Will do, I am wondering weather to be polite (were you being sarcastic or not? ), or come off as a psycho?

I am not positive that this information is correct, that is why I gave its (indirect) source. Someone with more internet mining skills than me can verify that this email is associated with the Fox production company responsible for Futurama. At least it gives you a pattern to Google with...

Quote me if you get better information, so I can EDIT away any errors, otherwise I won't know you've made the post.

Well I sent them an email saying that Zoidberg wouldn't be the same.

in my book they have 2 options at FOX
1. pay the actors for one of only 3 sucessful FOX cartoons (1.simpsons 2.family guy)
2. leave it alone and dont try to "lucas" the franchise.

 

[Sharpeye42]

Without Billy West you lose 3 of the main characters and many extras, it just wont be the same without him.

 

[ultimateownage]

Didn't this happen to the Simpson actors ages ago? they asked for more money so fox fired them.

How dare Fox try to blame this on the cast themselves? They refuse to pay for the best, who we all know and love, so by their greed it's Fox's fault that the voice cast have to be replaced. It won't be the same, I love the current voice cast, and replacing them is like trying to replace Mickey Mouse with a rat. It just doesn't work. Let's just hope Fox come to their senses pretty damn soon, i.e. before voice acting starts for the new series...

 

[whaleswiththumbs]

No! They just won't be the same...

Although I'm open to the idea that they might be better voice actors, I doubt it. A lot. How can they replace Zoidberg?!!

Exactly, you can't replace the Zoidberg! And they can't be better, because the original voices were the voices for ALL of th episodes.

Fellow Escapists, if you love Futurama and have the courage to stop another big network from destroying a perfectly good show I call out to you. Gather you pitchforks, torches, and +12 Hammers of Smashing; the time has come to form the angry mob to end all angry mobs!! To long have we sat idly by, to long...ah fuck it, lets go tear apart fox studios till we find the bastard responsible!

If new actors are hired I will be actively boycotting the revival the show....and maybe throwing rotten food at passing Fox CEO's

For Planet Express, For New New York, FOR SLURM!!! /righteous zealousness

Oh yes, definitely. People, let's get permabanning on their asses...

Plus, I think I may have a spare doomsday device somewhere. I suppose I could part with one and still be feared...

Cookie for finding this, guy who I quoted doesn't count. Extra cookie for name of episode referenced...

 

[Baby Tea]

If not the same cast, the new seasons are dead to me.

Exactly.
Boycott the show! We want the original voice actors!

 

[Fret098]

well even though this is upsetting I am going to watch the new seasons and damn well try to like it.

 

[Icedshot]

ugh, how can you replace zoidberg? itd be like replacing homer in the simpsons...

 

[Eatbrainz]

Woah, Woah, Woah their not going to fire John DiMaggio, he is one of the best voice actors around and it would be impossible to find anyone else who can do an awesome voice for bender.

Hey, FOX aren't exactly the brightest tool in the shed.

i like this idea of new voice is it will not be the same

 

[The Great JT]

Y'know...I'm split on this one. While I want to side with John DiMaggio and say that FOX is idiots for not getting the real voice actors, I also have to see where FOX is coming from with the high price tags.

 

[Mromson]

Futurama is dead to me if the old voice cast isn't back.

 

[A Pious Cultist]

This is fake. Read: http://www.crunchgear.com/2009/07/17/fox-is-recasting-futurama/
It's from FOX, even though comedy central owns the show. Look at the linked clips in the email, they're parodying the move from fox to comedy central. They even start with "You're fired!".
Fake!
Fake!
Fakity-fake.

OK time to spam the shit out of fox.. they should look at paying for the voice actors as a investment rather than saying it's to exspensive..
