why bender not joining? busy schedule or they couldn't afford him? my bet is they're replacing him with blek
He got lowballed by Hulu. With enough pressure, I'm sure they'll raise his pay, unless he's being the unreasonable one.
One of my favorite shows of all time but I'm not sure how I feel about it coming back. The ending was just about as perfect as a sitcom can get. Seems weird to come back now. I don't doubt there will be a Bender but the voice is probably going to be a little different...which sucks.

**** yes. Hoping for healthy doses of Zapp Branigan as well. The closest thing we have to Phil Hartman
