Summary: FUTURAMA WAS REALLY A HYSTERICALLY FUNNY SHOW.
Review: At age 57, I can tell you folks that Futurama was really a funny show. I loved it. FOX drove me nuts -- by pre-empting it & various other weird stuff they did -- I missed a lot of episodes. (Because it was on so early, I often was in the kitchen -- but if they actually decided to show it, I usually had it on tape.) Anyhoo, I'm glad they didn't waste a lot of time putting it out on DVD.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: GREAT SHOW
Review: Futurama is a really cool and funny show and any one that's a fan of almost any Fox cartoon show will like this. There are a few Easter eggs (secrets) in this DVD set. I don't know what they are yet but I'll have to buy it to find out.

Summary: SIMPLY THE BEST AMERICAN TELEVISION CARTOON EVER
Review: It goes without saying that FUTURAMA was the greatest cartoon television cartoons ever produced. It is more hip and far more witty than the corporate produced The Simpsons. The vulgar South Park. The uninspired Family Guy or the bland suburban King of the Hill. I live in Europe and have watched Season 1-4 on DVD at least five times. The show just has classic pop culture parody appeal. The only weakness of the show was the tendency to focus on obvious parody (the cameos by the original Star Trek cast) rather than the subtle implied campy Sci-Fi humor that made the show great. The last season hads it's extremely weak moments which make me realize why the show was cancelled such as the "ROUTE OF ALL EVIL". There is a sequence in that episode featuring a paper delivey route that is just idiotic. Other than that the show is hilarious and any fan needs the complete set.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: great
Review: it's a shame this show got canceled because it is superior to the simpsons in almost every way. while the simpsons is funny, it is hasn't changed at all and is way too politically correct. the story in futurama actually evolves and it managed to be an interesting show throughout it's run. one main reason for this is because there are so many more different characters, places, and situations in the 31st century.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fox: The Home of Promiscuous Idiots
Review: Perhaps in the future, as the worlds of internet and television draw closer together and niche-marketing defines more and more of the world's media output, it will be time for shows like Futurama. Shows with radical premises like "Maybe not every show must appeal to everyone. Maybe not every show must be understandable by 4-year-olds, fans of hip-hop, and residents of Red States. Maybe soft-pedal, sly jokes and middle-brow cultural references are funnier than sex comedy."

But that time is not now.
