Possibly the best season yet! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 3 people found this review helpful.

This show gets better and more lewd each year! Bravo!

Of particular fun is the episode Moonajuana, you have to see it to believe it! (apparently burning tires in a giant glass hookah is how Mooninites get high)

There is also one annoyance: The sellout episode featuring Boost Mobile. Though the episode is funny at times, it seems like a giant ad for the cellular service. Verdict: Douchebags sold out!

Other than that (and not enough to dampen the 5 star rating) the season is great!

Hmm.. Not Bad. Not the Best Either 3 out of 5 stars.

This is one of the funniest, if not the funniest, Adult Swim shows. Very crude and offensive humor at its best. Unknown Hinson cant not be beat as the lead character voice. The first episode in not so great, but everything after that is great. This dvd has some great features, especially with Unknown Hinson. The animation is different and just takes some getting use to. The hillbilly humor is great. Adult Swim fans must have! Can't wait for the next season.

Absolute inbred-interspecies good times! 5 out of 5 stars.

I received a call late one night from my mother while she was out of town. It was about 2 in the morning, and she was laughing so hard she could barely speak. She had found an episode of the Squidbillies on television while being unable to sleep. Due to the time of night and my mother's quirky sense of humor, I accused of her of making the whole thing up! I could not believe that what she was describing, was actually being aired on adult swim. I believed even adult swim had a fine line. Apparently not! lol! A few weeks later, I discovered that my mother had been telling the truth. There was a cartoon called Squidbillies. I went onto youtube and viewed a few clips then purchased this dvd. The rest if history! If you are looking for a very unique, odd but unbelievably funny cartoon- then this is the one for you. This was right up my alley. It truly is a guilty pleasure. You just can not stop watching and the theme song is addictive. LOVE IT! My favorite character is granny. Enjoy!

Great Show For an Acquired Taste 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Sealab is a great parody of Hannah Barbara's Sealab 2020 using new voices and animations to turn a mundane show into somewhat of a underground classic. This show takes the crew of a underwater research station and puts them through ridiculous scenarios and is one of the funniest shows of this generation. If you aren't a fan of random comedy and animated humor then this show isn't for you and I wouldn't advise you to try it without at least a sample, but if you do like animated humor then purchase these DVD's now.

Editorial Review:

It is the year 2021. In this mind-bogglingly distant future Sealab rises imperiously from the ocean's floor her crew charged with exploring the possibility of underwater colonization. That is when they're not fighting giant squids over a toy oven.* Or running pirate radio stations. Or trying to put their brains into robot bodies. Or going back in time. Or being attacked by flesh-ripping aliens. Or becoming addicted to scorpion venom. Or getting stuck in a storage closet. Or going back in time again. Captain Murphy. Marco. Debbie. Stormy. Doctor Quinn. Dolphin Boy. They're all inside this box screaming to get out so they can live inside your television. So buy the damn thing and set them free. You'll beridiculously glad you did.

Editorial Review:

Matt Groening's second season of the 31st century sci-fi sitcom Futurama maintained the high scripting standards of the first and also well brought improved digital animation. Couch potato Fry now seems thoroughly reconciled to his new existence, transported 10 centuries hence to "New New York" and working for Professor Farmsworth's delivery service. He's surrounded by a cast of freaks, including the bitchily cute Amy (with whom he has a romantic brush) and Hermes, the West Indian bureaucrat. Most sympathetic is the one-eyed Leela (voiced by Katey Segal). Like Lisa Simpson, she is brilliant but unappreciated; she finds solace in her pet Nibbler, a tiny creature with a voracious, carnivorous appetite. By contrast, Bender, the robot, is programmed with every human vice, a sort of metal Homer Simpson with a malevolent streak.

In one of the best episodes, Bender is given a "feelings" chip in order to empathize with Leela after he flushes Nibbler down the toilet. Elsewhere, Fry falls in love with a mermaid when the team discover the lost city of Atlanta, Fry and Bender end up going to war after they join the army to get a discount on gum, and John Goodman guest stars as Santa Claus, an eight-foot gun-toting robot. Brimful with blink-and-you'll-miss-them hip jokes (such as the sign for the Taco Bellevue hospital) and political and pop satire, Futurama isn't a stern warning of things to come but rather, as the makers put it, "a brilliant, hilarious reflection of our own materially (ridiculously) overdeveloped but morally underdeveloped society." --David Stubbs

I love Harvey Birdman, and I'm sure I would have loved the second season, but I ordered it twice and both times I ended up with two copies of the second disc. I suspect it was some kind of error that didn't get corrected. I wasn't willing to order a third time. I don't blame Amazon or whoever sent it. That's just what happened.

This is an awesome cartoon. Voice actors such as, Gary Cole, Lewis Black, Stephen Colbert make this one of the best series adult swim had to offer. It's a shame the series ended last year.

HA HA, love it 5 out of 5 stars.

Never thought that I would be a fan of a man dressed up as a bird-man-superhero fighting crime in the courtroom... until I saw this show. Great repeating jokes from the first season, love every episode, especially since I have a very childish sense of humor :)

Did you get that thing. That thing I sent to you. 5 out of 5 stars.

Editorial Review:

Good news, everyone, the third DVD volume of Futurama is just as funny as ever--irreverent, boundlessly inventive, warmhearted, and chock-full of in-jokes, sight gags, and fleeting references to all manner of pop-culture icons and obscure genre classics. In fact, if the show has a problem, it's that it's all so lovingly crafted that scarcely a frame goes by without something both funny and clever going on: when a horse wins a race by a quantum fraction, Prof. Farnsworth fulminates, "You changed the result by observing it!" Recurring minor characters (Elzar the chef, the robot mafia, the mutants in the sewers) pop up unexpectedly throughout, providing another wink to dedicated fans; like Red Dwarf, this is a show that loves the genre it sets out to spoof. Shame, then, that the show has had a troubled broadcast history and never quite found the mainstream appeal of its stablemate The Simpsons.

