Futurama, Vol. 8
Product ID: 1490505
Attention, easily brainwashed citizens of Earth! You are now under the control of FUTURAMA(TM) Volume 8 -- the highly animated sci-fi comedy from The Simpsons(TM) creator Matt Groening. Packed with mind-altering, brain-exploding extras not shown on TV, this outrageous collection includes 13 mesmerizing episodes featuring maniac street racers, robot grave robbers, and nerve-wracking nose transplants. You'll watch...you'll laugh... you'll obey. The Hypnotoad commands it! Review: A sad but brilliant end (yet again). - The final half of the final season of Futurama doesn't disappoint (save for the fact its the last). The packaging, like the other volumes, is a great design. The artwork and color is a nice addition to the dvd shelf, the only problem is the cover art is so good it beckons a Full Display. Which, lets face it, is an awesome problem to have. The episodes are brilliant, the commentary is the full flung fun its always been full of nerdy facts, technical tidbits and insight into a lot of the writing and voice work. For the fourth time, I own the entire dvd collection of Futurama. A weird notion. Speaking of, the Series Finale 'Meanwhile', as it currently stands, is among the better episodes and is certainly on par with the previous (at the time written) Series Finales; The Devils Hands Are Idle Playthings, Into the Wild Green Yonder and Overclockwise. A bitter sweet addition to the collection to be sure but considering the talent everyone behind this show has, the potential for further stories and its past reluctance to stay dead I'm sure that in the not-so-distant future I will be again buying new volumes of Futurama Review: The final frontier - This is the final episodes of Futurama, at least for now. While the crew would like to do more, and the fans would love to see more, I am not really certain that the show can be picked up again. A shame, really, if you ask me. So more on topic, this is the final season of the show, showcasing some of the brilliance that made the show worth watching in its finals hours. The final episode ended in a touching manner that I really respected and thought was a nice way to end the series... on a moment that was both happy and sad. If you are new to the series, you can jump in with this volume and not be lost, but you would be missing out to not see other episodes, and the movies. If you are a series vet, you know what to expect and this volume gives plenty of it. The end of a respectable series... Quite worth a rent, Netflix, Stream, whatever. Buy it to add, or start, a collection of the series.

The final frontier
This is the final episodes of Futurama, at least for now. While the crew would like to do more, and the fans would love to see more, I am not really certain that the show can be picked up again. A shame, really, if you ask me. So more on topic, this is the final season of the show, showcasing some of the brilliance that made the show worth watching in its finals hours.

Too bad its the end
I always found Futurama to be one of the funnest programs to watch, the hidden jokes were the best, referrals to past Tv and Movies made it so. Well written with out resorting to low-brow humor. Even the jokes written in alien writing hidden in signs that had to be translated to read, just because some one got bored. However this is the age of simplicity and no one wants to think to hard or has the attention span to think out side of the electronic box. So a special note to the staff and writers who entertained us for awhile. Thanks for all the fish.

So sad this is the end
Love Futurama. Love Love Love. Can't say enough good things about this show. Volume 8 - the last season of the show - was probably the weakest season over all. the last episode, however, was a very satisfying ending to a great series. Let's face it.....if you're a fan like me, you have to have this volume to complete your collection. Although I can't say that the season is the best one, or that any of these episodes are likely to become favourites, they were still enjoyable and I'm still sad to see the end of the season. Doubtless I'll watch these episodes over and over again

Awesome show!
I wish that they would renew Futurama again, it was a great show and this was an awesome way to end the run. Item arrived quickly and in great shape. Only downside is the fact that the disks are in cardboard sleeves and can get scratched when removing or putting back in the sleeve.

Thank you, Futurama Team!
Yet another wonderful season of Futurama. Since the first episode I saw in early 1999, I was hooked. This show was always entertaining, smart, funny, and unique. I hope this is not the end of it, but if so, all things must come to an end. This season had some wonderful easter eggs, excellent writing, entertaining commentaries, and lots of one liners that would make you laugh until your sides hurt. Get this season! The entertainment value alone is top notch.

All Glory to Hypnotoad.
The only complaint I really have about this is the packaging. If you're not careful with removing the discs from it, you could scratch or damage them. However I am one of these people who is very careful with my movies and it wasn't a problem for me, I am just mentioning this so that other buyers are aware. On a different note, this volume probably has the best graphics of all of them, when it comes to the neon-colored Hypnotoad. All glory to Hypnotoad. This is the last of the show's volumes so of course any Futurama fan is going to want it to see how it all turns out.
