Futurama - Season 1-8 [DVD] [1999]

Futurama is a great show, and many people (including myself) enjoy it. However, because of the way it was originally aired in North America, and their airing half of a season, then taking a break and then airing the rest of that same season, it becomes difficult to know what season is what. Well, I'm here to help you with that. Season One consists of thirteen episodes. Season Two consists of nineteen episodes. Season Three consists of twenty-two episodes. Season Four consists of eighteen episodes. Season Five is completely missing from the box set ... as that whole season was released as a series of four feature-length movies, specifically: Bender's Big Score, The Beast with a Billion Backs, Bender's Game, and Into the Wild Green Yonder. Season Six consists of twenty-six episodes. Season Seven consists of twenty-six episodes. The box set claims to contain seasons one through eight, but this is incorrect as explained here as season eight is missing from the box due not to any fraud, but because of the way the American network's numbered the episodes as listed here.

I suspect most people who buy this set will be those who know and love the series already. That's not me! I bought this set based on a recommendation for the series, not having seen a single episode before. I did however know and like The Simpsons and was pleased to find it had things in common in terms of style. I've not watched all the episodes as yet, but of those I've seen I've found them funny and clever. I particularly like the way bits of science/sci-fi references are casually dropped in. As for the box, yes: it was a little difficult get the tab of the outer box open the first time. Once the plastic inner case was revealed there was no further problem. This is a brilliant series and at less than 40p/episode is really good value.

Seems to be a lot of people who managed to pick this up for £15, so I'm a little gutted to have paid £25. Not too gutted though, as the content is superb. I already have the time first 4 series boxset, so was more than happy to find the extra 4 series. Sadly, the set is missing the Alieneese decoder sheet from the first series, but as with everything in life, there's an app for that. Edit; After seeing similar items online, I feel as though I've been sold a second hand product and been charged the price of a new product. I've since seen this product in several other retailers contained withing a cardboard box, that did not come with my purchase. The lack of the cardboard surround is not a problem for me, as I'm not a collector, but it's very annoying to be charged full price for what is a second hand product, and any collector buying an incomplete item would be very annoyed.

I absolutely adore Futurama and have watched it since 1999, but it can't get a straight up 5/5 simply because some of the later seasons are very poor indeed. Certain episodes in seasons 5, 6, and 7 demand nothing but hitting the skip button. Conversely, as fans well know, season 1-4 are fantastic, with many legendary episodes which are noted for exceptional scripts and radical sci-fi ideas. However, season 8 gets things back on track with many great episodes, steadying things out and providing a strong end to a largely brilliant series. For fans, a must buy! Everything in one DVD case? Yep!

This series is interesting I have watched clips and a couple of episodes and wanted to have the whole box series dvds its a good price and well worth it.

The Futurama series has found itself stuck in the shadow of its sister program, The Simpsons, for over 15 years and finally gets its own chance to shine. Every season is packed with exceptional animation, vivid imagination and incredible writing. The spectacle of Futurama has not aged, and the work of the production team could never be praised enough. The show is filled with incredible details and subtle humour, with plenty of belly-laugh inducing moments throughout. The endearing characters and masterfully crafted universe(s) they inhabit are a joy to watch, and reaching the end was a moment of sadness, followed by a quick change back to Season 1's first disk, and the story begins again. The box comes with every season split across several discs, with each disc in turn containing menus to view episodes individually, or in groups of approximately 5 per disc. The special features are enormous, and afford a great deal of information into the production of the series in general. The Futurama enthusiast has a lot to look forward to, and the Futurama newcomer has a great deal to catch up on with the acquisition of this treasure trove of tomorrow's comedy.

Great series and good to get them all in one boxed set

livraison rapide, bon état, tout ok.

Die DVD Futurama Seasons war ein Geschenk an unseren Enkel, es war genau das Richtige und er hat sich sehr darüber gefreut. ><

Absolutely satisfied with this Series as Future a was my favorite adult type tv show cartoon ..I looked forward to the next show on tv back when...but now I can do it just as I did then but at my leisure and pace..anyone need to bigen watch them assassinate New Jersey , presidents or past celebrities ? Then this will be your cup of tea ...

「The Complete Series Seasons」とありますが、映画版（Season 5)が含まれていません。「Bender's big score」はストーリー的に重要なのに('；ω；`)ｳｩｩ あとSeason1-4は別のコレクションボックスのCDだけ取り出したもので、機能的にもデザイン的にちょっと残念な感じです。 でも日本語こそないものの、名作アニメがこの値段で見られるのは本当にうれしいです。Matt Groeningさんの解説も入ってて何度見ても楽しいです！古今東西のSFがちょっとでも好きな方はぜひ一度は見てみてくださいね！ヾ(*'∀｀*)ﾉ
