Article: Is FOX Planning to Recast FUTURAMA?
Futurama was originally canceled because no one watched it. No one watched it because Fox treated it like a red headed step child. It was on Sundays at 7pm, which was perfect for it to be constantly preempted by sports. Some weeks it was a baseball game no one cared about. Other weeks it was a race no one cared about. When Futurama did manage to air, you were never sure if it was going to be a new episode or a random rerun in the middle of the season. But that really didn't matter because there were never any commercials for Futurama anyway. So lo and behold, it got raped in the ratings.
I suppose they realized how great the show was because they released 4 straight-to-DVD movies. With all the success of the DVD sales and the ratings on Adult Swim and Comedy Central, they decided to make two new seasons! Awesome!
But now it appears they want to find cheap "sound-alikes" instead of using the original voices. My prediction is that they're just setting up Futurama to be an utter disaster once again.
Stop fucking with the things I like goddamnit!
