Futurama Season 4 on DVD




Product Link

The last released season of Futurama, Season 4 on DVD offers a wide variety of options to the consumer. Not only does it reveal the car-crash-like horror and intrigue of William Shatner singing a Slim Shady remix, the Emmy-nominated "Jurassic Bark" (an episode that often makes me cry…) and answers to questions no one asked but can't help loving the answers to ("The Why of Fry", what is space jelly?, etc.). This fourth season of Futurama is one of the many examples of how the sales of tv shows on DVD have gone on to affect the future of the show. At the end of November 2007 the first of four Futurama movies are going to be released onto DVD and Comedy Central is scheduled to air 13 NEW episodes starting some time in 2008.

First off, the interactive menus of the Futurama Season 4 on DVD disc set is probably the best yet. It is vivid and entertaining as far as the graphics, but there are also really neat audio tracks that are more varied than previous seasons. It also offers a "Play All" option, which is very much appreciated.

Like the other sets of Futurama tv shows on DVD, there are commentaries on all the episodes. These are full length commentaries and the "Jurassic Bark" episode offers two commentaries in order to go over the writing process for the emotional episode. On disc 1 of the Futurama DVD Season 4 set, one of my favorite extras is the storyboard for "Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch". Disc 3 offers a lot of extra scenes and deleted scenes for individuals to view.

However, the real gem of the set is Disc 4. With 11 different models of animation, a How To when it comes to drawing Bender and Professor Farnworth, pencil tests and a gallery of sketches, there are enough extras to keep all fans entertained and happy. There are also trailers and promos for the first three seasons of Futurama on DVD as well as for the Futurama video game that was released. Easter eggs are hidden all over the DVD and include a Table Read of "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings" as well as a list of unused opening title lines. It is a fun and interesting DVD set and one of the best TV shows on DVD!
