Futurama - Volume 1 (2003, DVD)

Futurama is an excellent show with wonderful characters, exciting stories and hilarious jokes! If you like sci-fi, you'll love this show. Not only funny, but very clever...lots of "in jokes", especially making fun of other science fiction characters and ideas.

Of course, buying any DVD season set is a great idea. All episodes are perfect quality, no commercials, and all in their correct running order. Really, it is the only way to watch these shows. I am spoiled now, and dislike watching regular TV and prefer to get the DVD set.

As for the DVD set itself...it is awesome! EVERY episode has a full length audio commentary by various members of the writing staff, producers, and voice talent. They tells you secrets of the episodes, funny stories and just goof around. I watch the DVDs for the commentaries as much for the shows themselves!
Also, you get other extras such as storyboards for various episodes, how to draw the characters, jokes in the menu screens, etc.

If this is the first DVD boxset you have ever bought (like me) you will be spoiled. The DVDs of other shows are lacking terribly compared to all the bonuses you get in this one.

futurama is great to enjoy. intelligent humor on a cartoon level. volume 1 is a gateway drug though, you need the rest of the seasons, and the 2 movies to complete your fix

They took this off the air in my area. It is one of my favorite series. I plan to collect the whole series.

if you are a simpson fan then futurama would be for you. this comes from the same creator as the simpsons and i loved the show. very funny stuff here. too bad its no longer on the air waves. i had to buy this one because its very funny and because my nephew has never seen the show. now he loves the show. this is a big must to get if you are a fan of the simpsons this would be great in the collection and great to watch as well.

one of the greatest cartoons ever made, lots of humor for adults and kids alike. adult cartoon lovers can always be amused with raunchy and topical humor from the whole cast of characters.

I love Futurama! Recommended for Everyone, Great Movies! I like Futurama better than the Simpsons. It is Awesome!

I love Futurama because I like sci-fi shows.I dislike the prices of the DVD's.Its hard to get a low price.I decided to buy it because it was a good deal and I just love Futurama.

Part of this case was missing but the dvds all worked perfectly so no worries mates! I would recommend seller and buy again myself. Thanks- Peace

I bought this video for my girlfriend for valentines day. She loves Futurama and ebay has great prices. I love the service provided by ebay and the quality of the product I received. This DVD was like brand new and I have watched the whold DVD.

Audience is directed towards adults and it shows in the content and context of the writing. I think it is ok for mid-teens to watch this show(dvd)... Parents.... pre-teens and younger is at your disgression. Watch ever episode first, then decide.

I bought this to add to my sons collection of "Futurama" for Christmas. This was one of several of the set that I bought to complete the set. He absolutedly loves the set and now Jan 7th has already told me that he is almost finished viewing the complete set, lol! I guess this is for the older teen and up because my son is 24 and this was what he requested :) So it is for different ages.

Futurama is (was) Matt Groening's cartoon series that ran for only a few years, unlike his epic "Simpsons". Futurama is just as funny, clever and well drawn, with plenty of cultural references as well as unique creations (its own alien alphabet, for example) It was probably not as successful as The Simpsons because it references a small section of our culture (science fiction), but it still contains all of the iconic elements of Matt Groening's humor.
I, or rather, my wife, purchased it for me as a birthday gift so that I could always see some of my favorite episodes and share them with my kids. Like many other television series that have fallen by the wayside, Futurama has many elements that will still be able to be enjoyed many years after the current "hits" are also relegated to the scrapbin. It is a classic cartoon and, in my opinion, should be enjoyed as such.
Thanks to Matt and his talented staff of actors, writers and cartoonists for bringing such work into the world. I will always treasure it.

I love the show! having the seasons rock, allowing me to watch my favorite show anytime! My only qualm about the dvd is that after each and every episode you have to go back to the main menu and select the next episode. There is no "show all" or "play all" option. So its not really a big deal, more an inconvience, if anything...and my showing my laziness. hehe

On New Year's Eve, 1999, Fry, a delivery boy, deliver's a pizza to one I.C. Wiener at a Chrygenics lab. An "accident" sends him into a chryogenic chamber. One thousand years later Fry wakes up to a very different world. Christmas is terrorized by a robot and called Xmas. "Ask" has been replaced by "axe" and Al Gore is the Emporer of the Moon.

I would just like to say that Futurama is better than Family Guy in the sense that Family Guy uses a lot of offensive, adult humor (which I laugh at a lot). Yet they end up like a 6 year old kid running around saying **bleep** cute and funny at first, but it gets annoying quickly. Futurama uses the same humor but sparingly enough that it becomes funnier.

I would also like to say be careful in purchasing DVDs on ebay, especially anime. There are many *bleep*s out there that sell bootleg copies. I am too inexperienced to give advice to this, but if you go to the reviews and guidelines section of ebay and type anime or bootleg you will find a number of good guides on bootleggers and their products.

Take A Chance On This!

I met Matt Groening at the San Diego Comic Con, and attended a few programs where he discussed this show and also The Simpsons.

I saw every episode of this DVD on TV when it first came out, and it was funny and entertaining too!

This is the right format to collect the show in, a shame it ended after only four seasons!

Collect them all !!

Michael

Thank you so much for this DVD it now completes my collection. you are a good seller it was in perfect condition.

This is the one of the funniest television shows I have ever seen. It picks up right where the Simpsons single-digit seasons left off.

Season one of Futurama was amazing. Most shows of it's kind start off a little sloppy with animation and voices of the characters but since Matt Groening had so much practice with the Simpsons, it looks very professional. The comedy is in no way the same as the Simpsons but you can tell that the same genius mind is at work behind it. Great voices, fantastic stories, and hilarious comedy make this DVD set definitely worth buying.

This has got to be the funniest show on Adult Swim. I watch it every night and just think it is awesome.

If you're the kind of person who gets a laugh out of the Simpsons (whose creator conceived the Futurama series), Family Guy, American Dad, and the like, then Futurama is probably for you. Set in a rather cynical, yet lively version of the future where robots, flying cars, and suicide booths are common-place, Futurama is sure to keep you entertained with its amusing cast, wit, and colorful animation.

Product in excellant shape. I am a big Simpson fan and when the creator of the Simspons launched Futurama I was very excited. Unfortunately it was cancelled in its fourth year, so began to collect the series to have for my own. I watch them when I need cheering up.

This is the must have DVD set for any Futurama lover in all of us. This set includes some of the best episodes like "I, roommate" and the premier episode.

Great humor and nice cartoon graphics. If you are a cartoon fan, get this series close to the humor of family guy. I got this DVD cheaper on ebay then I could have at any retailer.
