Futurama Producers Firing Entire Cast - WTF!!!

**Scarlett O'Hara** · 07-23-2009, 09:50 PM

I love this programe. And I've found out recently that the makers of Futurama who've decided to make more episodes are firing the original voices of the characters involved! Link here:

Are you guys into this show? Do you think it will even be half decent without the original cast?

back when i used to watch it as a kid, i didn't really get it. these days though, i find it hilarious. idk, it always seemed like a comedy for "nerdy people", if i could be so blunt

Futurama without it's original cast is not Futurama.

I mean replacing Billy West? That's insane.

Yeah that's what I thought. I really hope this thing sorts itself out, Futurama is way better than the Simpsons.

It's just a contract negotiating tool.

Nothing more.

Billy West alone probably counts for more than half of all the voices in Futurama. Who in the hell do Fox think they are? You can't replace Billy West. That's like firing Dan Castelanetta from The Simpsons.

A lot of these tv networks don't think things through.

You remember John Kricfalusi, creator of Ren & Stimpy?

Nickelodeon had him fired from his own show.
