Remember how I wrote, not too long ago, that "Futurama" is coming back? Yeah, that's exciting. That show was great, and I was very sad to see it go. Watching the reruns on Cartoon Network's "Adult Swim" block was fine at first, but you can see the old episodes only so many times before you get sick of them. That's why I haven't really tuned in to Comedy Central's broadcasts, seeing as they're the same old thing.
(Oh, and I'm not a huge fan of the movie-length episodes, for the most part. They're all right, but not really.)
Unfortunately, it appears that Twentieth Century Fox has put out a casting call for the new episodes. From what I can tell, it looks like all of the major voices are going to be replaced, probably with "soundalike" actors.
It appears that someone wants to save money by hiring new voice actors instead of paying our old, favorite folks what they're asking. If this is true, then it sucks. I understand having to stick to a budget and all that good stuff, but come ON. If it's possible to hire back the old voice actors, even at a higher pay rate than the new guys, then do it. "Futurama" could make a buttload of money almost overnight if everyone involved did things right. However, if they churn out a cheap imitation of the old favorite, they're going to either fail or come close to it.
