Rating: - Excellent collection
The show Futurama is superbly funny and in most cases, extremely tasteful as well. I have unending praise for the show and with the unfortunately limited number of seasons that were produced, they never had a bad one. I heartily recommend this set, which represents the entire collection of Futurama episodes. You will not regret watching them over and over. They're worth every penny.
Rating: - Hazaa!!
From the brain of Matt Groening, creator of "The Simpsons," and David X. Cohen (who also did time on "The Simpsons"), comes "Futurama." Making it's debut in January of 1999 and capping off in the spring of 2003, the show was consistent from beginning to end. Unlike it's infamous big-brother in "The Simpsons," "Futurama" had it's feet firmly on the ground from the start; from the animation to the character development, it seems as though everything that occurs throughout the four-season course of the series was planned from the beginning (and as you'll find out, in some instances, it's the truth). Unfortunately, despite it's abundance in both intelligence and heart, it met an untimely end. Much like "Family Guy," which arrived at the same time, this show has thankfully found it's audience on DVD, and is also facing a resurrection in the near future. But for now, these four seasons are all we have.
"Futurama" begins with the story of Philip J. Fry (Billy West), a lowly pizza-delivery boy in the 20th Century who is more than down on his luck. His job stinks, his girlfriend may or may not be cheating on him, and he apparently finds himself victim to phony pizza orders very often. However, his life changes on New Years 2000, when a delivery to I.C. Weiner lands him at a cryogenic lab. Due to a freak accident, he is trapped inside one of the cryo-chambers, where he remains for the next 1,000 years, only to awake to the bizarre inhabiatants of the year 3000, such as a one-eyed cyclops named ...

Rating: - On par with Simpsons, Family Guy, etc.
Right off the bat, I want to mention that Futurama often runs on the Cartoon Network's Adult Swim, so you can catch a lot of episodes there. But if you want to watch the entire series from start to finish and get some of the commentary, I highly recommend picking up all four sets, especially since prices have started to come down on each of the 4 seasons.
I personally think Futurama is funnier than the Simpsons or at least as funny as the Simpsons were in their prime. The problem for Futurama is that many of its jokes are random and are infused with a basic layer of science/math humor, which is not altogether surprising given its science fiction setting. Like the initial run of Family Guy, I think viewers did not buy into the randomness and certain inside-joke feel of Futurama. But the more you watch and pay attention to the episodes, the better you'll pick up on the nuances.
In any case, the characters are flat out ridiculous and hilarious, Bender and Professor Farnsworth being my personal favorites. I suspect that each character represents a portion of Matt Groening's own personality as they are all wildly different from each other. Fry's basically your Homer-type for Futurama but I think Bender steals every episode with his wise-cracking.
Again, if you don't pay attention, you might miss the nuances behind each joke. A lot of things might not even make sense, so I definitely think this series is not for everyone. But if you like a little sci-fi ... Read More
Rating: - The Best series since the Simpson's! lol
I like them all! I know now there's now going to be Season 5-6 in 2007-08..Nice!-But we won't see them probably on Dvd till late 2007 and late 2008-Bummer..Wow that means 2009.darn..Still I'd recommend this series to adults only!..And its not racist like The BoonDocks either..Its just funny! Like Greg The Bunny lol.etc..And The Simpsons..Mixed with South Park..
Rating: - worth every cent
If you're at all a fan of futurama, the 4 box sex is a must own.
I was skeptical at first, since it is a kind of expensive set, as of now i've only made it through the first two seasons (been watching an episode or two most nights before goin to bed), and i gotta say, this is one of the most clever cartoons ever made.
forget the price, it's well worth it. buy the set. give the guys who made it some money, because they deserve it.
