[@Lakitu1134]

"This isn't just a comedy show, this is a straight up Sci-Fi! And I think that's actually one of the things people responded to, and by "people," I mean everybody except the FOX executives." BOOM.

[@SilentNightBodomNight]

F fox!

[@dorothyallspice1862]

Phil just hit the nail right on the head.

[@CajunRenaissance]

Don't forget your Torgo's executive powder!

[@spartan343x2]

This has been my all-time favorite show. Nothing will ever change that. Every character gave the show depth and heart. Ive lost count how many times Ive binged watched the entire series.

[@beckyg9831]

me too

[@ChrisGorski]

Hedonism bot is one of my all-time favorites. What a ridiculous character

[@NightMedicine]

Hedonism Bot is hands down the funniest character I've ever seen.

[@ChrisGorski]

The voice and writing are perfect for that character

[@AsellusPrimus]

I always say I feel like Hedonism Bot in certain situations and I don't think anyone ever knows what I mean.

[@urekmazino6800]

Zap is my favorite lmao

[@hopewarner9134]

I APOLOGISE FOR NOTHING!

[@mattglass9782]

watching the voice actor do hedonism bot gave me such joy haha and to hear him yell THE CLAMPS as well

[@user-pt1cz4ot1e]

3:21 “Kif, alert the men! I’ve made it with a womaannnnn.”

[@shaunmattice6413]

Maurice is probably one of my all-time favourite voice actors

[@yoshistar0708]

Us Canadians are great 😂

[@skylorandrews6608]

OMG I recognized Maurice's burp as Wakko before he even said it! An iconic burp? Who knew!

[@BuddyStewart94]

OMG hilarious. Iconic burp xD the most famous thing he might be known for

[@frankiealice4879]

I'm still watching, years later. It brings me such joy to know the cast enjoyed making it as much as I enjoy the show.

[@Amalthea16]

I love this show, so glad it's coming back!

[@leightonpatrick2775]

I wish they would make one more season or even just one more movie!! I absolutely love this show so much

[@Toosii2times]

Straight up Only reason I have Hulu

[@luchianno]

Check the news!)))

[@hopelessnerd6677]

It's happening NOW!

[@heatah]

Good news, everyone!

[@ericsilver9401]

Hulu is reviving the show with 20 episodes coming in 2023!

[@derekfreiley7980]

This is the show I go to when I want to watch something I’ve seen dozens of times but I still love. This is a real gem

[@kenny995]

I remembering seeing Futurama as a kid and not really getting it. But as an adult, wow! The voice acting, writing, jokes, story continuity, emotions, everything is so good! I watched it about a 6 times now and each time I find something new and pick up on reoccurring back ground characters, jokes, or animation bits that I missed before. I will never grow tired of Futurama.

[@mr.kyoryu6828]

This is my ALL TIME FAVORITE!!! I must have been watching it no less than 50 times in the past 10 years, and I’m not even American, nor is English my native language. Every time I revisit it, every single episode reveals something new to me. The punchline and the joke never get old, always leave me with amazement how brilliantly creative and humorous the writers and actors are, so insightful to the human condition and sprinkled with a dark cynical zest. Whenever I’m feeling low, I go back to the show and it warms and warms my heart. And I just love the interview! How very genuine and present these actors/artists/human beings are, and it’s so entertaining to just listen to their stories and watch them do their crafts! I love Futurama and I say it with a heartful of gratitude! Thank you for the upload!

[@AsellusPrimus]

I feel that so much. There are so many layers to the show.. It can be so dark and whitty but also so silly and dopey the next moment.

[@lostinthewoods3918]

I absolutely love futurama, you can tell they put a lot of thought into the writing, the jokes can be simple enough for you to grasp but some are also easy to miss. I notice something new every time re-watch it

[@shubhamnema8281]

These are legends who made their voice eternal in our minds. Love this show

[@notsureiL]

4:48 hilarious 😅😅😅

[@andreivisinoiu6449]

popped up in my recomended videos... started watching futurama again after hearing fry and the professor ;)

[@EnduringFoliage]

Glad they finally are rebooting the show

[@davorianware1382]

These people are magic

[@dannythomas417]

They all are. But the three cast members who weren’t interviewed are the most magical. Katey Sagal(Leela) always provided incredible dialogue alongside my hero Tress MacNeille(Munda). David Herman(Morris) was the icing on the cake in their scenes. That trio teamed up in Leela’s Homeworld as well. Man, did they make me cry.

[@staceyt6466]

I’ll forever cry about fry and Seymour

[@yorkshirepud9245]

You should see people’s faces when I tell them I think Futurama is literally the best show ever made 😂 priceless!!

[@leob4403]

Zoomers don't know about it I presume?

[@Yaman328]

I am sooooo happy Futurama is coming back!!

