Good
news everyone! All 13 episodes of the first season of Futurama
are now available in this box set.
While
not quite as anarchic as Matt Groening's more famous animated
show, The Simpsons, Futurama is still pretty
darned funny. Being a sci-fi spoof, this series has a more
focused agenda than the present-day exploits of the denizens
of Springfield, and its cast of recurring characters is not
as broad (at least, not yet), but then The Simpsons
has had more than ten years to establish itself.
This
three disc set is nothing short of wonderful. well packaged,
well designed and well thought out, each disc offers up hours
of entertainment of the highest quality.
Okay,
hype over, what's it really like? Well, fantastic actually.
The episodes look great and sound superb and extras really
do add that little something extra to the adventures of Fry,
Bender and Leela. And while the show has not been the success
of its twin The Simpsons, it's just as good in its own way.
My
only real gripe is the price. When this set materialises in
the US expect a retail price of around $30 - that's a shade
over £20 in real money - half what we're going to have to
pay.
