Futurama with new voices?

The good news is that Futurama is making its way back to TV. Is there bad news? According to Forces of Geek (obsession is not a choice) a casting notice has gone out to replace DiMaggio, LaMarche, Billy West and Katy Sagal.

If true this would mean new voices for Fry, Leela, Bender, the Professor, Zoidberg as well as the Mom, Zapp Brannigan and Kif.

Stefan Blitz, of Forces of Geek, wisely theorises that this may be a cost cutting issue by FOX. Sound-alikes could be hired at a lot less than the original cast. However FOX risks a terrible backlash from the fans and perhaps even a boycott.

    I would guess that there is a certain percentage of people who believe that the atheists/secularists are organizing to remove God from the public sphere just as there appears to be a sizable percentage of people who seem believe that fundamental evangelical Christians are trying to put more God in the public sphere.
