Futurama may return to Fox

[TCO]

I sure they'll find someone to replace each character and pull it off to an acceptable manner. I mean there's probably loads of them on Youtube.

I can do a good Zoidy voice, but it wouldn't be the same without the voice-actors. Anyway, I think that Fox'll drop it when they realise that rather than paying the people extra.

It's more than just an issue of "oh, it'll be easy enough to find someone who sounds like Fry" - Billy West and, to a lesser extent, Maurice LaMarche are amongst the best voice actors out there.

It shouldn't be too hard to find people who can do similar voices. It will prove next to impossible to find people who can do similar voices who can act with them.

Well, yes, that's part of it. But I also don't think people are realising that Billy West wasn't just the voice of Fry, for example. The chances of finding someone who can accurately replicate West's performance as Fry, Farnsworth, Zoidberg and a shedload of supporting characters? Pretty minimal if you ask me. Personally, I don't want to see Futurama come back, as it's pretty much guaranteed that it would all be downhill from here - I'd rather they stick with four great seasons, a couple of good movies and a couple of poor ones, and don't let it become a shadow of its former self.

And in news that isn't shocking but is still a huge relief, the original cast has apparently signed on.
