YOU READ IT. YOU CAN’T UNREAD IT.
The cast of Futurama has officially re-signed for a new 26 episode season. I came across this recent development through my friend Rob Salem , the Toronto Star’s TV critic and my former professor. As expected , the talks have quickly (though not without trepidation, methinks) come to fruition for both sides, though apparently the voice actors will be receiving less scratch. My hero David X Cohen (the man who coined the term “cromulent” ) and some guy named Matt Groening who, I guess, works in the art department, had this to say: “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.” Ha-ha, I get it.
No more bad news, please! Roll out the episodes before we suffer a fate worse than death — pre-life!
Then death.
