Summary: Great show from a great creator and director
Review: ok to open this review I would like to personally thank Matt Groening for making such a great show. the dvd is well worth the price. the pilot episode was great and that is saying a lot since airing it was a risk. some of the stand out's in this episode was the suicide booth telling fry and bender that "you are now dead, thank you for using Suicide Booth". the other stand out, laugh out loud funny episode has to be the Slurm episode with all of the Willy Wonka references. all in all this is a great dvd set of a great show. if you like the simpsons you'll love this show.

Summary: Not The Simpsons but just as great
Review: Just because the animation is superficially the same style as the Simpsons does not mean it is another Simpsons.Look more closely at the animation in this show. It comes alive, it's 3D and makes the Simpsons look rather flat in comparison. So why didn't this show ever reach a greater audience? I'd blame it on scheduling. In this boxed set, the first 13 episodes are presented. The show was not gut-bustingly funny at first, but it's a visual feast and the stories are great little outer-space adventures with a fun cast. It's a joy to see them without commercial interruptions and especially fun to be able to slow down scenes to catch all the in-jokes that are being thrown around. This boxed set is definitely worth watching and enjoying many times. And as for me...one of my favorite characters is Professor Farnsworth... watch for his immortal line, "Tell them I hate them!" in the Slurm episode.

Summary: Completely HILARIOUS. More of an adult cartoon.
Review: I have only caught maybe 1 or 2 episodes of Futurama on TV. I never thought much of it. But finding out that Futurama is done my Matt Groening, I HAD to buy this! I love the Simpsons, so I was sure this was right up my alley. I'm completely in love with this series now. There are MANY MANY hilarious moments in each episode. I LOVE it, because the more you pay attention to detail, the funnier it is. I just love watching an episode I've seen before and finding out something new.

Summary: Futurama should have episodes exclusively for DVD
Review: Eliminate those pesky censors from FOX TV and make the show for DVD only. Until I bought the DVD set I was never a fan of the show. Having been on so little I never got the chance to see it. I hope all the fans write to return this show to another network or in a movie. I was thinking since there is a market for DVD why not produce a version for fans of animation? I am sure there is a way this could be done. Bender the robot, Fry and Leela must return!

Summary: Futurama is a Laugharama
Review: I bought this DVD box set because I love the comic brilliance of Matt Groening, and because I have been collecting the Simpsons DVD box sets and was looking for something to keep me from going crazy waiting all the way until August for the Third season to come out. I was so glad that I bought this box set. It looks like other people here have already put show descriptions on, so I will save you all time. Just buy it, watch it, love it, and when the next season comes out on DVD, buy that one too. The characters are a riot, and the different aliens, spaceships, and story lines are wonderful. I love the show because, just like the simpsons, I notice a new joke or detail every time I watch it. Matt did a wonderful job at creating a new world for us to escape to where our best friends are a really stupid 20 something year old, an alcoholic robot, a professor whos mind is starting to go due to age, and a hot chick with one eye. Get into it, it is worth your time and money.

Summary: Great show, but never really took off
Review: Futurama, is a hilarious show set in the year 3000, starring Fry, a Pizza delivery boy who accidently got cryogenicaly frozen in the year 2000. It's too bad, because fox never really helped this show at all. It seems like all I can remember is seeing futurama being cut off and skipped because off football games and such. I heard that theres about 20 episodes in the can which never aired mostly because of fox's poor time slot.
So season six is supposed to be all unaired episodes, but I dunno if they will even air those. As for this DVD its great, there's all the episodes of season 1, all of them in there digital glory. Season 2 is my personal favorite season (mostly because it was the longest and had the most memorable episodes), so I'll be looking forward to that as well. Futurama is one of the only shows out there that had a really good first season, essentially because most of the team knew what they were doing from the simpsons, and had prior experience. The show is now on Cartoon Network in sydication,
it would be nice if they aired new episodes but, I suppose that is probably unlikely.

Summary: The Future is here!
Review: This is a must buy for anyone who likes animation and has a sense of humor. The episodes themselves have been transfered perfectly to the dvd format and look amazing. The packaging for the disk set is the best idea I have seen yet. Each disk has it's own thin plastic case, and the 3 case's are stored in a holder, which slides into a different holder. This all allows not only for a safe place for the disc's, but also an opportunity to show a lot of colorfull artwok. The commentaries are good and yes, it would be great if they would of thrown in a little more special features, but for the price, it can't be beat.

Summary: Still laughing!
Review: Unfortunatly for me,I knew very little of Futurama when it was shown on Fox and so I never really got into it.All I knew was that it was created by Matt G,of Simpsons fame,but figured it would not be as good. How wrong I was!I started watching it on Cartoon Network's Adult
Swim,and not only laughed out loud,but was also hooked into the story line.What would happend to Fry,Bender(my favorite!) and the rest of the crew?IMHO,Futurama is ALOT better than the Simpsons and it's a shame it did not catch on.Probabally because of too many people like me who just thought,"eh" in the begining. This DVD set is great to have so I don't have to wait until 10 p.m. to tune into this great show!The voice actors all do a wonderful job;Katy Segal(married w/ children)as Leela,and Phil Lamarr(Samurai Jack/Grim&Evil) as Hermes were my personal favorites.I thought it was great to have the Ren & Stimpy guy( sorry I can't remeber his name!)voice the lead character Fry. John Dimaggo as Bender goes without saying! This DVD set is alot of fun and well worth the price.I look forward to the season 2 set coming out,...

Summary: Futurama is awesome!
Review: Futurama is the funniest thing since the Simpsons, and it remains funny while still being appropriate to people under 21. This is a great buy!!
