Hungry aliens, delicious humans, and beer-fueled robots collide as the Emmy Award®-winning animated television comedy "Futurama" makes its highly-anticipated DVD debut on March 25 in the "Futurama" Volume One DVD Collection, from Fox Home Entertainment.

Matt Groening, the creator and Executive Producer of "The Simpsons," has hatched another outrageous look at the world, this time set in New New York City in the year 3000 in a Jetsons-meets-Simpsons satire of pop culture, science-fiction, and life as we will someday know it. Arriving on the heels of the record-breaking "The Simpsons" Seasone One and Season Two DVD Collections with more than two-million units sold to date, the "Futurama" Volume One DVD Collection is loaded with exclusive bonus materials.

The collectible three-disc set includes the show’s first thirteen episodes, plus commentaries from Groening and his crew, deleted scenes, a featurette, animatics, and much more, all for the suggested retail price of $39.98 U.S./$54.98 Canada.
