Series One - The Future Has Landed!
Review of Futurama - Series 1 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by BlueMidget

Advantages: The start of a great comedy
Disadvantages: Short-cut options disabled, no 'Play All'

Futurama is the brainchild of Simpsons' creator Matt Groening. With the help of David X. Cohen, (also of the Simpsons') the main aim was to create a science-fiction based, (though not science-fiction reliant) cartoon for adults, though this is much more children-friendly than the likes of "proper" adult shows such as 'South Park'. Sadly, the show only ran for four series before being dropped by Fox, but here is where it all began. 'Futurama' follows ... Read review

Even better than The Simpsons
Review of Futurama - Series 1 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by CaptainDisaster

Advantages: Great animation, extremely funny, good characters, two wonderful episodes, no bad episodes
Disadvantages: Fewer episodes than the later seasons, bonus material not very imaginative

...who brought us The Simpsons, Futurama is an animated sci-fi comedy series which is overall far better than its better-known cousin. The reason for this is that while The Simpsons could be mind-numbingly funny, satirical, and surreal, the quality of the episodes carried wildly and some were just a waste of time. I've so far seen the entire first 3 seasons of Futurama, and couple of later episodes, and have yet to be disappointed by any of them. I ... Read review

Back To The Futurama
Review of Futurama - Series 1 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by T-Boy67

Advantages: So Funny
Disadvantages: There aren't the normal 26 Episodes in a usual US TV Series.

FUTURAMA Season 1 3 Disc DVD Set Created by Matt Groening (The Simpsons) and a worthy entry in the continued high quality world of more adult animation. This is the 1st DVD box-set of the show. Characters Fry Race: Human Job Delivery Boy Ex Job: Delivery Boy Quote: "It's like I always say..." Generally he will go on to say something that he's never said before.

Slurm. It's highly addictive!
Review of Futurama - Series 1 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by fryera2

Advantages: Hilarious animation from the makers of the Simpsons
Disadvantages: None

Futurama is a series that I admit it took me a little while to get into. At first it seemed slightly geeky and full of technology related jokes. As I watched more episodes however, it grew on me very quickly and I now rate it more highly that even the Simpsons. I wish it hadn’t been cancelled after only four series because with the amount of available material at the disposal of the writers this show could have gone on indefinitely and not become ...

Review of Futurama - Series 1 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by m.kerby

Advantages: Funny, Funny TV Show
Disadvantages: -

The Series has landed: Futurama, from the creators of the Simpsons, crashes onto our screens and it is a breath of fresh air and you could not be disappointed if you like the Simpsons, this is great. As soon as I watched the first episode I knew I would love this show. Futurama follows the journey of one Phillip J Fry from the year 2000, he has a dead-end job, his girlfriend has dumped him and he just doesn't fit in. So when he falls into a ... Read review

Fun in the year 3000
Review of Futurama - Series 1 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by Tony_edwards1

Advantages: Great Series, Plenty of Extras
Disadvantages: Not the best Packaging, only on Region 2

futurama is an often overlooked cartoon masterminded by the creator of the simpsons, matt groening. it tells the story of a pizza delivery boy thrust into the 30th century, where he joins a package delivery company run by his distant relative - who's slightly insane. these 3 dvds carry 13 episodes, 3 of which were shown in the second series, as well as animatics and concept artwork. the transfer is excellent, with sharp lines and good, vibrant ...

space the final frontier
Review of Futurama - Series 1 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by Sparky0001

Advantages: comedy genius from the people that brought you the simpsons (and I don't mean fox!)
Disadvantages: not enough episodes!!!

...that really swings me with futurama is the audio commentary, after many viewings of the episodes I decided to watch them with comentary (hey I'm a geek when it comes to animated shows!) Matt is hilarious, David X. Cohen is hilarious, in short, the entire cast are amazingly funny in their own right. so, to summarise, I'm pretty sure I've ranted enough, and that most of it made no sense, but these DVD's will make you laugh until you pee... then they'll ...

Advantages: Really funny and crazy.
Disadvantages: None.

...time round. I really think that Futurama is a really fab show with a lot of laughs and crazy adventures all the way through. It is packed with a lot of really funny characters from all over the galaxy. What first attracted me to Futurama was the fact that it was another creation of Matt Greoning(if I spelled it right) the creator of The Simpsons. I also am a big fan of them too. So, the op...

Review of Futurama - Series 1 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by YOY9111

Advantages: It's much better than the simpsons
Disadvantages: none

ok futurama is 10 no 1million times better than the simpsons i like the simpsons but futurama is better i think because its set in the future and its completely crazy because if you think about it in the 19th centuary they would think that our lifestyle is crazy. The date is 1999 and its the eve of 2000. The movie starts out with a pizza delivery boy called fry delivering a pizza to a prank call. when fry arrives at the place he realizes that it ...

Excellent show for sci-fi fans and not only...
Review of Futurama - Series 1 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by Vicster1784

Advantages: Absolutely hilarious, great loveable characters, great blend of 2D and 3D animation
Disadvantages: Some elements are too "sci-fi" for a regular viewer

...show. When I heard about Futurama I wasn’t too excited to watch it. However, being the movie and TV fan that I am, I decided to give it a shot. From the very first episode it captured me and turned me into one of its biggest fans. The characters are extremely funny and even though it is set in a futuristic sci-fi world it deals with a lot of down-to-earth issues that appeal to the general audience. The story in a nutshell is about a pizza delivery ... Read review
