Although this release won't benefit many of us here (because we all own the seasons anyway), I think this is a good idea for those casual fans out there. I guess if it had new extras it would benefit us, but they'd have to be decent... I'm most interested in the artwork myself. I'm hoping it'll have new artwork, I'll take any new Futurama art I can get... As for which episodes it'll contain, it's anybody’s guess (accept Matt’s). But seeing as it's one from every season, here's not what I think will be on it, but what I'd personally put on it myself if I was choosing: ‘Fry & The Slurm Factory’ ‘A Head in the Polls’ ‘Parasites Lost’ ‘The Sting’ Thanx futufan for letting us know ...

The family guy version didn't have anything extra other than a few seconds of Bin Laden that was cut from the earlier release. But thats OK. Futurama discs always have more stuff on them, so I'm hopeful that there will be some juicy extras bolted on, or at least an easter egg.
My list: 'Hell is other robots' 'Why must I be a crustacean in love?' 'Parasites lost' 'The devils hands are idle playthings'

Second. I too hope it has some extra stuff, like new commentaries for each episode. Thank you for the info futufan, you've made me a very happy girl

Shadowstar - the list is one from each season. You had two Season 2 episodes and no Season 1 episodes.
Anyway, my list would be: SEASON 1: A Flight To Remember SEASON 2: War Is The H-Word SEASON 3: Roswell That Ends Well (I'm betting this will definitely be on there, since it won an emmy & all) SEASON 4: The Sting
I might look into buying this, providing I can get it at a decent price & it has some good extras.

First off, I want to thank Futufan not only for all his info, but also for those rockin' menus. Seriously, these box sets have been incredible, and I'm not afraid to say that they should be the standard for all animated show dvds to aspire to. I say that not only as a biased Futurama fan but moreso as a general dvd buyer. In any case, I might buy this. Depends on the price, what extra features are involved, etc. It would be a nice way of supporting the show too, and either way I'll be curious about Groening's favorite episodes. Zmithy: There's actually a potential for them to pull a "Family Guy" here if you think about it. If they decide to put "Space Pilot 3000" on this they could theoretically put in the original with the "JFK Jr. Airport" line. My potential picks: S1: A Big Piece of Garbage (unless they want to include the unedited SP3000, which would be preferable) S2: A Head in the Polls S3: Luck of the Fryrish (but damn what a season) S4: Jurassic Bark

Don't worry. It's true. Futufan works at... somewhere and does... something. I don't really know what he does, but I do know that he is involved with the futurama dvd's. So don't worry.
My List:
S1:A Big Piece of Garbage
S2:Xmas Story
S3:Parasites Lost
S4: Jurrasic Bark

Cool news. If it's priced similarly to the Family Guy collection relative to the season sets (that would put it in the ~15 range, in store), I'll likely pick it up. Assuming, of course, that it has something more than just four vanilla episodes. Animatics would be nice, table reads would be better, both would be superb. Little intro videos from Matt on the episodes, perhaps? Hopefully some stuff suggested by us in that thread a while back will make it to the disk.
edit: It would be interesting if the episodes followed the whole nibbler/fry story that was there from the beginning, but I doubt that would happen. I don't think there is anything from Season 3, and there would be 2 from 4 (and 1, if you included LLLiS). Just a thought.

I thought Fox only did the new Family Guy DVD to promote the new season and American Dad. But maybe it sold well enough that they decided a new Futurama DVD would do well too.

Who is going to buy this DVD when most fans already own all 4 seasons on DVD?
The only thing new this DVD has to offer is 4 new commentaries and theres already enough commentaries to go through on the Season 1 - 4 sets.
$40 just to listen to a few new commentaries??

Anyway, I'd like to see deep documentaries on how Matt, David and the others created the characters. I'd really like to how (and when) they came up with the original concepts, personalities and backstories of Fry, Leela, Bender, Amy, Kif, Zoidy, the Proefessy, Hermes, Zapp, Mom, Walt, Larry, Ignar, Morbo and the rest, instead of just saying "Leela's the typical sci-fi babe that drives horny animators crazy, but only has 1 one" or "Fry's like me when I was in my mid20's" or "Bender's not like Robby the Robot from 'Forbidden Planet'". I'd also REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like to make commentaries by Katey and Lauren in which they tell how they got the roles of Leela and Amy, what working on the show was like, what they think of Matt, David, the writers, producers, character designer, storyboard and layout people, in-betweeners and claenup artists, and fellow voice actors like Billy, John, Moe, Dave, Tress and Kath, what they think of their characters, their most and least favorite characters, episodes and plot points, how they look back on the show, etc.

Speaking of Futurama DVDs, here in Australia each disc from the box sets are now being sold separately for $14.99, I guess this would help to entice casual fans that wont necessarily want every episode

these single disc dvd's have been rumored before season 1 was even announced on DVD. The fact that family guy got their own set would imply that this may actually happen, but back in the days I would have thought the simpsons having their own single disk sets would imply futuramas also.
that aside, futufan is a very very reliable source, so this sounds cool at least. I can't imagine there not being some really nice extra never before seen features on the disk, so hurrah for that. will I buy it? probably not. maybe once it goes on sale for like 6.99.

Originally posted by futufan: Okay, it's official ... here are the four hand picked episodes by MG and DXC that will be on this disc:
From Season 1: Hell is Other Robots From Season 2: Anthology of Interest I From Season 3: Roswell That Ends Well From Season 4: The Sting Can't say I'm really surprised about the episode selection - they're all generally regarded as the best as their season anyway. A little surprised by Season 1's episode (not that it's bad or anything, I just thought they'd have gone for one of the episodes that affected the series a lot, eg. Space Pilot 3000, Love's Labour's Lost In Space). If any more extras come up (new audio commentaries would be brilliant), I'll really consider getting it. Gots to support the show we all love!

1. I'm lazy. 2. I didn't wanna jump the gun. 3. I figured if I waited a couple of days, something more official may pop up, and it did.
So I'll update CGEF about it soon. Thing is, the disk(s) so far sound boring. I really hope they kick it up a notch and add something worthwhile to it.
