Some fo the antics the group get upto is mad, Bender is an alcohol drinking, cigar smoking, money making theif, who is forever getting into trouble, and is always taking Fru down with him, Fry isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer, and Leila is forever trying to get them all out of trouble!!!
I must admit I like the Simpsons much more than Futurama, but it is a good watch and the storylines are normally pretty funny! ;-)
Advantages: Funny/Collectable Set Disadvantages: PG & 12 ratings/ availability
In 1997, Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, had an idea in his head for a new animated seriesset in a futuristic Year 3000. It wasn't until a couple of years later that he got together with Fox Entertainment to thrash out a deal. The deal was sucessful and in March 1999, 19 million US viewers watched the pilot show of Futurama.
The Emmy award winning series was and is loved by millions and Season 4 of Futurama has been completed. Each season has been released in BoxSet format but in October 2004, Fox released a Special Edition Set of all 4 seasons in one set.
My 12 year old son, being the lover of Futurama that he is, received this set for Christmas. Having now watched all of these, I decided to try my first ever DVD review so please bear with me!
I will state now that this set contains 15 DVD's and therefore I ...
Advantages: Very funny, very well-made, really good voices Disadvantages: Shame it got cancelled, shame there arent more deleted scenes
the Harlem Globetrotters the Porfesser engeineers mutant basketball player aged with temperal somethings- but this causes time to move forward, Fry and Leela end up getting married without realising why
Where no fan has gone before- Futurama meets Star Trek, with the original cast (GEORGE TAKEI!!)
All of series4- the best series but dont get confused, when they aired it they split into two. Its the most emotional series, fry and leela get closer, also the funniest and the last episode has the robot devil and yet more singing
The set comes in a smart box with all 15 dvds in individual boxes but divided by series. Its well presented and put together. On the back of each dvd it tells you which episodes are on it and a brief synopsis. Their are cast and crew commentaries and interviews (Ive only listened to series4 but they are very funny ...

He also befriends Leela, a beautiful one-eyed mutant alien, and Bender, a robot with a substance abuse problem.
