Product Details

Product Description

From Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars "The Best Season of the Show", Feb 2 2008
By Tommy Morais (New Brunswick, Canada) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Futurama's third season is often considered to be the best season of the show and i agree as it is my favourite season as well.It is also the most uneven season as it sometimes is a great episode following a good episode and then an ok episode,sometimes it has a streak of great episode and its just never even,that kind of thing(Season 2 was an even season with all the episodes being great).But overral this one has proven to have the best episodes of the series and some the strangiest and most hillarious ones as well.In this season the Planet Express crew encouter amazon womens,Santa's return,they go back in time and many more exciting adventures.This season probably has the most Bender episodes as Bender becomes a penguin,a god,a chef,a pharaoh,a bank robber,a folk singer and more.The third season also has the record of most episodes during a season with 22.What i'm saying is that you can't possibly go wrong with this one.

The epsiodes in this season much like in each season are great and this season managed to score many fan-favourite episodes."Amazon Women In The Mood" is one of the funniest as the Planet Express crew find themsleves on a planet full of amazons,amazons are giant womens and they torture mens with what they call snoo-snoo(imagine the "we want snoo-snoo!" and all that with their big voices),wich is sex,death by snoo-snoo is funny.One of my favourites is "Luck Of The Fryish" when we discover what happened in the past after Fry went to the future.It turns out his brother stole his identity and something else that bringed luck to Fry(won'tell you what it is!).Another favourite is "Bendin' In The Wind" in wich Bender broke his body and is now useless,until Beck recruits him to play in his band and they go on tour,that was a memorable episode."Anothology Of Interrest II" is the follow to an episode in season 2.Proffesor Farnsworth's invention the "what if..." machine predicts what Bender would be like as a human,Fry discovers what would happen if life was more like a game and Leela is involved in the story of "The Wizard Of Oz"."Roswell That Ends Well" has the crew going to the past in 1947 in order to prevent something terrible from happening and it turns out to be hilarious."30% Iron Chef" sees Bender trying to be a chef and after falling flat he takes lessons with a master chef and challenges Elzar on his show.In "GodFellas" Bender is lost somewhere in the universe and life grows on Bender,the habitants proclaim Bender is their God!This season features plenty of Bender episodes so his fans will be quite satisfied with this season!Now i won't go trought each episode but i just talked about a couple episodes that i felt were either great or important.

Here is the list of episodes of Futurama's third season:


1-Amazon Women In The Mood
2-Parasites Lost
3-A Tale Of Two Santas
4-The Luck Of The Fryish
5-Bird Bot Of Ice-Catraz
6-Bendless Love
7-The Day the Earth Stood Stupid
8-Thats Lobstertainment
9-The Cyberhouse Rules
10-Where The Buggalo Roam
11-Insane In The Mainframe
12-The Route Of All Evil
13-Bendin'In The Wind
14-Time Keeps On Slipping
15-I Dated A Robot
16-A Leela Of Her Own
17-A Pharaoh To Remember
18-Anthology Of Interest II
19-Roswell That Ends Well
20-Godfellas
21-Future Stock
22-30% Iron Chef

As for the extras on the set there isn't a lot but you have commentaries on each episodes,animatics,storyboards,how to draw characters tips and deleted scenes from many episodes and you also get commentaries from Fry and Bender on the episode "A Pharaoh To Remember" wich is nice to have.There isn't much more than there is on the other sets.The episodes themselves are enough i beleve but is always nice to have some extras.I would have liked something more but i've seen worse before.If you are a fan of these kinds of television shows like The Simpsons and animated comedyin general,then you should grab this as it is some of the best animated comedy shows made.It would be a smart move to add this to your collection.If you liked any other seasons of the show you should like this one as much and i predict you will like this one even more!Highly recommende as these are some of the greatest moments of this remarkable series.To me this is a must have and five stars well-erned.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Tough Review, Jun 29 2004
By Beamer (Duke University) - See all my reviews
I loved Futurama. It's cancellation was likely one of the few I actually cared about.

This review is a tough one, though. On one hand Futurama hit some peaks in this season. Some of the episodes match anything The Simpsons could through at them, notably the award winning Roswell That Ends Well. Other stellar episodes include Fry becoming intelligent via parasites, a sentimental Fry learning how his brother dealt with his diesappearance, and the superior intellect of the Harlem Globetrotters.

There are some downers, though. Another Zoidberg episode showcases why he's hysterical for one liners yet not outstanding to wrap an episode around. The same with Bender - though I tend to find him the funniest character, and some of the Bender episodes are classics, here we have some that show why Bender is often funniest as an addition to a scene rather than the scene as a whole.

Overall you'll laugh very hard at this series, as long as you're a fan of the brand of humor found in shows such as The Simpsons, Malcom in the Middle and News Radio. Contrary to many opinions you needn't be a Sci-Fi fan (I loathe the stuff myself), you simply need a working knowledge of pop culture. This season falls flat at times, and lacks the overall consistency of the prior seasons (yet is more consistent than Season 4), but has peaks higher than all the prior seasons.

Worth owning and watching repeatedly. Remember to watch those commentaries, too, they tend to be a bit crazy and very rewarding.
