Coming to the end of yet another Futurama run, finishing off ITWGY, so should I do a Commentary Run? Are the Commentaries worth listening to?

The only ep I have watched with a Commentary is 'The Birdbot of Ice-Catraz', it was alright I guess, I loved how Billy West was Zoidberg in it. :laff:

Yes, you should. Though the only episode i've watched with commentaries is The Deep South was it really funny.

I pretty much only watch them with commentaries now, unless I got the itch for adventure classic episodes, which I might soon because I haven't seen them in a good while.

I agree with this. Hell, I prefer the commentaries for certain episodes more than I do the episodes themselves. You are certainly depriving yourself of some really funny (and occasionally insightful) stuff, DannyJC.

Seconded, thirded, fourthed, or whatever.  Not every one is great, but a lot of them are funny or informative or both.  I don't always watch with commentaries, (Netflix doesn't offer it, or I probably would) but if I have one of my DVD's in, 98 times out of 100 I put the commentary on. Probably closer to 99. Netflix has actually increased my Futurama watching, which I really didn't think was possible.

edit: Apparently fourthed was correct, as the vote is now 4-0.

Silence! I agree with your entirely. For example, my favorite commentary is Spanish Fry, but it's nowhere near my favorite episode. There was another episode from the new episodes that's like that too for me, but I can't remember which. I guess it's time for me to watch all of those again...

That's how I feel when I watch most commentaries, especially the really funny ones like Futurama.

Re: thread question.

The fact that you weren't already doing commentary runs after Futurama runs disappoints me greatly. :nono:

I generally like the commentaries, the ones where Billy West and
John DiMaggio go into character during them are some of the best.  I recommend them!

Watch all the commentaries in a row, that's the best way to go about it because there's gold mines in all of them. I think one of the episodes Trelane is talking about is A Pharaoh to Remember, pretty funny character acting on the voiceover commentary.

Oh and welcome to PEEL, Trelane! Enjoy your stay :p

Even I have watched all the commentaries and I'm not the type to play them. They're hilarious and have some cool trivia now and then too. Of course there's also a ton of random stories thrown in from the cast as opposed to a load of other shows or movies that have them which put me to sleep or drive me nutters because they babble on like it's a college course.

I currently watching the commentary for That Darn Katz! and they were just talking about online stuff. Billy told Claudia about how people online thought the title was for her, and that "you'd think there would be an award for the most annoying poster". I laughed hard.

They went on to talk about how people were making opinions about the episodes before they aired, then Billy was like "and after they aired, 'TENOUT OF TEN! TEN OUT OF TEN!'". It was all rather funny. Although I can assume they mean Billy's forum, it would be swell if the meant here.

Wow, it seems like his website is now down... It used to be billywest.com and there was a forum on there, but yeah... I'm assuming at the time of the commentary they were talking about it though. However, I do know that some staff have visited PEEL in the past, but just lurkers. Only staff I know who was a poster Sarge, an animator at Rough Draft.
