How Ren & Stimpy and Rocko's Modern Life ever got past the censors for a tv network marketed specifically towards children is nothing short of f*cking amazing.

Man, I miss those shows so much.

Yeah Ren& Stimpy was RAUNCHY for Nick.

I didn't even know Futurama was still making new episodes.

No it was canceled years ago.

But Comedy Central and the creators just signed a contract for a new season. It's making a comeback like Family Guy did.

...no billy west?..the man is a legend. This is a real kick in the arse, after a good show finally gets back on the air.Even if Frink and zoidberg said the most mundane things they'd sound hillarious.

Is there any online petitions I could add my name to?

Did anyone bother to read the article?

Cartoon Revival: Cartoon fans may have brightened up over the news that Futurama will return to television for 26 new episodes, but the bad news is that Comedy Central may have to replace the entire cast.
Futurama is expected back on the air in mid-season 2010, but casting is underway to replace the previous voice talent since agreements could not be made with any of the original stars.



Stars set for replacement include Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Billy West, and Tress MacNeille.



While nothing is certain yet, the problem seems to be that the original cast is asking for large pay increases that Comedy Central does not want to agree on.
Based on the popularity of the Futurama direct-to-DVD titles, an agreement is likely forthcoming, but in the meantime series fans are already fighting for their favorite performers to return to the show.
Can I say anything I want in a thread title, link it to any random news site, and get people indignant over it?

You remember John Kricfalusi, creator of Ren & Stimpy?

Nickelodeon had him fired from his own show.
I heard about that and then, ironically, Billy West stepped up to do both lead voices, among others. I like Billy West, but my main problem with the recast is how can you replace Katey Sagal? Or any of them for that matter? Their voices are so iconic and recognizable that you won't be able to watch the show the same way with a new voice cast. I mean it'd be different if the entire cast died, but just over money? It feels like Fox is becoming cheep lately, oh well at least Glee looks like it has potential.
