THE MATT GROENING SERIES Futurama has just recently been picked up for a new season. However, the original voice cast has been fired over pay discrepancies.
The original voices of Fry, Leela, and Bender all have this insane notion that they are somehow partly responsible for the success of the show and therefore deserving of mild recognition for their efforts. This of course doesn't fit into the plans of Fox Television.
Fox's sound judgment has led them to cancel such lesser known shows as Arrested Development, Family Guy, Firefly, and even a show called Futurama.
And a good thing they canceled all of them because it's not like they found new life in syndication, DVD sales, feature films, direct to DVD features, cult fan bases, comic con conventions, or comic books.
Billy West, John DiMaggio, Katey Sagal, and Maurice La Marche are worth it. Fox will surely lose more money from an outraged fan base than they will save by recasting lesser-known voice actors.
If you are as pissed off as I am, or if you simply have a slow day at work, please send FOX a letter telling them how idiotic they are for this move. I'll even pay for your stamp if that represents a financial hardship.* Letters are really weird because nobody sends them anymore, and executives tend to believe that one hard copy letter represents the opinion of about a hundred other people who were too lazy to write.
Seriously.
