I saw on the discussion boards, people were wondering whether the volume 1-4 set was different from buying the seasons 1 through 4 packages separately. I just received my 1-4 set and I can say for sure it is exactly the same as buying separately. This is not one boxed set, it is the 4 individual volumes shrinkwrapped together. This is not a bad thing! This is a whole lot of goodness! But if it's cheaper to buy them separately (and it is right now, as I write this), due to the weird fluctuations in the prices caused by sunspots, astrological alignments and black helicopters no doubt, the feel free to buy separately, you won't miss out on anything.
Another question plaguing the minds of today's young people: How come IMDB.com, epguides.com and GotFuturama.com (among others) say there are 5 seasons, but this set is four "volumes"? I dunno, but I can now say for sure, the 4 volumes contain ALL the episodes including "season 5", all 72 of 'em, plus a lot of extra goodies like commentary tracks. If you were holding back, I say go ahead and dive in, you have nothing to fear but cramps in your smile muscles and ribs from prolonged laughing.
I thought it was illegal to be that funny on TV.

This is not a review, per se, though I highly recommend the set. Rather, I just wanted to point out that you get 72 episodes (with a total of 74 commentaries!), not just 61, as amazon incorrectly states above. [Note: amazon has subsequently corrected their listing.]

This is truly an amazing show. The writing is perfect full of laughs, pop culture references, and even references to little known science fiction show and books. The characters are perfect, bender being the best. The romance between fry and Leela is heartbreaking. The show also looks amazing seemlessly blending in 3d animation with 2d for spectacular effects. But enough about the show.
Aside from the show the special features on these sets are great. The deleted seens are great, the 3 and 4 sets have how to draw segments, but the commentaries are reason alone to buy this set. Even if you have seen every single episode i would recommend this set for the commentaries alone. David Cohen is a lovable geek, Billy West (voice of Fry, Zoidberg and the Proffesor) and John Dimaggio (voice of Bender) are hilarious and so is the rest of the cast.
So in short BUY THESE DVDS

Not what I ordered
I ordered this item - Futurama Volumes 1-4 - but only received the 4th volume. This is in contrast with the other reviewers who have received the full set. Read more

Bite My Shiny Metal ....
This is my favorite modern cartoon - surpassing even the Simpsons. I really did not appreciate it much when it was first on - in actuality, I never really saw a whole episode. Read more

Hilarious show
Great show, sad to see Simpson's still on the air regurgitating stories and yet this gem got canceled.

Maybe Matt Groening's best work.
Amazing series, all in one package. I'm not a huge fan of the movies they've been pumping out, but the TV series was amazing. Read more

One of my favorite cartoons
This cartoon is so well written, honestly. If a cartoon can make you cry right after your eyes watered from laughter, then some thought went into it. Read more

Futurama is a rich and rewarding show
Full of laughs, Futurama is often written off as just another Groening cartoon, but Futurama pushes the genre to a completely new level. Read more
