Summary: Another great DVD for a great series
Review: INTRODUCTION:
Well, it took them long enough, but FOX has finally released the third volume of Futurama on DVD. I could go on wasting this review complaining about how long it takes FOX to release DVDs, but I'm going to stick to the product. Read on for my review of this set.

EPISODE INFORMATION:
This DVD set consists of the following episodes:
-Amazon Women in the Mood *
-Bendless Love *
-The Day the Earth Stood Stupid
-That's Lobstertainment!
-Birdbot of Ice-Catraz
-Luck of the Fryrish *
-The Cyber House Rules
-Insane in the Mainframe
-Bendin' in the Wind
-Time Keeps on Slipping
-I Dated a Robot

-Love and Rocket
-Leela's Homeworld
-Where the Buggalo Roam
-A Pharaoh to Remember

-30% Iron Chef
The episodes with asterisks next to them are the ones I feel are the best in the set. ALL of these episodes are excellent, but these ones really stand out.

DVD:
Once again, the DVD is done pretty well. I was hoping they would do away with the outer slipcases like they did on the first two volumes, but they did. Oh well, no complaints. Once again, we get deleted scenes, commentary, and a variety of other extras, which only add to the package's appeal.

OVERALL:
This set is strongly recommended if you're a fan of this series. And if you're NOT a fan of the series, seeing a few of the episodes on this DVD just might change your mind. This was a severely underrated series, and it's a shame it got cancelled (and I can't believe the junk that FOX is still airing!) Buy this set, you WON'T be disappointed.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A series that should continue ...how about a Futurama movie?
Review: The best feature of this set is the play all option. All the episodes on one disc can be played without returning to the main menu. Why didn't they think of this before? The commentary is sometimes better than the episodes. Of all of them the Roswell episode is the best. If Futurama does return in one form or another how about having a series with Captain Zap Branagan? Shatner could be the voice of Zap's father!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Its a Great Buy for Futurama Fans but.....
Review: Leela's Episode where she meets her Family? WHy'd they leave that one out?

Finally Play All feature. That alone is worth it
to me.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Long-Awaited volume 3 is out... and boy is it worth it
Review: The 3rd season of the underated series is out, and it's yet another classic. Although there is a few weak episodes, (That's Lobstertainment, I Dated a Robot, Bendin' in the Wind), most of them are classic. Excellent episodes include A Tale of Two Santas, which was cut from the series at first, the emmy-award winning Roswell that Ends Well, a second "Anthology of Interest," episode that's possibly funnier than the first(especially for a video game freak, like myself), the secret of Nibbler revealed in The Day the Earth Stood Stupid, the touching Luck of the Fryish, and my favorite of the collection, Time Keeps on Slipping. The ending to that one is so sad! Poor Fry just wanted Leela to notice his message.... believe me, when you watch that one, make sure you have some extra tissues(or save them for the next set's episode, Jurassic Bark). I couldn't help but feel horrible for the poor guy. Anyway, this is the best set yet. Hopefully the quality will continue when vol. 4 comes out.

Summary: NOT 1 STAR, NO STARS!!! NO WONDER IT WAS CANCELLED!
Review: I've caught this disaster a few times in it's pointless existence in syndication after Family Guy on the cartoon network. I tried to give it a chance, being a big fan of older Simpsons shows and Family Guy, but the dry sense of humor it's characters constantly belched out was torture and I can't believe people waste their money and time buying these dvds and watching them over and over. I only gave this show a few comments here to warn people about how terrible it is. It's no wonder that they had to settle on Billy West and Peggy Bundy as the main voice 'talent.'I think Matt Groening jinxed himself with the few seasons he made of this show before it was cancelled, because it seems that lately The Simpsons is headed down the same path. I couldn't care less if you disagree with my opinion, or if you don't want to take my word for it, I know what is funny and what is not. Fans of this garbage should be ashamed of themselves, while people with a good sense of humor should know that Family Guy will soon make it's triumphant return to Fox, and Futurama will NOT(Ha Ha). Giggity Giggity Giggity!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Just a comment for the idiot.
Review: I ******* hate little stoopid nerds like cykillrenegade. Don't EVER listen to him or her or that or what the hell cykillrenegade is! They don't have nothing in life so they just complain about everything..that was all...Futurama is GREAT! really funny!buy em! (got them all)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Undeserving Of Cancellation
Review: Futurama is one of the best animated comedies in history, in my opinion. Both smart and stupid people can laugh at it's content. The potent humor mercilessly pounds anyone into hysterical submission until they're overcome with comical joy. At least, that's what it did for me.

A few folks might not be able to appreciate the science fiction-gone-crazy theme, but it doesn't matter to the rest of us because we're too busy enjoying the show.

Volume three continues the series' impeccable quality. Same attention to detail, same incomparable sci-fi comedy. There are new audio quips given by select Futurama characters at the beginning of each chapter menu. They are a nice, amusing touch.

My favorite episode: Anthology of Interest II. I wonder how many viewers understood the "all your base are belong to us" gag.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Good but one problem
Review: First let me say something straight off. I consider Futurama to be one of the funniest and finest cartoons ever made, and a travesty that it was canceled. However the problem with this that made me give it three stars is that there are problems with the animations. Sometimes people's arms while skip around without pausing, so its not the DVDs. This seems to have never happened in the other seasons.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: BRING BACK FUTURAMA
Review: I guess fox executives thought that this show was too cutting-edge, or slightly too futuristic, so they canceled it! I say buy the DVD, show the world that this was a great series by helping matt groening buy another 200 foot yacht. Buy all the seasons and then write Fox a letter about how the Simpsons needed 4 seasons to really get off the ground, so give futurama another chance.
