4.0 out of 5 stars Still Good, November 24, 2011

By

This review is from: Futurama: Volume 6 (DVD)

During its original run, Futurama was one of the best comedies on television, and its return from an unjust cancellation was, to say the least, welcome. Fan opinion on the revived basic-cable Futurama was split- some hailed it as a return to form, some called for the execution of all involved. Season 6 will be no less controversial, I'm sure, but in my opinion it was "pretty good".

There's not much to say plot-wise: if you're reading this review, you've probably watched and loved the first five seasons, and the sixth is much like. I do have to say that it's a drop in quality from the previous, but you'll get more than your fill of the crazy adventures of Fry, Leela, Bender and the whole Planet Express crew in this 13-episode set. Highlights include the Zoidberg-centric "The Tip of the Zoidberg", "Cold Warriors" and the non-canon anthology "Reincarnation". I would recommend purchasing this DVD to any Futurama fan or fan of comedy in general.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb!, December 8, 2011

This review is from: Futurama: Volume 6 (DVD)

In the second season back after several years of cancellation, the Futurama crew has hit their groove once again! I've been a die hard fan since Futurama's inception, and I was absolutely ecstatic when they decided to bring it back from extinction. All the original episodes are near and dear to my heart, so I can truly understand why some of the fans build up their expectations so much that it's hard not to criticize the new episodes, but I have to say I'm finding the same 80/20 awesome/filler ratio I found in all the old seasons. They're still finding ways to spoof current events in a futuristic context, cramming in enough jokes that you find new things to laugh at the 5th time through, etc. All the things I loved about the early days with the Planet Express crew are true to form in their return...with the added benefit of HD! I can't get enough, and I hope they keep doing this for years to come. It's gonna be FUN ON THE BUN!

5.0 out of 5 stars Bite My Shiny Metal Review, December 30, 2011

This review is from: Futurama: Volume 6 [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)

Futurama 6 is still as hilarious as the earlier seasons. I've gone through both disks twice and once with commentary and still laugh at parts. The special features are good, but I wish there was more behind-the-scenes footage. I always enjoy watching voice actors in the studio, which you do get a glimpse of John and Billy, but I wish it showed the rest of the cast.

I wasn't sure how much of difference blu-ray would make on a cartoon, but it looks great on my TVs so I'm glad I bought them.