[@kevincaldwell4707]

Gotta say, Calculon is probably my favorite secondary character in this show, and there are a lot of great ones in this show.

[@d0ct0rhu11]

His monologue!!!

[@Mew4U]

I met Matt Greoning. He was sooo awesome and humble. What a great guy!

[@Tony-iu7sw]

yes.. Futurama was my favorite.. but if they bring it back I hope it's with season ones comedy punchlines and storyboard

[@chasingamurderer]

Agreed the writing was its fail. More nonsense and more idiot!

[@sirtavion20]

I still love this show. It was absolutely brilliant

[@ryanengler7968]

The episode about fry’s mom was the one that hit me the hardest. All I wanna do is talk to my dad just one more time

[@sethlong9118]

Billy West could do whatever he wanted to me as long as he kept dr. Zoidbergs voice.

[@dannythomas417]

So could the one voice Katey Sagal with Leela. But Tress MacNeille and David Herman could do anything with any voice they did. Those three are heroes in my book.

[@nathan3084]

Watching through the entire series again right now and I'm enjoying each episode as much as I did the first time. I would have started on the new episodes but felt I should go back through the previous seasons to refresh.

[@El_IF_B_2]

Same bro

[@leeleehenry5074]

Mr. West is one of the funniest voice actor...especially is spot on Larry Fine impression.

[@Shrek-ru5of]

2023 it is coming back!!! Look it up!!!

[@thelaitas]

WE'RE BACK, BABY

[@ashy_v5849]

The episode with Fry and his dog… It will get me fur-ever. 😢

[@AceTheGreat999]

As a 25 year old man, who grew up on Futurama, I still will get emotional on Seymour's episode

[@Jamesssssssssssssss]

All these people are so so so talented.

[@WhyForWhatNow]

Maurice natural voice is the scary door

[@troyandabedsewntogether7812]

Omg his speaking voice is like a don-bot calculon mix i love it and Billy's normal speaking voice is so Fry.

[@mimmina90]

I WANT FUTURAMA BACK! :'(

[@elliebingo]

Good news mimmina90!

[@mimmina90]

@@elliebingo YESSSSS 😍😍😍😍

[@queenieqt2033]

Check out disenchantment

[@Andressennn909]

Good news everyone!

[@dimitreze]

I'm watching everything from the start sooo good

[@beckyg9831]

This is my favorite--not just my favorite cartoon, but favorite all around show! The ending was a perfect episode, and it makes me teary eyed every time I watch it.

[@briancain9486]

Best shoW ever made. Period.

[@d0ct0rhu11]

When Maurice did that Calculon monologue. Wow!

[@greensky01]

Good NEWS everyone! Futurama is presumably coming back for a third time! 🎉

[@OnionChoppingNinja]

HOW is that supposed to be good news?! Knowing how reboots go in this day and age it most likely ends up being a steaming pile of woke garbage!

[@redrick8900]

@@OnionChoppingNinja Hey, it's that thing racists say about modern TV.

[@AndersEngerJensen]

6:42 Crying even just thinking about it. :(

[@lukedavis3703]

Now I know why Billy & John are good friends

[@hauntedhose]

Even if Futurama was just a straight up scifi show it would work….the comedy makes this show one of the best animated progs ever ❤

[@alexmathewmendoza]

The cast lineup on this show was incredible.

[@michaellee8815]

Currently binging on Hulu

[@raven11356]

You know that meme with Fry holding a fist full of money yelling "shut up and take my money!" That's me every time they mention theyre reviving the series.

[@Obrian81]

I knew it!! Billy West says they wanted Phil Hartman for Kif.. I immediately thought of Troy McClure when Futurama came on.. since Hartman voiced Troy McClure! 😂

[@gagemead27]

That guy did the burp in Elf, and that's hilarious.

[@danielgudinojuarez6729]

4:50 to 4:56 Your Welcome!!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@frostzerokill2525]

That one person who disliked this video can bite Bender's shiny metal ass

[@sofiathefirstmusicofficial]

1:59: I know who he is, he is Maurice LaMarche as The Brain from Pinky And The Brain and as Gadget from Inspector Gadget.

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

Lauren Tom is a really underrated voice actor. I always forget she also voices Minh and Connie on King of the Hill.

[@sv916gtv7]

Phil Hartman was supposed to voice Zapp Brannigan but sadly passed away

[@Sparrow420]

A 2 year old video about Futurama and only 14.5K views? Are you familiar with the ancient robot saying.. "does not compute"?

[@arvidp.247]

I love this show and this cast so much. If you've never listened to the DVD commentaries witht he whole crew, you should. It's so much fun and insightful. Just too bad Katey Sagal never takes part in things like this.

[@leowatley]

best. show. ever.

