Futurama Season 2

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

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

5.0 out of 5 stars Lick My Frozen Metal AxSS August 30, 2005
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Nothing is sacred to Matt Groening's Futurama, so buckle your seatbelt and get ready to take off again with the crew of the Planet Express. Volume Two leaps directly into more sticky situations for Frye, Leela, Bender, Dr. Zoidberg, Amy, Hermes, and Professor Farnsworth. Back for more episodes are Zap Brannigan and Kiff, (Brannigan's uniform is still waaaaaaay too short!) and more of Mom from Mom's Robot Company.

The only problem with Volume Two is that, again, there is not 'Play All' option on the discs, which is really annoying. You have to start each episode separately and hit Play a second time. (This is fixed by Volume Three). There are more commentaries and deleted scenes though, available for each episode.

Here's a rundown of the episodes:

Disc One:

Episode One-I Second That Emotion.

Nibbler chips a tooth biting Bender's hinder. Everyone makes a fuss over Nibbler and Bender gets jealous. Bender flushes Nibbler down the toilet. Bender has to wear an emotion chip tuned to Leela's frequency so he will feel her pain of loss. Everyone winds out down in the sewer looking for nibbler and finds the mutants colony.

Episode Two-Brannigan, Begin Again.

Zapp and Kiff are stripped of their titles for destroying the DOOP station. This episode spoofs Midnight Cowboy in a hilarious, side-clutching parody. Professor Farnsworth hires Zapp and Kiff. Zapp fools Bender and Frye into mutiny against Leela, but then they have to reinstate her so she can save the day.

Episode Three-A Head In The Polls.

It's election day. Bender sells his body for cash, and Richard Nixon's head buys it to run for presidency against clones John Jackson and Jack Johnson. Leela and Frye have to help Bender get his body back and get Nixon out of the presidential race.

Episode Four-Xmas Story.

Nothing says xmas like a roaring fire and a super-squirter full of cognac. The crew visits the Catskills on a ski trip. The skiing is sidesplitting, especially the professors and Zoidberg's. In Xmas of the future, the robot Santa Clause's standards are too high, so *everybody* is naughty. If you are caught out after dark, Santa will cut your head off. Not one for the kiddies. "I'm going to shove coal so far up your stocking you'll be coughing out diamonds."

Episode Five-Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love?

One of my favorites! Dr. Zoidberg becomes heavy with male jelly, and must visit his old scuttling grounds on his home planet for the mating frenzy. But Edna, the female of Zoidberg's interest, becomes infatuated with Frye. Zoidberg challenges Frye to Claw-Plock, a fight to the death.

Disc Two:

Episode Six-The Lesser Of Two Evils.

While driving an old fashioned automobile at the Past-O-Rama, fry hits another bending unit named Flexo. Bender and Flexo become friends. The professor takes everyone into his bed to show off the jumbonion atom they have to deliver to the Miss Parallel Universe Contest. The crew requests a more comfortable setting for the showing, so Farnsworth takes them to the bath. The atom is stolen on the trip to the Contest, and Flexo is suspected.

Episode Seven-Put Your Head On My Shoulder.

Amy buys a new car and takes Frye on a drive to Mercury, where they run out of gas. Amy and Frye become an item afterward. But when Frye tries to break up with Amy by taking Zoidberg with them on a trip to Europa, Zoidberg crashes the car and has to attach Frye's head onto Amy's body.

Episode Eight-Raging Bender.

Hermes comes back from vacation with a brain slug on his head. In an incident at an 'All My Circuits' movie, Bender accidentally takes down The Masked Unit and is recruited for Ultimate Robot Fighting as Bender The Offender. When he looses popularity, he has to wear a tutu and fight as The Gender Bender. But the fight is really between Leela and an old acquaintance that hurt her feelings a long time ago.

Episode Nine-A Bicyclops Built For Two.

Everyone enters the internet, and spends time in chat rooms. During a virtual reality game, Leela finds one of her own species but Frye destroys him. Now she has to find him in real life. When he contacts her, she abandons a delivery to visit him, but discovers he's not what he says he is. This episode spoofs 'Married With Children'.

Episode Ten-A Clone Of My Own.

It's Professor Farnsworth's 150th birthday. Faced with his own mortality, he presents a clone he created 12 years ago from one of the shapelier growths on his back. Hubert Farnsworth. Hubert is such a brat that the Professor calls the Sunset Robots to take him away. Now the crew must find him and bring him back.

Disc three:

Episode Eleven-How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back.

Hermes makes a mistake and is demoted by the Central Bureaucracy and forced onto paid vacation. Morgan, a level 19 bureaucrat, replaces him, and is turned on by Frye's filthiness. (Dirty Boy! Dirty Boy!) Morgan takes Bender's brain because Bender catches her with Frye. It's up to Hermes, who knows his way around Bureaucracy, to save the day.

Episode Twelve-The Deep South.

Instead of a pet license for Nibble, Hermes requisitions a mandatory fishing license. So the crew goes fishing. Bender catches a colossal big mouth bass that pulls the ship underwater. Frye meets a mermaid named Umbriel from the Lost City of Atlanta.

Episode Thirteen-Bender Gets Made.

Bender causes an accident on the Elzar show (digs on Emeril) and has to work off a debt. He falls into company with the robot mafia, and has to assist them on a heist of Zuban cigars from Leela and Frye.

Episode Fourteen-Mother's Day.

