Awesome, the shorter episodes really did better than the longer filmS

Wage demands will go down and the originals will come back onboard or I doubt it will happen.

That would suck if they changed voices.

That would suck if they changed voices.

BAD NEWS EVERYONE

When the "Futurama" characters come back for new episodes on Comedy Central in mid-2010, they may sound different.

That is because producing studio 20th TV is proceeding with auditioning new actors for the roles after failing to reach an agreement with the original voice cast: John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Billy West, Tress MacNeille and Katey Sagal.

I don't personally see the point in carrying on without the original voice cast.

Had a suspicion this would happen. No doubt all part of how negotiating pay in that industry works

It would have failed miserably with new voice actors.

Wow this is amazing news! Lets hope they've come to their senses and finish The Simpsons off for good. The Simpsons have been consistantly poor for about 8years or so now, I can't even bring myself to watching the newer episodes of the Simpsons.

But Futurama definatly went out before its time, I'm really glad its coming back, great news!

 

[Trifid]

Good news everyone!

Damn it, I tried not to but failed miserably to say that in a normal voice.

 

[LeftfieldTilt]

Excellent, now just hurry its up!

 

[sammo62]

Is this going to be on UK TV anytime soon?

 

[yoyo50]

Sky One holds broadcasting rights in the UK for Futurama, however when asked, a Sky One spokesperson told Wired: “We have no plans to show the new series of Futurama at the moment. The decision is yet to be made.”

 

[Johnny|lucidcomposure]

Well Comedy Central show it in America. Surely they show it here too?

 

[ci_newman]

Does anyone have any news on a UK airdate yet? Did some searching online but couldn't find anything conclusive

 

[Neil79]
