No more good news, everyone--this fourth volume of Futurama is the show's last. By turns frenetic and far-sighted, Matt Groening's futuristic comedy provided belly-laughs for self-confessed sci-fi nerds, but somehow failed to connect with a broader audience, even though it was often funnier and sharper than stablemate The Simpsons. So now bid farewell to the Planet Express team--Fry, Leela, Zoidberg, Bender, Amy, Hermes, Prof Farnsworth--as well as to kindly Kif, cloned Cubert, megalomaniac Mom, mutants in the sewer, the cast of robo-sitcom All My Circuits, swashbuckling space lothario and William Shatner wannabe Zapp Brannigan, Elzar the four-armed chef, and all the other characters that made Futurama such a unique experience.

GREAT SHOW

Futurama is a really cool and funny show and any one that's a fan of almost any Fox cartoon show will like this. There are a few Easter eggs (secrets) in this DVD set. I don't know what they are yet but I'll have to buy it to find out.

SIMPLY THE BEST AMERICAN TELEVISION CARTOON EVER

It goes without saying that FUTURAMA was the greatest cartoon television cartoons ever produced. It is more hip and far more witty than the corporate produced The Simpsons. The vulgar South Park. The uninspired Family Guy or the bland suburban King of the Hill. I live in Europe and have watched Season 1-4 on DVD at least five times. The show just has classic pop culture parody appeal. The only weakness of the show was the tendency to focus on obvious parody (the cameos by the original Star Trek cast) rather than the subtle implied campy Sci-Fi humor that made the show great. The last season hads it's extremely weak moments which make me realize why the show was cancelled such as the "ROUTE OF ALL EVIL". There is a sequence in that episode featuring a paper delivey route that is just idiotic. Other than that the show is hilarious and any fan needs the complete set.

great

it's a shame this show got canceled because it is superior to the simpsons in almost every way. while the simpsons is funny, it is hasn't changed at all and is way too politically correct. the story in futurama actually evolves and it managed to be an interesting show throughout it's run. one main reason for this is because there are so many more different characters, places, and situations in the 31st century.
