A joyous return... gets fucked. Maybe.

If this is really the case... Im not so sure how happy I am about the return of the series.

Yeah I saw this on IGN today. If it really is the case, I agree with the majority of fan posters and say I'd rather the series stay dead. At least it can die with some dignity, as opposed to be booed off the stage when the new season totally tanks. I'd rather watch 7 year old season 1 repeats than a new season with a new voice cast.

I don't think I can watch it without the real voice of Bender.

LOS ANGELES–The Star has learned exclusively that the voice cast of Futurama has just signed a new contract with Fox after weeks of intense salary negotiations.

As late as last week, the network was threatening to replace the original voices of Matt Groening's cult-hit cartoon, to the point of actually announcing a casting call for voice actors to replace them.

The compromise agreement, with the studio paying more and the actors accepting less, comes after the announcement of a 26-episode pick-up here by Comedy Central. Futurama also airs internationally in syndication, has produced four bestselling straight-to-DVD movies (later cut into episodes) and an upcoming feature film.

A Fox spokesman, reacting to this story, insisted that only three of the cast have so far signed the deal, but later added that they expect to have the matter resolved by the end of the day.
