I have bad news for you: Maurice LaMarche voices Morbo and he's one of the actors that FOX is trying to cut loose.BigKingBob said:
FOX to Recast Futurama
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
FOX makes a dick move... so what else is new?
Let them recast the characters. Once the die-hard fans hear the first recast character they love, FOX's hate mail with be overflowing. With that kind of outcry, you'll have a 50% chance of getting the original voice actors back. The other 50% pertains to them just canning the new seasons and moving on to their next Prime-Time flop.

Read from IGN first but still this dosent really suprise me. I mean this if FOX we are talking about they are out to corupt anythuing good
And the pay they were asking for? $75,000 dollars an episode. And since FOX cut budjets they wouldnt even listen to the cast and their demands

On imdb there are no traces of a fifth Futurama movie. I wonder that when they ever decide to make it, if they would use the original voice actors, or the new ones. What the series are concerned, I think this is a really bad move. Try thinking of The Simpsons with everyone having a different voice. Homer is not Homer when he doesn't have Dan Castellaneta's voice.
Well I'm sure the voice-actors might want to move onto something else, y'know?
Also, if they asked for too much money, there's nothing really to be done about it.
Why is everyone blaming FOX? I mean, are they just supposed to shell out as much money as the cast asks for? That's just silly, not to mention, bad business.

One for Fox and the other one for anyone who thinks this is a good idea. (Mainly Fox)The infamous SCAMola said:

Seriously, firing Billy West who does the voices of a lot of the characters including the main character and John DiMaggio who voices Bender? Gentlemen, grab your Guy Fawkes masks and cheesy British 80's pop music, we have some protesting to do.
If memory serves, those boobs at FOX are responsible for screwing the pooch with shows like 'Firefly', so it honestly doesn't surprise me to see this happen.
It does, however, anger me. Very much so.
They won't get the (admittedly great) guest voice actors to step in for the old cast (I mean, Frank Welker most likely has bigger projects in the pipeline), and without folks like West, DiMaggio, LaMarche, LaMarr and MacNeille... this show is dead and gone.

But if they followed your advice we'd lose one of our greatest live action comedies. Futurama's great and your measure would probably be worth it, but could you suggest a less drastic course of action?Skizle said:
