Katey Sagal and Billy West on the return of Futurama

Futurama has gone through more frustrating cancellations than a United Airlines flight leaving Chicago's O'Hare Airport. No one knows that better than voice actor Billy West and actress Katey Sagal who respectively provide the voice, heart and soul of the show's two main characters, Fry and Leela.

But what has kept the show going is the camaraderie of the cast and crew. Everyone from the show still keep in touch in between other jobs and even have the occasional reunion from their regular crowded visits at ComicCon to smaller get togethers like when Katey said the cast got together to watch her last concert at the MBar in Hollywood.

Most of all, they said they have the fans to thank for their next big reunion when Futurama goes back into production. They both took a short time out of their busy schedules to chat about Comedy Central's two season order.

Thanks pokerfan.

Good shows deserve to last.

if only 'Firefly' was as lucky.

And Katey,

:yourock:

I can't wait! Futurama is one of my all-time favorite shows. It will be great to see the new episodes whenever they come out (probably not until sometime next year).

just hearing her voice makes me melt...

:loveya:

now maybe someone will come up with a cure for my Boneitis...

that I have Boneitis...

...although my favorite role of hers to date is from the "King of the Hill" episode "The Bluegrass Is Always Greener" (season 6, episode 9) where Hank takes violinist Connie to Branson MO with the idea of grooming her to be a professional bluegrass musician, until she finally yells:

"No! No more rosin, no more of your "see the fiddle, be the fiddle" rhetoric. I don't want to be a professional bluegrass musician. I quit."

One of the best K.O.T.H. episodes EVER, and in case I didn't mention it earlier, I love Lauren.
