OVERWHELMING and loving support that I have received from the
amazing fans of Futurama!

hoping that things will work out!
Wonderful wonderful people.

Hi Billy,
Hope all of this works out for the best! We're behind you 100%, obviously. Is there anything else we fans can do to help the cause? I'm not above donning a metal Bender suit and picketing studios in 90 degree heat, if that'll help...
Are you still planning on attending Comicon? I'm sure there are a lot of inquiring minds who'd like to hear what you have to say.

Billy, I know that in the past you have mentioned you don't lurk at other message boards but just to let you know, PEEL (Planet Express Employees Lounge) is behind a campaign to send e-mails and regular mail to FOX about the importance of retaining the original voice actors.
I know you can't say anything because negotiations are underway and you can't risk compromising your side but please know this: The hardcore fans who were partially responsible for Futurama's return as a whole will refuse to watch the revised series if the original Voice Actors don't return.
We love you, Katey and John that much.
Good luck.

We love you Billy !!.It's crazy that they want to recast Futurama !.I know they had another voice actor for Doug in the Disney version, which was also a bad idea !.Actually, that series shouldn't have been made at all, the Nickelodeon version is the best !.You cannot be replaced Billy, you're the best and I mean that.Good luck, and i hope everything works out for you and the rest of the cast !
I know i mentioned this before, but i wanted to add some more to this thread aswell

To me, the voices are Futurama! Every joke, every emotional moment, every... uh... other kind of moment... doesn't fully become Futurama until you or the others make it so with what I consider some of the finest acting on all of television.
Irreplaceable! So you're more than welcome and also thank you, as well!

Seriously, they cannot do the show without you, and the rest of the current cast. Whatever the particulars are, they better have their heads in order, I want the new episodes to be watchable. I'm sure none of the producers would be looking forward to this other outcome.

Australian fans are supporting you and the rest of the cast.
Ive said it before, just because you are providing the voice to an animated character, doesnt mean you should be given less than a usual actor...PLUS you are doing more than one! You are providing the soul along with the writers and animators and the rest of the crew.
GOOD LUCK!

Stay strong Billy!
I'm an international fan that will always support the Futurama voice cast.
The fans are not giving up, we are gonna do our best.
The show must go on with you and the rest of the original voice cast!!

It's already been said, but I and countless other Futurama fans are behind you and the other voice actors all the way on this. And I will be one of those people who stops watching the show if you all are replaced; it just wouldn't be the same show.
Phil LaMarr posted on his Facebook account a short time ago that you, John, Maurice, and Katey have all been "disinvited" to Comic-Con, which I think is horrible.

I like that.
I still would like to know who the asshole is that initially came up with the idea of recasting in the first place.
We should find this moron and fire him out of a cannon into the sun.

Fire him out of two cannons into a binary star. The disinvite is pretty ominous...

well, it seems everything has already been said, and I'm not one to repeat what's already been said, since everything's already been said so there's no need to repeat it... what's been said I mean.....yeah.
anyway, honestly, good luck with everything billy, and the rest of the cast too!
I seriously hope the "powers" that be get with it and realize that futurama is, for the most part, a type of show that is very devoted fan based, and pulling such a moronic stunt as to change the entire cast from the original cast to....whoever, would be a very poor decision (to say the least) on their part. Yeah sure, even if they do get the occasional un devoted fan who doesn't care who does the voices, I'm sure they'd catch on after a while and realize the spark is gone and, sadly now lies just another hollow primetime show devoid of all soul, passion and feeling.
Let's all hope someone or something kicks them with a boot to the head! and knocks some sense into them...
good luck with everything again billy, and as you already know, we're all behind you and the rest of the cast all the way!
(ps. I use the "powers" that be loosely, because if they realize it or not, when it comes to ratings and who watches what, they have no power. it's us, the viewers and devoted fans who hold that right!)
