Can't you just watch them and stop them after twenty minutes and watch the rest the next day? that makes more sense.

Actually that makes no sense whatsoever, as each Futurama movie is 72 minutes long. For this reason each movie was chopped up and re-edited to work better in episodic format, meaning they now contain new material and a new overall presentation for the stories. I, for one, am interested to see what the altered and whether or not I think the story works better in four part format.

Uhm... each film is 88 minutes in length. Well 88-89 minutes long. It is true that they were some slight re-editing (such as adding 'previously on Futurama' and adding a 'to be continued' at the end), but from what I've seen, there is no big change in the plot. Though it is somewhat nice to see some of the single plots outside the context of the entire film.

Whoops, must have been mistaken about the movie lengths, but my point still stands. It was sort of hard for me to pick out the 4 distinct plot lines and I'd like to see where each "Part" begins and ends.

You took five minutes to write that post.

As I understand it, the additions are pretty minor, for the most part...the biggest one is that Bender's Big Score has a fake ad for "Torgo's Powder" added into it. Otherwise there's some little "previously on" things with the Futurama characters, new opening captions, and not much else. I think the Infosphere site said they added a few establishing shots here and there.
If you do watch them in episodic-form, be aware that they also cut out material for time. For instance, the montage sequence of Leela and Lars on dates gets cut down significantly. If you just want to know the separation of the episodes, just watch closely on your DVD timer....at exactly the 22, 44, and 66 minute marks, a new "episode" starts (sometimes it's especially obvious, like Nibbler shouting "Dooooomed" followed by a cut to black, before cutting back).
I, for one, could honestly probably do without having the "episodes" on DVD, but I do hope that on one of the future sets they include all the little extra bits of material (even the "Previously On" bits) as an extra. Just put them in a quick montage or something.

Yeah if you manage to upload those somewhere I'd certainly like to know, just to check 'em out.
