I love Futurama and the Simpsons, but as a complete series I definately consider Futurama better. The Simpsons isn't the same anymore. Too long has Matt Groening let the integrity of the Simpsons go to shit all for the sake of more money; bad seasons aside there's virtually no product out there that hasn't been endorsed or branded by the Simpsons. Solid interview by the way, Billy West is awesome!
I would want to ask if the characters where his creations or if the character outlines are created by writers of the show. What amount of influence does he have over the characters he plays...
You looked bored as shit while interviewing him. Instead of looking at your shoes, why don't you turn around in your chair a bit and show a genuine interest, or at least pretend to.
@hippojuicefilm Well said. I'll admit that I've seen better interviews. But they were from people who make a very big salary for it. I've seen much worse ones from the same kind of people as well. The interview was fine, very casual and laid back. If I were Billy I probably would have felt relaxed instead of uncomfortable.
@hobbes993 Relax superfan! Why so overprotective and hyper critical? This was uploaded for your enjoyment. If you didn't like it, move on. It was generous of him to share this regardless of your opinion. Just think if people like him didn't post these videos your internet time would be cut in half. More time for D&D then I suppose.
Amazing...I've watched Futurama since the beginning and never knew the names or faces to the voices. Except for Katey Sagal...I love her voice , so velvety smooth and sexy. This guy is like the Seth McFarlane of Futurama. Branigan does sound just like Troy McClure. I'm loving the new Futurama ...best animated series right now IMO.
When i met him in london, i asked him to do roger klotz and doug funnie's voices and he did ! . Billy is a very nice guy, and sooo funny !. I'd love to meet him again. Unfortunately, he has only been to the U.K once so far : ( .
@PixelBrainMush the show has kidn of a different vibe than before, kinda like when they brought back family guy after it was cancelled. but atleast futurama is still funny they ruined family guy with the constant flashbacks and random jokes. katey sagal is doing leela slightly different, but i think its actually the writers fault
I remember only 4 seasons too, but apparently at some later point in time they were sort of divided up further still into 5 seasons. I guess to create more cash?
maybe now they are but the the four season were released as five separate seasons at some stage in the past. Probably a decision made by Fox when it had low ratings. That *is* the reason why people are a little confused about the number of seasons.
I guess Groening and Cohen told Fox to fix it when they started getting some sales from the new films.
But I agree since they split up the films into episodes it makes sense to refer to them as season 5. I definitely prefer it this way. ;)
Two episodes of the brand new Futurama Season, Season 6 have been leaked and I have uploaded some clips of them and a link to watch them online for free. Please go to my profile and check it out, I love the new episodes and I'm sure you will. :)
Love Billy West. The man is brilliant. Interesting comments about regular actors and VOs. Katey Sagal is great as Leela; I wonder what Billy thinks of her.
I wonder if billy and john [bender] have tried to record/ imitate each others voices and actually broadcast a show with it. Afterall; Phil Lamar [Hermes] spoke in Dwight Conrads voice whem Bumper Robinson was not available.
billy is awesome of the futurama commentaries. He always makes me laugh especially the one does his gay voice on the gay guy and ghost story on the bend her episode
yers. youre right. you have to give the founders and writers credit too. i hope to animate for these guys some day. geez, theyre the lords of animation. you know they use pixel shading? geniuses.
I'm kind of glad phil didn't do brannigan. Actually, watching him do the voices is like watching mike judge to beavis and butthead. It's so much different from what you associate the voice with that it almost feels like a dub over.
He actually sort of looks like the professor when he does his voice haha
