Summary: Futurama Vol. 2
Review: Unappreciated genius by Matt Groening. This is truly a great show and for those of you who have never seen an episode of Futurama, forget your reservations and buy this and Vol.1. You won't be dissapointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Does this set have the "play all" function?
Review: Supposedly, the Simpsons season 3 has it

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Where is the "play all" option?
Review: Season 2 is far funnier than season 1, plus you have more episodes to enjoy. My only complaint is that most new releases (including season 3 of The Simpsons) has a "play all" option so you don't have to keep hitting back/back/next/next buttons to start playing the next episode. Please include this on Season 3!

Summary: The simpsons got upgraded.
Review: Futurama is a lot of things, but to resume, its great. A must see. Only the episodes are worth the dvds, the extras are well.. extras. If you were suddenly freezed for a thousand years and woke up suddenly and see that you are in the future, how would things go? Well, Futurama starts like that, and shows a futurure that is incredibly funny and wierd, and has a lot of things in common with the past. And great funny characters that are developed during the series. Too bad the series are cancelled but at least its great from start to "finish".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Futurama: better than the simpsons
Review: there is no doubt in my mind that this is better than the bulk of the simpsons library. no show has been more original, so far out, while being such a satire of the modern day. it will make you laugh, and possibly cry if u cry after youve laughed too hard.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Even better than the first set!
Review: Not to shortchange the first dvd set;it was great!But this set has even funnier episodes and more extras.I think one of the cooler extras was showing one of the episodes "Why Must I Be A Crustacain In Love?" in original pencil drawn frames.It was also funny to hear Bender speak in Italian on the over seas footage extra.

The four dvd set itself looks great and plays wonderfully.Also the opening menu selections have been improved from their first installment and look impressive.Some of the greatest laughs can be had on the included episodes, "How Hermes Reinquesitoned His Groove Back","Bender Gets Made" and of course "Problems With Popplers";The end scene of that episode with the hippie and the alien is hilarious!

Really there are no bad episodes at all.I didn't care too much for the "Cyrogenic Woman" one though,with the whole "celebrity guest appearance" of Pauley Shore.I think Futurama is funny enough without the help of hollywood blowhards appearing as disembodied heads. But Matt G created an amazingly funny show that FOX took advantage of.Anyone who loves,animation,sci-fi,Matt's work or just laughing out loud,should go out and buy this right now!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: "Bodies are for hookers and fat people"
Review: From the the creator of The Simpsons, Matt Groening, expect another hillarious tv show in the making. Frozen for 1,000 years is not what Phillip J. Fry expected. Later he becomes friends with a robot, Bender, and a one-eyed alien Leela. One of the funniest shows I've seen. Worth buying.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: For Heaven's sake, WATCH THIS!
Review: It's too late to save the funniest TV show in years from cancellation, but it's not too late to fall in love with it on DVD. This is the second season of the sci-fi comedy show about a bumbling delivery boy accidentally frozen, waking up in the year 3000. The writing is sharp and clever, the voice actors are great, the animation is beautiful.

This set has plenty of goodies to justify a purchase for those of you (like myself) who love DVD for the extras. Tons of deleted scenes, an image gallery, and a hysterical commentary track on each of the 19 episodes. Matt Groening and David X. Coen have great comments, and are joined by several of the writers, directors and voice actors. This peek at the ensemble that collaborated to make this incredible show is a lot of fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Futuristic Fun For The WHOLE Family!
Review: Even better than Season 1! This DVD is just as high in quality as the first DVD, and the episodes are REALLY hilarious. WATCH as Zoidberg wants to mate with a beautiful female Decapodian named Edna. LAUGH as Bender dresses in drag to become his new wrestling persona--The Gender Bender. SING ALONG as the crew sings a parody of
"Santa Claus Is Coming To Town." PICK YOUR NOSE as Fry picks his nose while in handcuffs. Wanna laugh? This is one of the best ways.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Future WAS Here
Review: Imagine yourself in a time warp back to the year 2000, where you are watching a great TV show that takes place in the year 3000. You see, back in 2000 the Fox network still cared a little about quality programming, and Futurama was ascending toward all-time classic status like its sister series, the Simpsons. Forward to 2003, after Fox has already consigned this brilliant show to multiple seasons of scheduling purgatory, finally putting it out of its misery before it could truly achieve the long-term classic status that it deserves more than most of the other shows on television. All this to make room for yet another clump of flimsy reality shows built upon weak ideas and publicity grubbing "real people" who are actually far less realistic than the characters on Futurama.

And the characters are the true strength of Futurama, just like the ensemble cast of the Simpsons. Add to that Futurama's stunning animation, and sharply subversive storylines that use the classic sci-fi method of lampooning real life in the guise of a future society. Fry, Leela, and the relentlessly hysterical Bender were fully developed in the first season and are further solidified here. In this second season, the supporting cast receives star treatment in several episodes. This includes Dr. Zoidberg in "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love," the Professor in "A Clone of My Own," and Hermes in "How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back." Amy is the sole remaining character that still needed a personal showcase by the end of the second season.

Included in this Season Two package is "The Problem with Popplers," the most uproarious episode ever, if only for that hippie-eating scene; and a second round of scene stealing by Zap Brannigan and Kif in "Brannigan Begin Again." The extras in this set aren't much to get excited about, mostly deleted scenes. But thank the Gods that you have these Futurama DVD's in your possession. Watch them instead of whatever crud Fox is showing tonight. [~doomsdayer520~]
