I think we should all throw big temper tantrums, film them and then put the vids on YouTube. I'd go first, but my webcam is broken.

I don't know if I could watch the show if it had different voice actors. It would just be weird.

Speak of the devil:

On comedy central RIGH NOW the Luna Park episode of Futurama is on. Isn't this like the second episode or so? Bender and The Prof. sound off lol

lol, in one class I had in high school we watched that episode of Futurama about 5 times trying to find all the "scientifically implausible" events and things. For instance the whole journeying to the moon in less than 10 seconds and stuff. I can't remember all the other ones, but the teacher took it pretty seriously. My firends and I just kept coming up with stupid things like "giant bugs don't give milk" and "crocodile don't live on moon" and things like that. He got pretty pissed off.

It was a good class though, we ended up watching the whole first & second season of Futurama over the course of the semester.

LOS ANGELES–The Star has learned exclusively that the entire voice cast of Futurama has just signed a new contract with Fox after weeks of intense salary negotiations.

As late as last week, the network was threatening to replace the original voices of Matt Groening's cult-hit cartoon, to the point of actually announcing a casting call for voice actors to replace them.

The Futurama voice cast includes John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Billy West, Tress MacNeille and Katey Sagal.

The compromise agreement, with the studio paying more and the actors accepting less,* comes after the announcement of a 26-episode pick-up here by Comedy Central. Futurama also airs internationally in syndication, has produced four bestselling straight-to-DVD movies (later cut into episodes) and an upcoming feature film.

"We are thrilled to have our incredible cast back. The call has already `gone out to the animators to put the mouths back on the characters," Futurama creators Groening and David X. Cohen said in a joint statement.

* The Studio is paying more than the Voice Actors were originally getting while paying less than what they were asking for.

Upcoming feature film?

I'd be first in line.

In the words of Plugabugz, SUCCESS.

NWR_insanolord · « **Reply #138 on:** August 03, 2009, 01:02:04 PM »

That reminds me, I still haven't watched the 4th DVD movie, and I haven't watched the 3rd one with commentary.

Truly, this is FTW.

I wonder if they'll somehow make fun of this debacle in the upcoming episodes.

nitsu niflheim · « **Reply #142 on:** August 03, 2009, 08:43:17 PM »

That's great news. I would have probably checked it out of they changed the voice actors, but I don't know how much I would have liked it, though.

I didnt even think of that. I loved it how they poked fun at being canceled in Benders Big Score.

Futurama Returns To Comedy Central in June

Quote

New episodes of the resurrected animation favorite "Futurama" will return to Comedy Central in June.

Comedy Central sources confirm to HitFix that Thursday, June 24 at 10:00 p.m. is currently set to be the premiere of the first new half-hour episode of "Futurama"since 2003.

"Futurama" launched in 1999 on FOX and aired through 2003. Adult Swim and then Comedy Central kept the show alive in repeats, with Comedy Central giving a home to extra-long "Futurama" episodes "Bender's Big Score," "The Beast with a Billion Backs," "Bender's Game" and "Into the Wild Green Yonder."

Ratings for the constantly recycled repeats, as well as DVD sales, helped to spur talk of a comeback and, in June of 2009, Comedy Central announced that the network had ordered 26 new episodes to premiere starting this year.

Fan enthusiasm was temporarily tempered by overblown reports that the vocal talent including Billy West, John DiMaggio and Katey Sagal might be replaced for the run of new episodes. Eventually, the full cast reached new agreements and Philip Fry, Bender, Leela and the rest of the "Futurama" gang will sound very much like you're used to them sounding.

Created by David X. Cohen and Matt Groening, "Futurama" won the Emmy for Outstanding Animated Program in 2002.

Only one week left until the big premiere! Is everyone else as excited as I am?

nickmitch · « **Reply #146 on:** June 17, 2010, 01:32:51 PM »

These are the best of times, these are the win of times.

Query: how many seasons were there prior to this revival? I own four. I don't think there are any other ones besides the movies, which I didn't bother with.

Shaymin · « **Reply #148 on:** June 17, 2010, 11:50:44 PM »

4 seaons, the movies (as 4 episodes each) are considered season 5.

I forgot about this. I might check them out if I can remember when they are on.
