Good news, everyone, the third DVD volume of Futurama is just as funny as ever--irreverent, boundlessly inventive, warmhearted, and chock-full of in-jokes, sight gags, and fleeting references to all manner of pop-culture icons and obscure genre classics. In fact, if the show has a problem, it's that it's all so lovingly crafted that scarcely a frame goes by without something both funny and clever going on: when a horse wins a race by a quantum fraction, Prof. Farnsworth fulminates, "You changed the result by observing it!" Recurring minor characters (Elzar the chef, the robot mafia, the mutants in the sewers) pop up unexpectedly throughout, providing another wink to dedicated fans; like Red Dwarf, this is a show that loves the genre it sets out to spoof. Shame, then, that the show has had a troubled broadcast history and never quite found the mainstream appeal of its stablemate The Simpsons. Fry and the Planet Express team find themselves stranded on a planet of unfeasibly large women ("Amazon Women in the Mood"), standing in for psychotic Robo-Santa ("A Tale of Two Santas", with John Goodman reprising his evil robot), and variously falling in love with each other and sundry other humans, aliens, man-bots, fem-bots, virtual reality constructs, and even the Planet Express ship itself. Futurama, Vol. 3 comprises 22 episodes on four discs. As with previous DVD sets, the animated menus are a treat, and there's a selection of bonus features including deleted scenes, storyboards, commentaries on every episode, animatics, "How to draw" tips, and more. Sheer heaven. --Mark Walker

Every single episode of this show was classic. What a shame that this show didn't out-live the non-funny Simpsons. My Futurama collection is my best video collection posession besides Invader Zim. Best episodes in this volume are Parasites Lost and I Dated a Robot. Enjoy. =]

The dvd's set is great, it has a lot of extras and very silly pictures on all the dvd's and behind them. The show is very clever and funny, its episodes all have great stories which advance the relationship of all it's charaters. Worth watching over and over!

I'm sad this show is cancelled, but luckily it's funny enough to watch over and over and it never loses its humor. Of course, this can be said for all 4 boxed sets, and movies.. not just the third. Buy it.. before it's too late.

The 3rd installment/volume of Futurama is as good or better than all the rest. I won't go into each and every episode - quite a few have already done so (better than I ever could). What I will offer is an opinion on the series itself. It's essentially the Seinfeld of animated series. Most, if not all, episodes have infinite longevity. From Fry's endless obsession with Leela to Bender's constant black humor. Zoidberg's self-deprecating humor matched with Farnsworth's constant 2nd place finishes. Amy's pseudo-naivete paired against Kiff's subtle bumblings. Santa-Bot's paradoxical ravings infecting the drunken, whimsical elves (like something out of a Tim Burton "nightmare"). Hermes' steady, Jamaican, taskmaster personality controlling each situation with effectiveness. This series has infinite influences to numerous to fully capture - so I'll stop trying. Futurama has a devoted fan-following for countless reasons. Just watch it - you'll be hooked.

Fast delivery (it was supposed to be a 2 day delivery, but it was at my office the next morning! And I ordered it late in the afternoon!)
