Futurama: Complete Seasons 1 - 4 [DVD]

A box set? Are you mad? Well, if there is any box set that you should but make it this one. Not least because there are no plans to make an extension to the collection. Futurama was deemed unpopular in the USA - the reasons for which must be partly the same as those that make it so funny and poignant to those people who watch it from the UK.Okay, so the Simpsons holds its cult followers, being able to cross cultures and even language. But Futurama appeals to both those people who just want 'stupid' humour and those who want some intellect slipped in with it.Each character could have a book written about them and you find out much more about these individuals in a short space of time than you could hope for in the Simpsons, in fact I believe them to be far deeper and that probably serves to deepen their appeal.Its got comedy moments for all the family, I have sat down with a three year old and watched an entire series back to back. But ive also sat at work with a dude, who would hate me referring to him as 'old' right now, quoting phrases and laughing in bursts at favourite sketches and memories of each series.Its also one of those rare specimens that actually has the ability to thrown in a few new bits each time you watch it.My favourite? When they are superheroes and running about to their theme song. You will see!

I like the show and the characters.Price reasonable.

I'm not going to write about Futurama itself, since it has been written much about it in previous reviews (if you still want to know more, visit [...] I'd like to comment on this release: complete box of 4 seasons (72 episodes).The package is fine. It includes 15 DVDs divided into four separate boxes (= four seasons). Each DVD has its own plastic box. On each DVD there are several special features (extras) like audio commentary by the creators, deleted scenes or so called animatics (working versions of some episodes). I guess the DVDs are pretty much the same as in releases of single seasons. So if you already own all the seasons, it would be probably useless to buy this box, because you won't get anything new (except for the fine box itself, of course ;)). But if you don't have single seasons, then this box is really worth buying. I must add, that the price on Amazon is more than friendly ;).

Nothing bad to say about Futurama - I love Futurama and the fact that you get 4 seasons for a good price is the 4 stars. The packaging however, is the worst that I've ever handled with any product.It consists of a box with 4 'books' that hold the DVDs, 1 per season. These are supposed to slide into the cover box. After taking the cellophane off initially, it took 10 minutes to get the contents to slide out of the box so I could get the DVDs. It also became impossible to get the back in. The thing became like a Chinese puzzle. These 4 cardboard books were suddenly too wide to fit back into the cover box and after a good half an hour while watching an episode, I managed to slide them all in with some damage to the box. I proceeded to do Fry's Fonzie impression before realising of course, I couldn't get them back out again which ended up with me cutting the cover box down one of the corners.I'm not really bothered to be honest, but it seems ridiculous that I had to do this. I have plenty of TV and film boxsets and none have ever given me so much resistance. Beware....BEWARE..

I ordered this at about 1pm on friday the 26th of november, i opted for supersaver delivery etc. (the no frills option) i expected added to gether all the estimates this would take one or two weeks to come.. when i got up to goto work at 7am on the 27th there was a package at my door, i opened it and was speechless. I ordered it the afternoon of the day before and it arrived on my doorstep in much less than 24 hours and i hadnt opted nor payed for 24 hour delivery, Bravo amazon + delivery company that is THE fastest delivery ive recieved ever. The product? well im an avid futurama fan and felt that i should show my support for bringing back the series by buying the complete collection boxed set. It is a very intelligent comedy and i absolutely love it.

I absolutly love the simpsons, and futurama. I reckon futurama is the best so i ordered the complete boxset for a christmas present, i ordered it on the 27th of november this year(04), well it's now the 17th of december and i have just received an e-mail from amazon saying i should expect to receive my boxset in 4-6 weeks with an expected delivery date of the 31st of January. Because we all know that Jesus actually intended to be born on the 31st of January don't we. so when your all having a lovely christmas please spare a thought for me, i'll be sat in a cold house watching the 'please insert a DVD' screen on my DVD player. Merry Christmas everyone at Amazon, you;ve screwed me over again (and if you don't post this your obviously creating a false image of your awful sevice)

I have been a fan of this show since it first came out and couldn't wait to get it all on dvd! This boxset is a gem its nice and compact so doesn't take up too much space and the box has a cool design with most of the characters on it! My favourite is and always has been dr zoidberg he cracks me up every time! will watch this again and again well worth buying if you like the show

Futurama rocks and I am sure that if this box set had every reached me I would have loved watching my favorite episodes again and again. Unfortunately it never arrived (not sure why) so I had to cancel the order... which reminds me I must go and re-order this. I'm giving it 5 stars because I know all the episodes and they are hysterical and the price was reasonable if it had been fulfilled.
