Product Description

From Amazon.com

Set in the year 3000, Futurama is the acme of sci-fi animated sitcom from Simpsons creator Matt Groening. While not as universally popular as The Simpsons, Futurama is equally hip and hilarious, thanks to its zippy lateral-thinking contemporary pop cultural references, celebrity appearances (Pamela Anderson and Leonard Nimoy are among a number of guest stars to appear as disembodied heads in jars), and Bender, a distinctly Homer Simpson-esque robot. Part of Futurama's charm is that with decades of sci-fi junk behind us, we've effectively been living with the distant future for years and can now have fun with it. Hence, the series stylishly jumbles motifs ranging from Lost in Space-style kitsch to the grim dystopia of Blade Runner. It also bridges the gap between the impossible dreams of your average science fiction fan and the slobbish reality of their comic reading, TV-watching existence. Groening himself distinguishes his two series thus: "The Simpsons is fictional. Futurama is real."

The opening season (premiered in 1999) sees nerdy pizza delivery boy Fry transferred to the 31st century in a cryogenic mishap. There, he meets the beautiful, one-eyed Leela (voiced by Married with Children's Katey Sagal) and the incorrigible alcoholic robot Bender. The three of them join Fry's great (great, great, etc.) nephew Professor Farnsworth and work in his intergalactic delivery service. Hyper-real yet strangely recognizable situations ensue--Fry discovers he's a billionaire thanks to 1,000 years' accrued interest, Leela must fend off the attentions of Captain Kirk-like Lothario Zapp Brannigan, and Fry accidentally drinks the ruler of a strange planet of liquid beings. --David Stubbs



Un essentiel Amazon.fr

Futurama, c'est un peu Les Simpson dans l'espace, avec un robot en lieu et place d'Homer. Pas étonnant puisque les deux séries ont un seul et même père, le génial et... quelque peu perturbé Matt Groening. Ici, le jeune Fry, livreur de pizza de son état, est propulsé au 3e millénaire à la suite d'un malencontreux accident de cryogénisation. Après une seconde et demie de profond désespoir, il entrevoit avec bonheur une vie nouvelle et se retrouve.. livreur chez Planetexpress, sous les ordres de Leela, femme cyclope mais gentille quand même. Ajoutons à cela Bender, robot alcoolique, Pamela Anderson dans un bocal, le retour du Titanic, une bonne dose d'humour décalé, et l'on retrouve tout l'esprit qui a fait le succès des Simpson sans jamais avoir l'impression d'en voir une resucée. Une nouvelle réussite incontestable de Matt Groening, qui se fend ici pour chaque épisode d'un commentaire audio, accompagné du producteur et des réalisateurs de la série. Un bonus appréciable, tout comme les story-boards et scènes inédites présents sur ces DVD. --Pierre Boeldieu

4.0 out of 5 stars A must own for fans, Aug 22 2006
By Tommy Morais (Canada,New Brunswick) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Futurama was made by matt groening who also made the simpsons so it has to be funny and it did.the set contains 3 discs ,13 episodes ans deleted scenes ,and lots of laffs.the show is a cool prediction of the future even if it wont be the future you can imagine it being the future because nobody saw it.the first season introduce us to the gang of planet express ,a good begenning for the crew.highlights;the series has landed wich is real funny,i rommate one of my personnal fav of the show,hell is other robots when bender gets sent to hell,the titanic one is great and the special features are good with comentaries on every episode wich many fans like.lowlights;the lack of episodes is pretty much for every first seasons(simpsons 13,family guy 7..anyway there will be a futurama movie next year(good chances at least)the dvd is now prety chaep around 25 bucks so if you like futurama consider buying this set if you dont have it .a must for all fans of the show you cant go wrong with the show s first season.great stars for a great serie!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Start, but..., Jun 29 2004
The other volumes are better. In spite of this, it still remains a smart buy. The Good News: There are four hilarious episodes: "Love Labours Lost in Space," (featuring the best Zapp Brannigan dialogue of all time) "I, Roomate," (with some very funny apartment gags) "A Big Piece of Garbage" (A parody on overdramatic disaster films like Armageddon), and "Fry and the Slurm Factory," (which just feels like a classic). The Bad News: The show starts off a little shakily, many of the secondary characters are underdeveloped, the voices sound different, there are occassional long and awkward sections without humor or wit, and finally, there are only 13 episodes. For me, its easy to see why Futurama did not catch on with popular audiences: the sci-fi theme can be off-putting, and the humor is sometimes over the heads of many people. However, another element that hurt Futurama was that its much anticipated first season was the weakest. The Simpsons also had a weak first season, but there was no crazy anticipation, and it had time to grow and mature without intensive scrutiny. Futurama had too much hype in the beginning to deal with an on and off season, and unfortunately that's just what happened. But don't let that deter you; knowing what you already now (that Futurama becomes a great show), you can cut Volume One little slack, and enjoy everything almost as much as the other volumes. Plus, there are those great episodes that I already mentioned, my favorite of which is "Love Labours," strictly for Brannigan's before/after seduction talk. Overall, not as good as the rest, but still recommended for the fans. Newcomers should start with Volumes Two or Three to see Futurama in full swing.