Mom is back! The bony, chainsmoking old woman in the mechanical fat suit. Mom has always hated mother's day, so she programs all the robots to rebel against humans unless she is elected Supreme Overlord of Earth. Mom is grumpy because Dr Farnsworth once played 'pelvic pinochle' with her, and she misses him. Now Farnsworth must step up and steal Mom's bra.

Episode Fifteen-The Problem With Popplers.

This is one of my very favorites. Two days away from earth with no food, the Planet Express stops at a remote planet for food. They find a hole filled with fried shrimp and discover they are delicious. Frye says, "They're kind of like $ex, except I'm having them." Bender starts selling popplers and their franchise is bought by Fishy Joe's. But Leela discovers Popplers are intelligent, and while trying to ban the consumption of them, the popplers violent space parents show up. Zap Brannigan is back as negotiator.

Disc Four:

Episode Sixteen-Anthology of Interest 1.

Professor Farnsworth activates his "What If" machine. Bender wonders, 'What if I were 500 feet tall?', Leela asks 'What if I were more impulsive?', and Frye asks 'What if I never fell into the freezer?'. Guest stars Steven Hawking, Nichelle Nicols, and ex-VP Al Gore.

Episode Seventeen-War Is The H Word.

Love this episode too! Frye and Bender join the army to get their 5% discount on ham-flavored gum, but are sent to war. Leela must enroll as a man to save them, because Zap Brannigan doesn't allow women in the armed forces. Spoofs M.A.S.H. Bender becomes a hero and is planted with a bomb set to explode when he says the word "AxSS". Time is short for Leela and Frye to save him. Very funny shower scene in this episode, plus the hilarious scene where Henry Kissinger's head tells the Ball-People that, in war, we've all seen too many body bags and ball sacks.

Episode Eighteen-The Honking.

Bender's uncle dies and leaves him his castle, on the condition that he spends one night in it. The crew stays the night, but Bender becomes haunted by a strange car. After consulting a circus fortune telling booth, Bender discovers he's a Were-car. This episode makes fun of Christine and Dracula.

Episode Ten-The Cryonic Woman.

Bender and Frye steal the Planet Express ship and go for a joyride. Leela is held responsible and all three are fired. Through an employment chip mix-up, Frye gets a job as cryogenic counselor in charge of waking freezers. He is surprised to see his old girlfriend Michelle waking up in the future. Michelle doesn't fit in and convinces Frye to go to the future with her. Guest stars Paulie Shore.

As in Volume One, the humor of Futurama is adult and racy, but campy and hilariously enjoyable. It's a warped comedy with a naughty sense of humor, so if that is your cup of tea, run out and grab all four seasons! Enjoy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Season May 5, 2003
By A Customer
Format:DVD
This dvd will have the production season 2, meaning that instead of 16 episodes it will have 19 with 3 that were aired in season 3. The episodes are all very good, having some of my favorites. The episodes and a brief description are as follows:
I Second That Emotion: The professor installs an empathy chip in Bender when he flushes Nibbler down the toilet.
Brannigan Begin Again: Zapp Brannigan gets a job at planet express.
A Head in the Polls: Bender sells his body for profit and it goes to Richard Nixon who runs for president of earth.
Xmas Story: In year 3000, Santa Claus is an Eight-Foot Robot that everyone fears.
Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love: Zoidberg is back to his home planet for mating season.
Put Your Head on My Shoulder: Fy and Amy start an office romance before Valentines day.
Lesser of Two Evils: The professor hires Flexo a robot who looks exactly like Bender.
Raging Bender: Bender becomes a superstar in the brutal Ultimate Robot Fighting League.
A Bicyclops Built for Two: While online Leela meets the last remaining male cyclops.
A Clone of My Own: Professor Farnsworth revives his clone and goes for retirement at the "near death star."
How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back: Hermes is sent on vacation and is replaced by Morgan Proctor, an attractive woman that has a crush on Fry.
The Deep South: After their ship sinks on a fishing trip, the crew has to build a town under the sea and Fry finds love in a mermaid.
Bender Gets Made: The secret robot mafia recruits Bender.
My Problem With Popplers: The crew lands on an unknown planet and discover a rare and strangely addictive kind of life called popplers.
Mother's Day: Mom, founder of Mom's Friendly Robot Company, enlists all robots in an attempt of world domination.
Anthology of Interest I: Professor Farnsworth creates a "what if" machine. Bender wonders what if he's 500 ft. tall, Leela is a little bit more impulsive, and what if Fry would have never been frozen 1000 years ago?
War is the H-Word:Bender and Fry volunteer for military duty to enjoy the benefits of the soldiers's discount only to have war break out later that day.
The Honking:A curse turns Bender into a were-car and tries to run over Fry.
The Cryonic Woman: Fry and Bender get everyone fired after joy-riding in the planet express ship.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Reason To Hate FOX...For Cancelling this show. April 15, 2003
Format:DVD
The Pitts.... still on the air
Cedric the Entertainer.... still on the air
30 Seconds to Fame.... still on the air

Futurama.... Cancellation Announced

You have got to be kidding me. Shows like Cedric, The Pitts, and 30 Seconds to fame...not to mention Married by America, Temptation Island 3, and Wanda at Large still get production dollars, but they are cutting Futurama, and they already cancelled the Family Guy? Jeez. There truly is no accounting for taste. Futurama really hits it's stride in Season 2, but even Season 1 was sharp, and well written. Buy this DVD and you will be turned on to the best show you've never seen. Trust me and everyone else that write a review for this DVD set, you will be glad you bought it. And try out Season 1 and the Family Guy Seasons 1 and 2. Now that is MUST SEE TV.
