Sorry, I'm not following Futurama posting protocol:

Good news everybody!

Recently it was announced that Fox and the Cartoon Network were planning on bringing back Futurama for a new run of episodes, Yay! But wait, don't get too excited yet, it seems like they've managed to screw the series once again. This week they posted a casting call to replace all the main actors-Billy West, John DiMaggio, Katey Segal, Tress MacNeille, and Maurice LaMarche. Wait a minute, that's not good news at all!

http://tv.ign.com/articles/100/1004973p1.html

What is wrong with them, what do they have against this series? They've got three freaking Seth McFarlane series running this fall, but oh, they don't have any money to spend on Futurama now, do they?

Not yesterday, but this week, yes. I don't care, though, it deserves duplicate threads. Sad news, indeed.

Calm down bro! They'll be needing the money to issue formal apologies for the failure called the Cleveland show.

What was going through MacFarlane's mind when he decided to make that? Cleveland isn't even that popular of a character... :?

I don't know how they think they're going to replace Billy West. On the commentaries seasoned voice actors are always trying to do some of his voices and can't get them right.

Not sure if he was on the commentary for the episode he did, I'll have to re-watch it. Still, I have yet to hear anyone do as good a Zoidberg or Zapp impression as Billy.