[@dannythomas417]

Too bad my favorite trio of Katey Sagal(Leela), Tress MacNeille(Munda) and David Herman(Morris) weren’t there. Now I’ll admit that I’m obsessed with their voices, but they’re personal heroes too.

[@fancyhat6505]

"I APOLOGISE FOR NOTHING!!!!"-Hedonismbot. Words to live by right there

[@paulabantojimenez5999]

Thanks for the futurama fan base😊

[@jontedeakin1986]

oh my god, Phil Hartman as Zap Brannigan would have been the best shit ever. rip legend

[@gabrielmendivil5]

1:30 I like Maurice LaMarche’s Voices

[@snakeeyes2551]

I can actually imitate 6 of his character voices such as Kif Kroker, Lrrr, Morbo, Hedonismbot, Clamps, and Hyper-Chicken.

[@madisonmelvin8817]

FUTURAMA THIS YEAR LETS GOOOO BOIZZZZZ!!!!!

[@ohhgeez865]

uhh where's John DiMaggio?

[@LippyWitch]

omg the beltch lmfao

[@videodon]

YES. 😀

[@RossKroft96]

Now the biting makes sense

[@billkendrick1]

The new season is great so far. Also, Maurice's throat echo chamber voice can be heard in Destructor on Futurama and I'm pretty sure "Satoshi, the eater of souls" on The Critic

[@SeanDriscoll-t9k]

Billy West Voiced Philip J. Fry, Zoidberg, Professor Farnsworth And Zapp Brannigan.

[@tysonruck9588]

I wish they did more Futurama. Maybe an hour long special.

[@dannythomas417]

Eight years too late.

[@alexmartinez5859]

GOOD NEWS EVERYONE!

[@TheAyeAye1]

It was really smart Sci-Fi.

[@jamieleepurdy1280]

The episode that always makes me cry is fry having the chance to be reunited with his best friend and he chooses against it

[@patrickjanantes171]

When i saw futurama at fortnite, i wonder what is this show about. I got suprise that disney stream it to their website. I got obsesse watching from the first episode and i like the show very much.

[@danialhowe9814]

personally i think futerama could have run much longer - it wasnt getting stale... simpsons however... cant recall the last time seeing it

[@seanwelch71]

I loved it from "Archduke Chocula".

[@TheRealSephiroth]

Im actually watching the entire dvd set, im on "Anthology of interest part 2" just got past the pac man gag.

[@philliphernandez2649]

3:00 RIP Phil Hartman 😥

[@mrdjchasm]

Please! More futurama.

[@Resimaster]

I can't believe Hermes Conrad and Vamp from Metal Gear Solid 2 are voiced by the same guy.

[@revy1063]

Was and is THE best show

[@nobod2567]

Im triggered because John DiMaggio ain't here

[@whiteandnerdytuba]

Bring it back Netflix

[@Skrenja]

Netflix would ruin it somehow, I just know it.

[@bernlin2000]

Utterly brilliant show. Could have easily been a derivative of the Simpsons (much as American Dad is a clear clone of Family Guy) but Futurama forged its own path. Legendary!

[@UserHasDied]

Phil Hartman would’ve been so good as Zap

[@Ruben-hi1ec]

and now there's new futurama dropping

[@cheeseplease4186]

Futurama is better than The Simpsons

[@Blues.Fusion]

How about a prehistoric version called Pastorama.

[@Jamesssssssssssssss]

I can hear Fry in Billy voice.

[@camrsr5463]

4:47 That sound is tough to produce. smokers beware.

[@KairuHakubi]

interesting to hear Leela and Amy had kind of a Troi-Tasha Yar thing where they realized the actresses were better if they swapped aspects of their characters

[@BonJoviBeatlesLedZep]

Oh bingeable certainly is how it was in 2018, but ever since Disney+ started putting out The Mandalorian week to week in late 2019, it's been shifting back to week-by-week. The biggest holdout has been Netflix.

[@tling321]

6:19 i don't remember seeing this scene

[@chrisoliver3642]

It's from minute 16 of S05E02, Jurassic Bark.

[@thatGuywhocared]

Little did they know...THEY'D BE BACK!!

[@jamieleepurdy1280]

Oh wow knowing zapp Brannigan would of been voiced by the legend phill Hartman saddens me , they could of easily done a jokingly cross over episode of the Troy McClure and zapp

[@TheHominidShow]

Hardly mention of Katey Sagal, Tress MacNeille or David Herman and most shockingly of all... what? ONE reference to John DiMaggio??? What is this???

[@outlawedmedia4336]

Why is Katie segal never in these interviews?

[@DoctorVadarWho]

I wish in Futurama the dog came back

[@d0ct0rhu11]

Phil:Exept the Fox executives. How often they threw shade at them in the show
