Guide Review - "Futurama" Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection DVD
Well, for those of you that don't know, "Futurama" is funny and, unlike cousin "Simpsons," actually has a continuity (up to a point.) Main character Fry's heartbreaking, relentless, plodding pursuit of Leela, the one-eyed female Han Solo, makes even the most jaded lothario remember what it was like to have a painful crush on the perfect woman. There's Bender, whose twisted morals never quite allow him to belive that he'll have friends. He's the bending unit robot who is just a wasp nest of funny. Oh, and the rest. Matt Groening picked a show from each season and, basically, three of them are my favorites from those seasons, too.
The DVDs are nice, but not for collectors. No commentaries. The only difference is that it has these intro's that are short and certainly not worth buying if you already have all four seasons. But, hey, it's only like $15. That's two bad beers in New York City. Buy it.
