I liked the last movie. Although, I think the 3rd one, Bender's Game, was my favorite of the four.

And, "Good News Everyone!" Comedy Central is bringing Futurama back for another 26 new episodes, to begin airing in 2010.

I always thought Futurama was as well written, if not better at times, than The Simpsons. This is certainly great news to hear!

What the ruff?!!!!!!!!! They want the money that Futurama's fans will generate for them but they don't want to pay the salaries for the cast that we have come to love and expect?!!!! That is totally lame!!!!!!

I know. This really irks me >:[

Fox tried to pull this with the voice cast of the Simpsons. Finally they (Fox) buckled. I hope they come to their senses and do the same with the cast of Futurama. I can't even imagine the characters of Futurama with different voices

I don't know how accurate this is, but I found this on the Facebook "Save the Voices of Futurama" page:

This is a bit of encouraging news. However, we should not let up as the opinion we express may be critical in their decision.

Posted by Bob Bergen (aka The voice of Porky Pig) in a voice-over actors forum:

"Gang, this is a negotiation ploy. The cast of The Simpsons have gone through this several times.

The studio and network make zillions more than whatever amount the cast of Futurama is asking for. And whatever they are asking, they deserve!!

I've been on these actor's side of the negotiation table many times. I recently had to audition for Porky Pig again for the 4th time in 19 years.

I know we all want to work. But I beg everyone to stay clear of these auditions! There will be more jobs, I promise! You don't need this one!

Put yourself in these actor's places!! You know how you'd feel if the VO world went after your job.

I believe in karma! And I believe in character and ethics over a gig.

Many in the cast are friends of mine.

Please support them by refusing to audition!!

Thanks!

[adult swim] really missed out on their chance to hold on to Futurama, oh well, their loss, our gain.
