 freaking...junk November 22, 2008

As i understand i have to use my freedom of speech very carefully on this site i say from all junk i forced to watch on mainstream TV this one
deserve one full star.
In animation for year 3000 I expected imagination will fly; instead all show is designed for kids. And I had been told same guy created "The Simpsons" which sits even lower on my list.
 Pleasantly surprised October 4, 2008

I had never seen more than 10 seconds of "Futurama" beyond a casual walk-by the TV, but my friend remarked how much he missed the series, so I bought him every episode for his birthday. Enjoying it with him, I've discovered that the cartoon is inspired hilarity. While "The Simpsons" seems to be stretching the envelope for ever-novel storylines, "Futurama" was created as a stretch, and is more sophisticated for an adult audience, without being tasteless. I'm eager to see every episode in the series.
Why 5 Seasons? - lemme tell ya September 20, 2008

Futurama Rocks - nuff 'said.
The reason why some sights list Futurama is this:
Futurama ended as a series a few years back (completing 4 seasons). A couple years ago, they decided to release a few movies straight to DVD. As of now, 2 have been released and a third is set to come out soon.
There are plans to break these movies up into 'episodes,' and air them as Season 5. They will most likely go to Comedy Central, and there is talk that extra material will be added in order to make it seem more like a TV show than watching a quarter of a movie.
However, I wouldn't count on seeing the re-release as episodes (especially if they add new material) anytime soon, as not all of the movies are even released yet. So, all in all, this represents all of Futurama except for the movies - so just buy this and add the movies to your collection as they are released.
 Too pricey for a full set with no worthy bonus features... July 10, 2008
This is an outstanding series, but at an incomprehensible price. It comes with no bonus items like the Family Guy party pack (which was $60 on a Gold Box Deal, BTW...for those that missed it...and has 18 DVDS...five seasons plus the Stewie Griffin Story, Ping Pong gear, a Stewie DVD case, cards, poker chips, and a frickin' sweet box).
Go to your friendly neighborhood Walmart (among other retail outlets), and you can find each volume of Futurama priced at approximately $20. This series is not a rarity (in fact, I've got a good third of it on my DVR). Amazon was selling each volume for $18 a while back, which I'm assuming was to celebrate the release of Beast with a Billion Backs. That's about what each volume is worth. I wouldn't pay more than $24 for it. Trust me...it'll be around for a long, long time.
I'd say not to purchase this now. Wait until it's a Gold Box Deal with both movies included for the not so low, but acceptable price of $80.
Brilliant But Cancelled May 29, 2008
So for those that have never seen Futurama, or only an episode or two, you are missing out on one of the most amazingly brilliant television shows ever made. It is too bad that Fox screwed them over like they have done to almost any good show they have produced.
Check out the show, especially the third and fourth volume. Some of the best television ever written are in those volumes, like the last episode of the series as well as emmy-award winning episodes. "Luck of the Fryish" is quite possibly the single best half-hour you will ever spend watching a tv.
Although, I recommend buying each separately because it is actually cheaper that way. Most stores carry these editions for about 20 bucks each, which in the end is 20 bucks cheaper than this set.

3 CHEERS FOR SHAAK Ti
Shaak it is the most favoritable jedi between qui-gon jinn and Yoda, well in my opinion. Shaak ti has brought us so many things, and techincally started the rebellion. Shaak ti's death was neccesary for Ghent Starkiller to influence the rebellion. Shaak
