 hourds later and I'm still fucking mourning. Surely they need to realise none of the Futurama fans will be pleased with this, at all. I think I'd rather they don't make any new episodes then lose a big portion of what makes the show great.

This suck balls. Futurama was brilliant the way it was, why change the voices? They better sound the exact same or I'm going to rage.

I think a LOT of people on here need to chill the fuck out and look into it a bit deeper because as it turns out the only reason they are replacing the voice actors is because FOX couldnt come up with the stupid salary they all wanted so maybe this thread should flame the actors for asking for a stupid amount of money per episode

The more I think about this guys, the more i'm leaning towards this being a publicity stunt. I can imagine the voice actors reaching an agreement eventually.

Simpsons sucked after they got new voice actors. Futurama will too. Though we'll see how good the writing is. That's the important thing.

Half of the humour in Futurama is a result of its amazing voice cast.

Fox messes everything up in voice acting. I watched sonin and the shamon king on Fox then when I watched them somewhere else the voices were 100% completely different. I think the just want their station to stand out from the rest.
