New Futurama Series will not have original Voice Actors.
 
Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

My hope is that they either dump the cast and get new characters, or give everyone hilarious new accents that make them feel like new characters.

Soundalikes will ruin things forever.

Oh fuck.

lbyrd2 07-18-2009 02:49 AM

hopefully they won't be too bad.

where did you find out?

OddjobAbe 07-18-2009 02:50 AM

There.

Dammit. That Sucks.

MeechMunchie 07-18-2009 05:50 AM

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
(Actually, the script called for me to say 'yes', but I gave it a little twist.)

OANST 07-18-2009 06:12 AM

I'm out.

Munch's Master 07-18-2009 06:56 AM

My sentiments match OANST's.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's lost the will to watch it because of this.

JESUS. H. FUCKING. CHRIST.

Cletus, get the shotgun I am going Fox hunting

Mac Sirloin 07-18-2009 12:50 PM

Wow. That's just fucking ridiculous.

Crashpunk 07-18-2009 12:51 PM

OMG. First Doctor Who and now this.

Leto 07-18-2009 01:23 PM

Fucking bullshit.

The movies already started to spiral down after the first one... I'm sure this new series will be as convoluted as it is stale

Mac Sirloin 07-18-2009 02:01 PM

I'm going to lose my mind if Seth Mcfarlane has any sway over the series. I can't stand that asshole.

Oh dear...

I'm sure the actors are now kicking themselves silly.

I seem to recall a similar incident on the Simpsons * where the voice actors threw their toys out of their pram, said "YOU CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT US!" and demanded more money. Fox let them leave, and the shellshocked actors came crawling on their hands and knees begging for Fox to take them back.

*or another popular American sitcom... It might have been friends

I'll give the pilot episode a go, but to me, this defeats the whole point of the Futurama comeback.

Nate 07-18-2009 07:21 PM

No, it was The Simpsons. They did end up getting a pay rise, just not as much as they wanted.

Jordan 07-19-2009 03:58 AM

Ew, why revive it when you can't hire the original voice actors? I hate it when they do that. They don't realise one of the best things about about Futurama is the voice acting. Jeez.

Fuzzle Guy 07-19-2009 04:02 AM

What bothers me is that every voice Billy West did, you could tell it was Billy West. You could tell every character done by Billy West... was Billy West. It will be impossible to find soundalikes for all these characters.

Alcar 07-19-2009 03:54 PM

They changed voice actors for the Rebuild of Evangelion series too :(

It's never the same.

Alcar...

shaman 07-19-2009 04:21 PM

I've decided to give the new series one shot, if it sucks (and it probably will) that's it for me.

Fuzzle Guy 07-19-2009 05:10 PM

Keep trying! It might get better. Pilot's are renowned for sucking See what I did there? =D

But don't watch them on TV. Download them. Don't contribute to their viewing figures. We will not condone their replacement of the actors.

Crashpunk 07-19-2009 11:30 PM

The person who voices Fry also dose Zodiberg, and the professor, Even more characters ruined. *Cries*

Sadly yes, yes I did

Rampage48 07-20-2009 04:47 AM

Man Zoidberg and Benders voice were the best. Now the show isnt even worth a glance.

Bullet Magnet 07-20-2009 03:46 PM

The fact is, the whole budget for the new episodes will be a mere fraction of what it was.

EEEEEEFFFFFFFFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One more reason that Fox should be sodomized, both literally and figuratively.
