    Yeah it's pretty dumb, but it's odd for a show to come back after being gone this long anyway. You can't expect it to be exactly the same. I'll probably still check it out, and if it sucks, move on.

    do the voice actors have a bunch of other work keeping them busy? seems like they will cave to less than $75,000 an episode if they want work, which I'm assuming they do.

    Well most of them have done or still do stand up comedy and/or work on other shows, and Katey Sagel is on Sons of Anarchy so I'm assuming they all have at least some cash.

    Not happy about the voice changes but I'll still check out the show to see how I feel about the new season.

    I tried to come up with a clever quip for this, I really did. But all I got was "I Can't Believe It's Not Ren." I'm sorry

    I'm severely disappointed in Billy West, John DiMaggio and Katey Sagal. I too was under the impression that they loved the show. All the commentaries where they said their characters were alive, fully fleshed out characters, and then they do this... it's like... it's like putting your child up for adoption for money, it's just sickening.

    I'll give whoever they get a shot (a shot. One episode) before I give up on the show.

    If Calculon's wedding the Futurama comeback doesn't go just right, I'll be emotionally and electrically drained.

    Well nothing's set in stone yet. They're supposed to appear somewhere to talk about the issue, so this could be all an elaborate hoax, but that's probably just wishful thinking.

    Jah hopes this is the case, or Jah will not be pleased as Jah will have nothing to watch while Jah smokes Jah's herb.

    There was to be a Futurama panel at Comic-Con earlier today, but G4 doesn't work on my television so I don't know if it were shown or not. I've been curious about what they were planning to announce, hopefully a negotiation with the voice actors or something.

    Anyone know?

    Except for Leela, who wasn't a cartoony voice, the others should be easy enough to imitate. Look at Zoidberg, get a guy who does a good Jew impression or a real Jew and boom. I wish they would've at least kept Bender if nobody else.
    not good enough, i dont want imitations, i want the real thing! i will not waste my time, the series ended with "the devil's hands are idle playthings" and thats that.

    Had this been about 2 years ago when Futurama was still cool I probably would've raged.



    Meh.
