They'll probably hold it off to near the end of this year so they get maximum holiday sales.

Theoretically. But we're talking Fox here. They'll probably pre-empt a July release and release "Worlds Funniest Tapeworms" or something instead.

considering we had a season 3 episode, in season 5 , we may not be seeing another dvd set for a LONG time. probably not until the end of the year I really have no idea how fox will treat season 3, 4 and 5 of the dvd releases. also, you must keep in mind, they need to gather up all the comentaries and bonus stuff, which im pretty freakin sure hasnt been done yet.

I''m curious as to how they're going to do the commentaries. If the production team have been told to find new jobs (see "sacked" ) then I don't think we'll be seeing as many people participating in the commentaries. There might not even be a commentary for every episode.

And this was after they knew they were not getting any more episodes ordered. Dunno about Season 4 though... That's good to know. I knew they had recorded season 1 and 2 together at the end of 2001 but I didn't know when season 3 was being done.

one quick example of a show being on DVD before UK would be the show 24. It was on DVD before the first episode aired in the UK (I think), meaning fans could just buy the dvd set or download episodes before the show is finished or aired in UK.
One might wonder if episodes get released on DVD in the US before theyre even aired in UK for futurama.

I predict an August release for the Season 3 DVD's. Btw, according to Sky magazine, Season 5 of Futurama is penned for an April premiere.

Originally posted by Kazzahdrane: However, Friends is a good example of a show that is released on video before the series has finished on TV. At least in the UK anyway. I think that is why C4 are showing Friends earlier in the year now (they are starting S9 on Friday when they used to start it sometime in April/May). Originally posted by asianlighting: How about all those other American shows that get the DVD treatment in Europe, but not here in the US? Ally McBeal, The Family Guy, The West Wing, what's up with that? I don't understand how this kind of stuff can happen? I think it is something to do with syndication (the same reason as to why Futurama hasn't been released so far in the US). We don't really have syndication in Europe (well, we don't in the UK and I think the rest of Europe doesn't either) so it isn't so much an issue.

Originally posted by Kazzahdrane: as this is the first box set to be released soon after (some of)the episodes have been on C4. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the Season 2 DVD set come out about a month after 'Cryronic Woman' aired for the first time on C4? That was pretty soon after.
