Futurama Cast to be Replaced

That's right. Once again Fox seems to be clueless as to why the show is successful. Sure the writing is awesome, but what really brings the show to life are Billy West, Katey Segal, John Dimaggio, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, Maurice LeMarche, & the other many talented voice actors. To recast these voices would be an epic FAIL. As a Futurama fan I do not think that Fox understands what recasting will mean. Many of us will simply refuse to watch. Not only that but we will refuse to buy any more Futurama related products. When a show becomes a CULT hit & garners a CULT following you can not simple replace main aspects of the show. If you do, we will scream & shout & make your life miserable until we get your attention or until we bring so much attention to the issue that the whole world begins to see what we are saying & your idiocy becomes apparent. That is why we are referred to as a CULT audience. There are three ways to avoid this. #1) Pony up the money you cheap bastards. #2) Scrap the whole idea & be honest about the fact that you were too cheap to pony up the money. #3) Sell it to another network so that the fans can enjoy the show, the actors can get paid what they deserve, and you can see what complete idiots you were for not ponying up the money. Since it is well known that FOX has no loyalties to its viewers I doubt any of these will happen. I would like to see Matt Groening step up for the people who have helped pay his mortgage by doing such an excellent job & earning him an Emmy. I mean, where is he in all of this? David X. Cohen has been awfully quiet as well. Fox, seriously...don't do this. You will have an oppurtunity to reap much money from Futurama if you keep the original cast intact. ALL of them. More money from toy, shirt, sign, poster, soundtrack, DVD, etc. sales. If you recast? $0. Nada. Nothing. You will have spent so much money on preproduction & everything else that goes into relaunching a show & you will not make one red cent. No one is going to watch. You see, without the original cast, well, it just isn't Futurama. No matter what you call it.
