Original Futurama Cast Seals Deal With Fox

Svippy writes "As we discussed earlier, 20th Century Fox Television was attempting to recast Futurama. As it turns out, this was just part of a big negotiation ploy, and the original cast have now completed their deals to return with the show's new episodes. For those of you who did not follow the story, a chronology of the events and reactions from the cast members are available at Infosphere and Voice Actors in the News. Series creators Matt Groening and David X. Cohen said, 'We are thrilled to have our incredible cast back. The call has already gone out to the animators to put the mouths back on the characters.'"

    No offense to the voice actors... They're great, of course...

    But I'd rather have the original writers back. Any word on them?

    So ah, if he wants his last name to be pronounced like "Greyning" then why does he spell it so that it looks like it should be pronounced "Growning?"

    Why does he spell his last name correctly as it appears on his birth certificate? I don't know why anyone would ever consider doing that.

    Seriously, by what rule of English grammar does "Groe" sound exactly like "Grey"??

    What does English grammar have to do with a German name?

    It's a good thing it's coming back, because I was about to build my own Futurama. With blackjack! And hookers!
