If Futurama Followed in Star Treks Footsteps

People like to compare Futurama to Star Trek, so here's something to think about: A few years after the original series was cancelled, there was an animated Star Trek. Would it be unreasonable to assume, that in a few years, there would be a live action Futurama?

Emmm...yes. Because with live--> cartoon, you can use the same voices and stuff. With live action, Futurama characters would need new voices, since the cast are really too old to pull off their roles, and Billy and others play so many characters anyway.

And I wouldn't want a new Fry or Bender, so I'd be annoyed at it. Unless they managed to find just the right actors I guess.

Futurama:The New Doctor Who (give a ....). Bender as the next Doctor uses the TARDIS to move through time to steal stuff and make deals.

It surely was 'less the plot' and it was less cool...ahem...kewl!

Now I've got stuck in my head, Sean Connery saying "bite my shiny metal ass" !

Including Gene Roddenberry, who made it clear that, except for the one episode where Spock went back in time to his childhood, the cartoon series is not to be treated as part of the show's "official timeline".

Too bad he's dead, so he can't do the same thing with that last ST film...

Maybe he could also be given power over George Lucas, so he can do it to the last two Star Wars movies too.

..and the last ST series...

Oy! Listen to Howard's latest shpiel!

Couldn't be worse than ST:VOY.

I resent that. Voyager's my favourite ST series!