Fry and the Planet Express team find themselves stranded on a planet of unfeasibly large women ("Amazon Women in the Mood"), standing in for psychotic Robo-Santa ("A Tale of Two Santas", with John Goodman reprising his evil robot), and variously falling in love with each other and sundry other humans, aliens, man-bots, fem-bots, virtual reality constructs, and even the Planet Express ship itself.

Futurama, Vol. 3 comprises 22 episodes on four discs. As with previous DVD sets, the animated menus are a treat, and there's a selection of bonus features including deleted scenes, storyboards, commentaries on every episode, animatics, "How to draw" tips, and more. Sheer heaven. --Mark Walker

Futurama: Still great! 5 out of 5 stars.
1 of 1 people found this review helpful.

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.

Futurama is the best 5 out of 5 stars.

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. =]

horrible deal. Exact reason you dont want to buy here. 1 out of 5 stars.

waited over 30 days and never received what was purchased. I even wrote an extensive e-mail to the seller after 20-some days of waiting asking for anything along the lines of explanation, consoltation, refund, or really any contact atall and received nothing until Amazon refunded my money. Thanks gnewall20,......for Nothing. Take your business elsewhere as assuredly I will. Just Not cool B.S. indeed. If u don't have something don't sell it, and/or at least let the purchaser know so as not to waste all this freakin time! What if this was a gift! B.S. I could've had this over a month ago!!!

One of the funniest shows ever! 5 out of 5 stars.
11 of 12 people found this review helpful.

This show is one of the funniest shows ever made. I first stumbled upon this show on Adult Swim on the Cartoon Network, I thought it was an episode of Robot Chicken poking fun at Davey & Goliath. Turns out it was Moral Orel! Orel is a young boy who wants nothing more than do right in the eyes of God. However despite his best efforts no matter how hard he tries, he always screws up in the end. What makes the show funny is as the viewer you can see the trainwreck that is about to happen and just sit there and wait for it to happen.
The show isn't for everyone, but for those with a slightly off sense of humor you will love this show.

Sad, Sad, Sadder than Sad ... 5 out of 5 stars.

That song, in between episodes on Disc 2, is worth the price of purchase by itself!
The whole production is an excellent spoof of American WASP "Christianity" - and Religion in general.
It is sure to offend many in the "Moral Majority" - but for those of us who have found life outside said group - it is a hoot!
Gumby must be morphing in his grave.

0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Like one reviewer put it, the movie is great but would be better as a 15 minute episode. The magic that made the series so great just doesn't translate well into a movie. It's difficult to make something so short funny for an hour or two.

In the movie Fry, Master Shake, & Meatwad try to get buff. They have some contraption that's obviously going to backfire horribly (which it does) since that's something that's a regular in the series. After some misadventures, they start the machine up & it turns into a horrible robotic monstrosity with Carl inside of it. That's pretty much the basic plot in a nutshell. Literally, it could have been shorter. Then again, they wouldn't have been able to put in the added backstory about where they came from and who their parents are. It's funny, but honestly the origin story could have been skipped. It was lackluster.


In the end the movie is good for entertainment value (i.e., it won't bore you), but not good as far as overall greatness goes. I wouldn't buy it full price $25-18, but it'd make a decent addition if you can get it at a bargain price. It's not worth that much.

Editorial Review:

At once a merciless skewering of all things fanboy and an extremely satisfying addition to the Futurama franchise, Bender's Game is among the best of the animated series' feature length adventures. The game in question is Dungeons and Dragons, and Bender wants in--only robots aren't programmed with the necessary imagination. Naturally, Bender's plans to develop one go completely awry and land him in an android asylum. The role-playing plotline later re-emerges--in typically convoluted Futurama fashion--via a subplot involving Professor Farnsworth's conversion of dark matter into spaceship fuel, which created a key to a very D&D-influenced universe where our hapless heroes eventually find themselves. The alternate world storyline allows for much lampooning of fantasy tropes, with Lord of the Rings receiving the lion's share of the tweaks. Seeing as how the writers have already devoted much of the movie's running time to parodying Star Wars and Star Trek (and their Lego offshoots), one might think that Bender's Game might suffer from pop-culture overload, but surprisingly, it all feels fresh and frequently funny, and the writers are wise to ground the story in their eccentric characters rather than pinballing them through an endless string of gags. The result is probably the strongest of the direct-to-DVD Futurama releases to date, and one that newcomers to the show's cracked universe can appreciate as much as longtime fans.As with previous Futurama DVD releases, the extras come fast and furious on Bender's Game: commentary by members of the cast and production team (including Matt Groening) is both informative and funny, while interviews with the writers and producers discuss, among other topics, the influence of Dungeons and Dragons on the series and the 3D models used in the feature. Aspiring animators might appreciate "How To Draw Futurama in 83 Easy Steps and the storyboard animatic for the first part of the story, while the "Genetics Lab" feature allows for some amusing Dr. Moreau-style cross-breeding of the characters. Recording session bloopers and a deleted scene offer their own laughs, but the most enjoyable extra must be the preview for the next Futurama feature, Into the Wild Green Yonder, which suggests a shocking development for one of the show's regulars. -- Paul Gaita
