Here is the thing what they are asking is no unreasonable. These are some of the best voice actors ever (besides Frank Welker). On top of that do you realize how many voices these guys were doing on the show?
Billy- The Professor, Dr. Zoidberg, Fry, Zap, and so many incidentals.
John- Bender/Flexo, Barbados Slim, The Robot Cop, Sal, almost as many incidentals as Billy.
Maurice- Calculon, The Brain Spawn, Kiff, Fishy Joe, and just as many incidentals as John.
Now tell me this all the money they save by using 3 guys to do over 3/4s of the cast why shouldn’t they get paid good?

the direct to DVD movies were not quite as good as the tv show, but they were pretty good. the comic on the other hand RULES. I have every issue and I always find my self laughing out loud. Give them a read. I hear voices as i read…it is great. Long live FUTURAMA.

“There is no reason to hate FOX after all they did is uncancelled Futurama.”

lets say its not a PR stunt and they bring it back without the voice cast. This “uncancelation” would be worse than being canceled. As it currently is even though a number of people didnt like the movies, the way they ended the show, if it was over it would have gone out with a dignified ending. Bringing it back with new people is shitting all over it.

Relax, guys. This happened with the cast of “The Simpsons” also. In fact, it has happened what feels like half a dozen times with that cast by now, and FOX always meets the cast halfway and things get smoothed over. Besides, if they didn’t know when they made the announcement they were searching for replacements that no one would watch a new cast, they will now. There is not a chance in hell loyal fans of the show like us will actually watch a new cast, and that means the venture will not be profitable. I see no reason to worry yet at all.

There is no reason to hate FOX after all they did is uncancelled Futurama.

This way Comedy Central was able to air 26 episodes.

The FOX Crew that cancelled Futurama no longer works for FOX or in that department in FOX.

Fox is EVIL incarnate,

Management ploy to cow the voice talent into submission or bean counting jackassitude move by corporate knobs?? either way, D-bag move of epic proportions! Give the people what they want or suffer the consequences… reduced revenue… jerks.

Personally I loved Futurama as a TV show, but the direct to DVD movies didnâ€™t do much for me (they were ok, but it just didnâ€™t feel the same, just a rehash of the original showâ€™s best gags). I hope a new season can restore the magic, but without the original cast they will have a hard time doing this. Still $75,000 per cast member, per episode, thatâ€™s a bit much (especially when you think how many other shows these actors lend their voices to). If I where the head of fox I would fork out the money for one last finale episode and let the show end with some grace and dignity, but Iâ€™m not the head of fox, Iâ€™m just a fan-boy on a forum, so nobody listens to me (except for you Sean, Jay and Greg, thanks for this great website).

I can read the comic and hear Billy West’s voice and same as the rest. I hope they don’t try and change the voices. It’s not just the voice they would be changing it would be the characters personality. FOX will come to an agreement with Katie and John and the rest of the cast, I’m SURE of it! FUTURAMA is the greatest show ever and I got a tattoo of Leela (all sexy like) to keep hope alive. Also cancel family guy, american dad and the new cleveland show (no capital letters for shitty shows) FUTURAMA LIVES

Why does Fox hate us so much. this feels like when I was a kid and my cat ran away but then I was so happy when it came back, but then it had rabies and we had to have it killed.
