Futurama is an excellent show with wonderful characters, exciting stories and hilarious jokes! If you like sci-fi, you'll love this show. Not only funny, but very clever...lots of "in jokes", especially making fun of other science fiction characters and ideas. Of course, buying any DVD season set is a great idea. All episodes are perfect quality, no commercials, and all in their correct running order. Really, it is the only way to watch these shows. I am spoiled now, and dislike watching regular TV and prefer to get the DVD set. As for the DVD set itself...it is awesome! EVERY episode has a full length audio commentary by various members of the writing staff, producers, and voice talent. They tells you secrets of the episodes, funny stories and just goof around. I watch the DVDs for the commentaries as much for the shows themselves! Also, you get other extras such as storyboards for various episodes, how to draw the characters, jokes in the menu screens, etc. If this is the first DVD boxset you have ever bought (like me) you will be spoiled. The DVDs of other shows are lacking terribly compared to all the bonuses you get in this one.Read full review
On New Year's Eve, 1999, Fry, a delivery boy, deliver's a pizza to one I.C. Wiener at a Chrygenics lab. An "accident" sends him into a chryogenic chamber. One thousand years later Fry wakes up to a very different world. Christmas is terrorized by a robot and called Xmas. "Ask" has been replaced by "axe" and Al Gore is the Emporer of the Moon. I would just like to say that Futurama is better than Family Guy in the sense that Family Guy uses a lot of offensive, adult humor (which I laugh at a lot). Yet they end up like a 6 year old kid running around saying **bleep** cute and funny at first, but it gets annoying quickly. Futurama uses the same humor but sparingly enough that it becomes funnier. I would also like to say be careful in purchasing DVDs on ebay, especially anime. There are many *bleep*s out there that sell bootleg copies. I am too inexperienced to give advice to this, but if you go to the reviews and guidelines section of ebay and type anime or bootleg you will find a number of good guides on bootleggers and their products.Read full review
I LOVE THIS SEASON OF FUTURAMA. IT SEEMED LIKE THE CREATORS WERE FINALLY GETTING INTO THE GROOVE OF THE CHARACTORS AND REALLY CAME UP WITH SOME GREAT IDEAS FOR SHOWS. MY FAVORITE WAS THE EPISODE THAT PERODIED STEVEN KING'S "CHRISTINE", AND MY SECOND FAVORITE WAS THE PERODY OF "MASH"!! IT IS INTELIGENTLLY WRITTEN, SUPERBLY DRAWN, AND APPEALS TO ALL KINDS OF PEOPLE. NOT EVERYBODY WHO WOULD WATCH THIS IS A "DORK" THEY JUST LIKE FUTURISTIC COMEDY!! ONE OF THE MOST UNDERAPPRECIATED SHOWS EVER ON TV!
this is a big must if you are a futurama fan or a simpsons fan. matt groenings work at his best here. if you like to laugh this is the way to go with futurama. this is about frye and planet express delivery. i had to buy this because it is very funny and my nephew wanted to see this one. lots of extras as well in each of the discs as well as deleted scenes. if you are a fan of the simpsons or matt groening this is a must have.
