Of course I could be wrong and the world WILL end on December 21, 2012.
Why would they need to make a publicity stunt? People have known it was coming back for awhile now.

As for what NeoCracker said, the show's budget has been greatly cut, and production will be rushed, it's not just a new voice cast, it's why they had to do it.
