Pardon the title, Morbo was yelling at me.
So Futurama is coming back. Yay!
Then rumors abounded that Fox wasn’t bringing back the original voice actors. Boo!
But now it looks like they are bringing back the original actors. Yay!
So what’s next? They won’t have Hypnotoad?

Listen up, Fox: YOU WILL BRING BACK HYPNOTOAD. YOU WILL…

Good. Futurama wouldn’t be the same without the original voice actors.
After being disappointed with the show’s resurgence in movie format (which, I feel, doesn’t work so well for a show like Futurama), and being further disappointed at rumors that the original voice actors might not be involved in proper new episodes, this is very good news indeed.

It might be time for another production run of Torgo’s Executive Powder…

THE QUOTATION YOU HAVE REFERENCED WAS NOT PHRASED THAT WAY, GOODNIGHT
August 4th, 2009 at 11:09 am
Woohoo! Futurama’s even greater than I thought it was!
August 4th, 2009 at 11:10 am
Excellent! But the word you want is “yea”, not “yay”. Two different words.
August 4th, 2009 at 11:16 am
Whew! Given FOX’s panache for making, well, let’s say “mind-meltingly horrible” decisions regarding their programming, this comes as a substantial relief. If they’d have recast the series fans would have revolted and formed riot mobs outside of FOX headquarters. And I really wouldn’t want to have to do that. I mean, I think they still know me from when they canceled Firefly.

FUTURAMA QUOTES DO NOT WORK THAT WAY

August 4th, 2009 at 11:29 am
Yay! I was so disappointed when it first came out that the original voices might not be returning…what a relief
On a completely unrelated note…I was wondering if you (Phil) or anyone watched the show Defying Gravity on Sunday. I thought it was a good show story-wise and was wondering how good the science is (aside from the nano-technology creating artificial gravity)…is it informed by SEE? It seemed to be pretty good, but I was hoping you would give a review of the show, especially since it seems that it could possibly get the public more excited about space exploration. Sorry if you’ve already talked about it and I somehow missed it!

Zoidberg is the one and only hero of the show:
Help! Friends! A guinea pig tricked me!
August 4th, 2009 at 3:03 pm
@Zucchi: Yay is perfectly acceptable in this context.
August 4th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
I will join in the praise of the Hypnotoad if someone will just remove this brain slug…
August 4th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Having all the original actors back is as vital to Futurama as the L-Unit is to space travel. Bad news nobody!
August 4th, 2009 at 4:09 pm
Good news, everyone! Huzzah!
August 4th, 2009 at 4:49 pm
There are actors in Futurama? Hmm….
August 4th, 2009 at 5:46 pm
Fox had better, for everybody’s sake, give Hypnotoad the Glory that is His. Otherwise on December 21, 2012 He will destroy us all.
August 4th, 2009 at 8:12 pm
Meh, I’m waiting for the remake in the actual year 3000 (assuming we don’t all suffer Death from the Skies(TM) before then). It’s not like being heads in jars will stop the cast from being able to speak their parts!
Ah, who am I kidding — Futurama rocks and I can’t wait for morALL HAIL THE GLORY OF THE HYPNOTOAD!
August 4th, 2009 at 8:15 pm
I don’t mind if the Hypnotoad destroys us all, as long as he does it from the skies and uses totally sweet special effects :p
August 4th, 2009 at 9:40 pm
Oh, snap!

Good News Everyone…
August 5th, 2009 at 7:37 am
Funny, isn’t it? I can’t even look at the image of Hypnotoad without hearing the sound effect, and seeing the eyes warble and vibrate… ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!

I hope they get their live symphony back too!
August 5th, 2009 at 1:19 pm
Is this FOX’s doing? I thought FOX relinquished production rights to Comedy Central.
