The Future Just Keeps Getting Better!
Review of Futurama - Series 2 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by angeelu

Advantages: Funnier than the first series, Plenty of episodes to watch, Sarcastic sense of humour, Can watch the episodes over again.
Disadvantages: Quite pricey if you pay full price, Can't watch each episode consecutively without going through the menus, Alhough good, the special features are not the kind of thing you'll view more than once.

...less familiar with the series, Futurama is a cartoon set in the future. Created by Matt Groening (the creator of The Simpsons), Futurama centres around the fact that one particular character, Philip J Fry (notice the same middle 'name' as Homer?) was accidentally cryogenically frozen on New Year's Eve 1999 when he fell into the freezing unit whilst delivering a pizza. He was awoken 1000 years later in New New York City to find that many things had ... Read review

Anthology Of Interest
Review of Futurama - Series 2 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by BlueMidget

Advantages: Continuing the hilarious futuristic comedy
Disadvantages: No 'Play All' option on the discs

...I think what separates Futurama from similar shows, (more recent episodes of 'The Simpsons', 'Family Guy', etc.) is that there is much more scope for new and off-the-wall ideas which help keep the show from wallowing in its own success and prevent it from becoming too reliant on particular jokes or themes in order to get a laugh. Innovation rather than regurgitation help to keep the show and episodes fresh and entertaining in my opinion. I can't ... Read review

The World of the Future is Back and Just as good!
Review of Futurama - Series 2 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by m.kerby

Advantages: Fantastic - As good as Season 1
Disadvantages: No Play All (not that much of a problem)

A Futurama return with its second series, and it's just as good as the first. Full of laughter, weird and wonderful anecdotes it couldn't have been much better. After the First Acclaimed season Futurama adds another 19 half hour packed episodes. I have already reviewed the First Season so will not go into detail on the specifics of what makes the show but what makes this season so good. The basic story is that Fry (21st century pizza boy who has ... Read review

Painstakingly Drawn Before a Live Audience.
Review of Futurama - Series 2 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by Critchyboy

Advantages: Great Price, great box-set.
Disadvantages: Some extras and episodes are weak.

...for any self-respecting fan of Futurama itself – indispensable entertainment on four shiny discs. Again, some of the extras – as with Season One – are a bit pointless. The Alien alphabet is the most pointless of the lot and the deleted scenes, although funny in places show just why they were deleted. ***PURCHASING INFO*** Available from all high street shops. Available from Amazon priced £28.99 Available from Play.com priced £29.99 Available ... Read review

Even better than the first season!
Review of Futurama - Series 2 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by Vicster1784

Advantages: Clever, witty, great animation
Disadvantages: Not for everyone, sometimes to sci-fi'y

Futurama is an interesting show, because had it been released as Matt Groening’s first show instead of the Simpsons it would have probably got a wider audience. This way people could refer to it as Matt’s first try at animation, which eventually evolved into Simpsons and appreciate it more. Sadly it is the other way around, and I think that is one of the reasons why people haven’t quite warmed up to the. It does have a cult following in way but is ... Read review

Futurama vs. The Simpsons
Review of Futurama - Series 2 - Complete (Animated) (Box Set) by Calpin

Advantages: Extremely funny - in my opinion its better than The Simpsons
Disadvantages: Inappropriate for younger audiences

...episodes over and over again? Futurama wins hands down. It has something that The Simpsons doesn't freedom; The Simpsons has always been constrained by its viewing times and has had to tone down some of its episodes to stay popular. Futuama however, ... There's no 2 ways about it - Futurama is THE best cartoon comedy ever. The only thing The Simpsons has on Futurama is Homer but, then again, The Simpsons don't have Bender OR Fry OR Leela OR Zoidburg ... Read review
