The Official Word from David X and Matt!

[on:]

I'm sorry if this doesn't deserve it's own thread, but I really think it does.

I just got the most amazing email from David X. Cohen and Matt Groening and I think you all need to read it!

"Dear Futurama Fan,


Thank you for voicing your strong support for Futurama and the original voice cast.  We appreciate the time you took to fire off a thoughtful and/or concerned and/or homicidal e-mail message to our casting director, Scott Muller.  (Rest assured, not a single one of these e-mails reached the actual decision-makers at 20th Century Fox Television.  For future reference, please note that Scott Muller is in fact one of Futurama's biggest fans, and was instrumental in bringing about the return of the cast.  Please hoist a bottle of Olde Fortran for Scott!)


Speaking of the cast returning...  good news, everyone!  The cast is returning!  All of our series regulars are back in action for Season 6.  Billy West, Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, Lauren Tom, Phil LaMarr, and David Herman are all on board and have already begun delivering their customary virtuoso performances.  The all-new Futurama episodes are slated to air on Comedy Central beginning in June, 2010.


We are extremely grateful for the outpouring of support for the series.  Your loyalty over the years has kept the show going through its original four seasons on FOX, its subsequent reincarnations on Adult Swim and DVD, and now its Bendiferous return to life on Comedy Central.  See you in the (near) future!


Sincerely,

David X. Cohen & Matt Groening"

YES!

Did you take this from the speculation thread?

Yes! Your simple automated email with no new information addressed to "Futurama Fan" and already posted by mossy in another thread, certainly deserves its own thread.

What?????

No, it was emailed to me a few hours ago, because I sent a few angry emails to the casting director a month ago when the actors were going to be re-cast. They sent out a mass email to anyone who emailed them.
I'm glad they finally gave us an official date, and that Phil LaMarr, Lauren Tom, and David Herman are coming back!

Don't be an A-hole.
I searched for it and didn't find anything in another thread.  These emails were just sent out today. It does have new information, they hadn't confirmed a date, or that the other VO's were coming back.

Don't double-post.

Yes. It's a mass email. Mossy got one too. He already posted it, here:

We already had a rough date and knew the cast were coming back.

Close this thread.

Someone close the thread, I can't figure out how.

I'm quitting this stupid forum anyway.
