Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
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.
This fourth and final year has all the elements that fans enjoyed so much--but also those elements that partially explain its cancellation. Recurring characters are great if you've watched the show before, as are the in-jokes; and the many parodies of classic science fiction are fine for the initiated, but risk leaving other viewers out in the cold. The show's strengths and perceived weaknesses are exemplified in the episode "Where No Fan Has Gone Before," in which the original cast of Star Trek play themselves: hilarious for Trekkers, but not really for anyone else. Elsewhere we find Leela discovering her real parents aren't aliens at all but in fact live in the sewers; Kif getting pregnant; Fry discovering the fossilized remains of his faithful pet dog; and Bender being converted to steam power. Despite some ups and downs, it's still the funniest animated TV show. Multifarious DVD extras include cast and crew commentaries, deleted scenes, animatics, galleries and Easter eggs. --Mark Walker

Every single episode of this show was classic. What a shame that this show didn't out-live the non-funny Simpsons. My Futurama collection is my best video collection posession besides Invader Zim. Best episodes in this volume are Jurassic Bark, Crimes of the Hot, The Why of Fry and The Devil's Hands... Enjoy. =]

Since anyone considering purchasing this box set will already be familiar with the series, I'll skip the summarizing of the contents. This set collects all of season 4's episodes into one nice little package & does it well. My only gripe is that the plastic sleeve on the box dents & scratches easily & is very visible, unfortunately. While the idea behind it is great, I wish that the designers had made the sleeve a little more durable.

Volume 4 is, as most of those reading the review, the end of the Fox television run of Groening's television series (see the drawing similarities to the Simpsons), and unfortunately the series was cut down in its prime. Almost all the episodes stand the test of repeat viewing. Fun, fun sci-fi humor.
A couple caveats - although I believe this is the best of the four volumes, unfortunately it is difficult for a newcomer to jump right into this one- this is a show that is more entertaining ... Read More

Super funny adult cartoon! We just love Futurama. Full of laughs! A very silly view of our future! You decide if you want to let the kiddies watch. We bought all the seasons prior to this one & we are not dissapointed!
