Was Kureha the character that people were hoping Jamie Lee Curtis would play or something?

Anyway, Katey Sagal is an awesome character actor, so this will go well.

i would have prefered Jamie Lee Curtis but i guess i'm willing to give her a chance.

heck now that i think about it, i think i prefer their route of going with lesser known actors who have potential. we don't need to see the same familiar faces all the time after all... lol

Do you consider Katey Sagal to be a lesser known actress, or were you speaking generally in regard to the cast?

I really don't understand people who's only criteria for this is what they look like. Surely their ability to nail the fundamental nature of the character is more or less the only thing that matters here?

Like sure, kureha's meme quality is that she's a weirdly creepy-sexy old lady. But her actual function in the plot is that she is a maternal figure to chopper. She's grumpy and irritable and has a heart of gold. That's it.

Yep. And I'm glad they didn't to be honest. Would be really fucking stupid of netflix to blow the entire budget casting a minor side character for the sake of an internet meme.

Well, she's a big fan of the series which is why people wanted her to be cast

She's actually the younger sister to the double mint twins from the gum commercials.

The double mint twins were once so popular that they had their own sitcom before Katey called "Double Trouble". It aired on NBC. When "Married with Children" first aired, that was the number one thing that was brought up in interviews.

I think Curtis was too busy. She wanted to do it, the crew wanted her, fans wanted her. Sometimes these things don't work out.

Anyway Matey Sagal is great so she will do a good job. Even if I never pictured Kureha sounding like Leela.

And the similarity between Harelik and Hiruluk is funny.

Hope to see the casting for Vivi, Robin and Chopper soon.

^I think it really depends on how old you are

If you were watching evening TV during any part of Married With Children's (fairly long) original run, then you're probably more likely to associate her with that than Futurama. As mentioned earlier, she also featured prominently in Sons of Anarchy, but neither her character nor the series have had the "cultural impact" of her previous major roles, though it did start much later than them so perhaps younger adults know her more from that regardless.
