Katey Segal, huh? That's a big name, I remember her from 8 Simple Rules on ABC, which also starred the late John Ritter.

Two years of trying to get Jaime Lee Curtis for the role and it still didn't happen. Katy Sagal still feels like a good choice though.

I read another article about this, they were in contact with her but there were too many scheduling conflicts with other projects she had already signed up for.

I knew about the scheduling issues with the new Freaky Friday, but this is a pretty good get for the production as well. Legit Golden Globe winner.

Well, if we can't have Jamie Lee Curtis, getting Leela is pretty dang good too.

She was hysterical as Peggy in Married with Children.

Katey Sagal did an awesome job voicing Leela in Futurama, so I think she should be able to pull of a pretty good Kureha.

Feels super weird for anyone to say “Katey Sagal from …” and not say Married with Children. How popular was Seven Rules? I never watched it.

Me seeing no Jamie:Nooooooooooooooooo-
Me seeing Katey Sagal while still screaming:-oooo oh......oh......I'm intrigued this could also work.

Leela I can get if no one's watched Married With Children or sitcoms in general but to me she'll always be Peg Bundy

8 Simple Rules was a pretty popular show when it first premiered, but its popularity started to wane once its original lead star John Ritter (best known as Jack Tripper in Three's Company) died of an aerobic dissection.

Bummer about no Jamie Lee Curtis, but I can't fault casting Katey Sagal.

Sure that wasn’t supposed to be aortic dissection?

Wait, I thought Jamie Lee Curtis was going to play Kureha? I'm sure she mentioned before the TV show was even announced that she wanted to play her. She certainly looks like her.
