You heard about “Futurama” being returned to production after the success of those straight-to-video movies, right? Well, bad news, everyone — it looks like 20th Century Fox is bringing the show back without the original voice cast.

Apparently the new episodes are being produced at a reduced rate, and Fox doesn’t want to pay the actors what the actors want to be paid … so it’s recasting all the roles with new talent.

I refuse to accept this. There is only one Bender Bending Rodriguez, and his voice is supplied by John DiMaggio. Any replacement can bite his shiny metal ass.

… okay, there are hundreds of Bender units out there, but you know what I mean.
