Futurama: Volumes 1-4 Reviews: Maybe Matt Groening's best work. 2009-11-14 - Amazing series, all in one package. I'm not a huge fan of the movies they've been pumping out, but the TV series was amazing. Great characters, well written, original animation design, and pop-culture references/knocks that are a much more subtle than many other series. In my top 5 animated series of all time.
Futurama is pure gold.. or titanium! 2009-10-28 - This box set is awesome! It has all the seasons aired at FOX from 1999 to 2003 before the cancellation. I was lucky to grab the seasons for less than $43 with the Amazon deal of the day, and it peaked to $50 with International shipping. This is great for the true Futurama fans out there.
[ FEATURES ]
It has a lot of features and extras, animatics, commentaries, 3d models, storyboards, deleted scenes and neat easter eggs. Audio in English, Spanish (Latin America[*1]) and French. Subtitles in English, Spanish and French.
[*1] = The dubbing that is used in all Latin America but not in Spain, that has other dubbing actors.
[ COVERS ]
The seasons boxes are a little different than the original ones, because they use now slim dvd cases, making the seasons thinner. The cardboard cover of each season has the back with the description of the season glued permanently to the cover, so you can't see the original art of the back of each season. This is because the season covers have holes or are semi-transparent (Season 4) to match the internal holder of the individual DVD cases.
The individual cases are made of transparent plastic, and have the inlay info in the back of the cover, and they look very neat. The cover of each DVD disc has an scene, and when you release the disc you'll see the next scene that the disc was covering, many with funny situations!.
I believe that the DVD disc covers are also different, but I'm not sure because I've not owned the original seasons sets that appeared first
[ SHIPPING ]
About the shipping, the 1st package didn't arrive internationally to Quito, Ecuador. I waited 45 days and then contacted Amazon with my problem, and they kindly sent me another package, and this one arrived very quickly, so that's a plus for a international customer =). I've never received the original package, but Amazon said that if it appears, i should return it to them or donate it.

In other thoughts, you could also get the Futurama: The Complete Collection that costs $117,99, that has also the 4 DVD movies with not cases, but the Bender Head case, very awesome. The cons of that is that since that Futurama is back again at Comedy Central in 2010 with 26 new episodes, the complete collection is now not complete. The DVD disc covers are also not so cool like the ones of the individual seasons and movies.
One of my favorite cartoons 2009-10-04 - This cartoon is so well written, honestly. If a cartoon can make you cry right after your eyes watered from laughter, then some thought went into it. Now I like the dumb cartoons too, but if you need an example of a hilarious and then heart breaking episode - Jurrasic Bark. If more seasons ever come out, I'd buy in a heartbeat.
Futurama is a rich and rewarding show 2009-09-23 - Full of laughs, Futurama is often written off as just another Groening cartoon, but Futurama pushes the genre to a completely new level. For me personally this is the best show on TV (now that it has been renewed!). There is something in there for everyone.
Futurama mania 2009-09-14 - I love to watch series. And I LOVE Futurama. Why do they cancelled it!!??.
I think buying all the seasons is the best way to watch a serie because you don't miss even one episode and if you like it, is like a non-ending movie. Plus you don't have to find two hours in your day to see it. it only takes 25-40 minutes.
And on top of all this, Amazon makes some AMAZING "Today's Deals". I bought it (the 4 seasons) at $42.99!!
I recommend you keep an eye on Today's Deals, you won't believe some of the special offers they release.
