Futurama Fans lament!

FOX has released a statement noting that Billy West (Fry, Professor, and Ziodberg), Katey Sagal (Leela), John DiMaggio (Bender), Maurice LaMarche (Kif Kroker, among others), and Tress MacNeil (Mom, and several others) will not be back for the new season of Futurama because of their salary demands.

I expect there will be riots at the SDCC Futurama panel on Saturday. And I expect I won't be bothering with the new season.

Not futurama.

I agree, not Futurama. Way to go Fox. For a minute, I thought they had done something smart, but now I realized they've just decided to bend all Futurama fans over yet again.

The show is doomed! *deep breath* DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!

They WHAT?!!!!!!!!!!!

What?! No! Come on, Fox!

Fox is stupid that way - they killed Firefly too, which was one of there best series ever in my opinion.

It´s not set in stone, they know the rating will take it up the ass if the original cast doesn´t return.

This happened to the Simpsons some 4/5 times and they ended up raising their salaries.

I´ll be very surprised if they don´t do the same with Futurama, which like most of the people said, it won´t be Futurama without the original cast.

They just secretly hate all shows starting with F

it's their fundamentalist leanings. Sometimes "the F word is bad!" can be taken too far.
I think we need a "tongue-in-cheek" smilie

Well they did give "Fringe" a second season...

I can't believe that. Oh well. Now I'm not watching it. Thanks Fox. Once again your executives can suck my dick.

...which is a feat unto itself!
