I'm a shipper but I'm not a hard-core shipper. I agree that it will get boring having them go out every single episode. I'd like to have a few shippy episodes but I just don't want the 'ship to be the main focus of the whole series.
I really don't think they'd do that.

Apparently, the first episode of the new series is titled 'Rebirth.' If it is actually resetting--I'm going to suspect that their smaller 'writing staff' are just washed-up FOX executives. Also, I'll riot.
You are not paying much attention, are you?

That only makes how David X. phrased it more interesting. If he's not using the word incorrectly, then what can we expect?
Lots of amniotic fluid?

I'm pretty sure you won't be able to see any difference.

Because there won't be a decline in quality. at least from a visual perspective anyway.
I apologize for being unclear. My question is, why are you pretty sure there won't be a decline in visual quality? I mean, do you have any actual information about, for example, the new animation budget and how it will affect Rough Draft, or is it just a gut feeling?

I have heard somewhere that orchestra (Christpher Tyng and his band) was scrapped or some such.

I think it was Officer 1BDI throwing this information around. You might get some details out of her.

Sounds like it might be some confusion concerning Christpher Tyng and "his orchestra". When the 4 movies were announced it was mentioned that the orchestra was eliminated to cut production costs but Tyng himself was retained. Sounds like someone might be confusing old news for new news. Also, I've never heard the term "his orchestra" before just the generic term orchestra. My guess is that musicians are hired on an as-needed basis depending on the score.

You would be correct, everybody else must be on drugs.
And you're not. Because these are some good drugs. Sounds like it might be some confusion concerning Christpher Tyng and "his orchestra".

Thanks for the clarification. I apologise for causing confusion.

Losing the orchestra is a bummer, considering how much great use Tyng got out of it. Still, while the quality is lower, the music itself is still good. Tyng's pieces still carry though even a synthesizer.
This is how I feel about the subject. Still, it'll be a shame if the production costs continue to prevent the hiring of orchestra musicians, since the orchestrated music really did add to the show's grandeur. But as long as Christopher Tyng is still around, the music quality shouldn't decline.

Do we really expect any of the VA's to say an episode they're making "sucks rocks"?
Still, I have high hopes for the new season - as long as the RESET! button is used very sparingly.

He probably wouldn't have mentioned it if that was the case Anyway, they seem to be doing a table read every two to three weeks at the moment...is that because of the "shorter delivery schedule" that was mentioned somewhere before? I hope it isn't affecting the quality of the show..... From the Future of Futurama Facebook group (the founder is a "personal friend" of LaMarche): One of my concerns going in to the new season was the shortened production schedule and reduced writing staff. Would that negatively impact the quality of the finished product? Only time will tell, but the report I have gotten from the table readings are that these first three offerings are as good as anything that has yet been written--that there are more laughs per page, and that clever plot twists abound. I don't imagine that the writers turned off their minds just because the show was not renewed, so perhaps they have had this time to incubate the ideas that are now coming to life.
Yeah I know it could just be them trying to get us excited about the new season but I think they really do mean it....they wouldn't want to up our hopes now to dash them expertly later would they?

For now, I am willing to give the writers and the voice actors the benefit of doubt. Who knows, really?
