Futurama - Volumes 1-3 Reviews
Great TV, Canceled by Fools
Futurama is everything that The Simpsons was at its peak and more. It takes a bit to get into the characters and as with the Simpsons character development was a bit spotty at first, but by the middle of the 2nd season they have really hit stride.
The 1,000 years in the future setting really lets the writers and animators cut lose with their ideas. A humanoid lobster that has many different larval stages of which we get to see them all in the matter of a few seconds, cross-dressing robots, the wonders never cease.
Any fan of The Simpsons would be well served to pick up the Futurama DVDs. Like the best Simpsons episodes, many of these Futurama episodes deserve repeated viewing.

Well, whoever canceled "Futurama" certainly was.
I am a devout fan; I was hooked from the first epsiode and own all four seasons on DVD, among other Futurama accoutrements and kitsch. The war in my office wages as to who the top cartoon is: Simpsons, Family Guy, or Futurama. My money is on Futurama. Who can resist a show featuring an unstoppable eating machine (Nibbler,) an unidentifiable creature who claims to be an expert on humans (Dr. Zoidberg) and celebrity heads in jars, including Matt Groening himself?
Adult humor at it's best, Futurama makes many references to things that target a certain age-group. There have been times when yes, my parents have laughed and I haven't, but that in and of itself proves its appeal. Witty, entertaining and delightfully wacky, Fry, Leela, Bender and the rest of the gang are guaranteed to act out, encounter, and become the unlikely.
