Futurama: Complete Season 1

Distributed by


The Simpsons was always going to be a tough act to follow, but creator Matt Groening managed it a second time with Futurama and the first episode brilliantly sets the tone and the game-plan for the basic story.

There are thirteen episodes on this DVD boxset, which, according to Epguides.com, is actually all nine from season one, plus the first four from season two, despite the "Season One" tag on this boxset. Four of the best are listed below:

All 13 episodes are as follows :

All the episodes feature the same quick-witted approach to the Simpsons and scores of one-liners that you'd rarely find in other TV series, all of which hit home perfectly. What's also of primary importance is that every episode is presented uncut, unlike when they get shown on Sky or Channel 4, where selected ones are censored depending on the timeslot used.

The NHS in the 31st Century.


The programme has always been made and presented in 4:3 fullscreen and looks perfectly crisp, clear and colourful. Not a single artifact or blemish on view.

The programme was filmed in Dolby Surround and is presented here as such. It's a shame, though, that we haven't been treated to a Dolby Digital remix as we were delivered with the Simpsons Season One boxset. The stereo separation isn't used to any massive degree but it benefits the scenes in which it's used.

The extras can be simply summed up but they are welcome. All episodes come complete with an Audio commentary and there are also Deleted scenes for selected episodes. A trailer for Season 1 is also included.

Disc one also adds some extras specific to the first show, Space Pilot 3000. As well as an interactive gallery of stills and concept art plus the script and storyboards, the "Animatics" section shows the entire episode in rough sketch form. A shame we couldn't have seen the same treatment done for the whole series as that would've been quite something.

Each episode has five chapters subtitles come in 4 flavours: English for the hearing-impaired, French, Italian and Dutch. The menus are all static and some contain looped pieces of music.
