Good news, everybody! It’s here: the fancy DVD set of every Futurama episode ever made, plus all four Futurama movies, comes out today! As if that weren’t enough awesome, it all comes packaged in a limited edition, numbered Bender head case. It is literally the coolest thing in my office right now, including my Itchy and Scratchy toys (maybe even including my Muppets…I’ll have to think on that). Here’s the knock on the set, though: There are no new extras. So if you’ve been spending your Bachelor Chow budget on Futurama DVDs for the last little while, then you already own everything the set has to offer, except for that nifty Bender head that holds all 19 discs (72 episodes). The set retails for $199, but you can find it cheaper online.
So what do you think, PopWatchers? Are you willing to pay up to stare directly into Bender’s piercing eyes? Does the lack of new extras scare you off? How about the promise of more Futurama episodes to come? Does that mean in a few years there’ll be a whole new complete collection set, maybe this time in Bender’s shiny metal ass? We can only hope.
What a rip off! you can get each season at walmart for $15. (that’s where i got Simpsons season 4)
So 4 seasons for $60, plus 4 movies (say another $60 though you did not mention movie prices), plus the Bender head. Call that $125.
Wow that’s undoubtedly awesome, is there perhaps some picture you can attach to the story. I’d like to see it for myself, and I’m to lazy to look on Amazon, dagnabit!
My question is do they have a Play All feature? I love my S1 & S2 episodes of Futurama but it was made with no play all feature for continuous playing of the DVD.
If you really want it, go to Amazon. They are currently selling it for 117.99.
I’m looking forward to the new Futurama episodes. Fry and Leela and their comic romance is my favorite part of that show. Bender rocks too. And oh, Professor Farnsworth actually says “Good news, every*one*”!
Exactly. I think people get it mixed up with Dr. Nick’s “Hello, everybody!”
I am so excited!! I love this show and can not wait for the new episodes. Will probably end up buying this set because all my old copies are skipping and falling apart after years of repeated viewing. This is awesome, awesome to the max.
I LOVE FUTURAMA
Since I already own everything Futurama and this set doesn’t have anything new, I’ll pass. I’m super excited for the new episodes, though!
