Season 3 on DVD?

[Reply #560 on:]

Welcome to PEEL Byte! 

I hate the DVD hub clips!  I was putting a DVD back in it's case, and the catch caught between the disc's layers!

[Reply #561 on:]

I got my set yesterday. Here in Finland it's just a big box that opens in 3 different places. I've gone thru the first 3 discs. "A Leela Of Her Own" is possibly the worst episode of Futurama I've seen. Even "A Pharoah To Remember" beats it. Well, off to watch the table read then...Thanks for letting me know where to find it guys...

Welcome to PEEL AT.   

Don't let Teral hear that.  I'm almost through all the commentaries, and I think that even the weak episodes are good.

But maybe that's my excitement.

Quick! We'll protect you! Nah, we're just kidding. You're Federation cyclops chow  .

Welcome. Interesting about the Finland release. Is it like the Simpsons releases, where the case folds out?

[Reply #565 on:]

I watched the X-Mas message from David X Cohen... It cracked me up 

[Reply #566 on:]

Sigh. I feel like the Elves in Tolkiens books; fighting a loosing battle. Nevertheless, like the Elves, I keep fighting because it's the right thing to do!

"A Leela Of Her Own" is the most underrated episode in the entire run of Futurama.

In related news: I like the mentioning of CGEF in the "That's Lobstertainment" commentary.

[Reply #567 on:]

Dammit, a second (and hopefully final) complaint - I had to stop the table read halfway through, but then when I came back to it found that I was unable to fast forward :-(

Table read is great though, although the singing is quite painful!

Don't worry, you're not alone. I love 'A Leela of Her Own', and I don't get why it's so underrated either. I think it, along with 'A Tale of Two Santas' are the most underrated eps

My DVD still not having arrived yet, I can only gaze at the Amazon sales rank...now all the way up to Number 4 

[Reply #570 on:]

Mine still havent turned up down here either, they've lost their 4 day delivery record they had with me...

aww... I made myself sad

Edit: Well didnt come 2day either, wont come til tuesday now, as monday is a public holiday 

[Reply #571 on:]

I live in Australia and mine would have arrived if I had been home. I now have to wait til tuesday to pick them up from the PO.

[Reply #572 on:]

Post Office should be open 2moro scott

Edit: If you are in newcastle this is a good sign, means that amazon shipments go through sydney and then on to other cities, which should mean brisbane and melbourne should get theirs first thing Tuesday.

**Takes deep breath, closes eyes, opens them again

 damn its not tuesday yet!

[Reply #573 on:]

Gah. I was at university when the postman rang... Now I have to go fetch it at the post office myself (with edel) tomorrow... And won't have time to look at it much before tuesday or so ...

Same here.  Amazon UK usually takes about 4 days to reach me here in Ohio, but it hasn't turned up yet.  I'm hoping it will be there when I get home this evening.  It will suck if I have to wait until Monday to get it.

[Reply #575 on:]

All I really care is that I get mine by the 16th (the day my exams finish) which just happens to be the very last day of their expected release range (11th-16th)

I have an exam in 9hrs must sleep now

[Reply #576 on:]

I live in Missouri and just got my s3 set via the postage service, from Amazon.uk

[Reply #577 on:]

Haven't stopped watching it since i got it yesterday. Nearly watched every episode then its back for the commentaries. Gotta love Parasites lost, Amazon women, Luck of the fryish, Day the earth stood stupid, time keeps on slippin. And many more

The clips are rather sucky 

When I got mine from WHSmiths I was rather disappointed when I opened them to see what the disc pictures were like to find that the box contained no discs... somebody in the shop had forgotten to put them in the cases, luckily I was still in town and ran straight back and got them, had I not looked till I got home I'd have been a bit irate.

I've only watched a few episodes so far but I'm very happy with it 

I think A Leela of her own is a great episode as well 

[Reply #579 on:]

Yay!

::highfives Tweek and Otis::

I think both Maurice Lamarche and Tress Macneille are great in the auido commentaries. I didn't think it was possbile for someone to have a weirder voice than David Cohen, yet there is Tress having exactly that.

However I think having more than 2 voiceactors in an audio cemmentary is unfortunate. They tend to completely drown out the staff people (writer, director, producers).

[Reply #580 on:]

I dunno, the bit in the "Pharoah to Remember" commentary where Billy West (as Fry) bemoans Leela's slave garb not showing her cleavage was funny.

[Reply #581 on:]

Yeah, I thought so too. I also like how they re-animated the "BEEP ... BEEP ... BEEP BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP-BEEP" scene "Insane In The Mainframe" 4 times. 

[Reply #582 on:]

For me, the shiniest moment on the S3 DVD's is this:

Show spoiler

Fry: Noticably F.A.T. Rewind the tape!

Gotta love that.

I'm gonna find the framegrab.  I feel a new avvy/siggy coming on.

Also, don't forget, 35 is a good number to remember if you can't read that pesky alien language   .

Ah, someone remembered ... if you're wondering "why 35", it was originally supposed to be 3000 (referring to the year Fry is unfrozen), but, of course, there is no way to access 3000 on a DVD. So, in a convoluted way, it's 3K (and K on a phone key pad is represented by the number 5).

[Reply #585 on:]

Oooh, I got mine today.  I just finished watching "Amazon Women in the Mood" and "Parasites Lost".  Now I have to figure out while my DVD player is aliasing the images so much.  I hope my PAL/NTSC convertor isn't dying.

[Reply #587 on:]

got mine yesterday. am currently going through The Cyber House Rules.

it sounds like the commentaries are a bit censored in a few places. Lobstertainment has a period of 88 seconds where nothing is said.

[Reply #588 on:]

The finnish box set is is an ordinary amaray case, except it opens on three different places and it's this huge damn thing. I'll try to find a picture of it and post it here later on.

Anyway, I got thru the whole season yesterday.
S3 has the best episodes I've seen "The Day The Earth Stood Stupid" is probably the best. But from the three seasons I'd say the worst episode isn't "A Leela Of Her Own", but "The Cryonic Woman".

Also S3 seems to have the best commentaries of the lot. So far I have gotten thru the first disc and they're all top-notch.

Well, I guess, that #Nobody cares, nobody cares, nobody cares...Nobody cares, etc.#

And on many of the audio commentries, you can hear Dimaggio doing a human beatbox, quite funny 

[Reply #591 on:]

Some Good News I guess:

Vigin was sold out of the DVD

Charts in WHSmiths


Futurama - no 5!

Charts in Woolworths

Futurama no 10

No thats not bad for the first week out is it.

You don't really need to translate it, just press "35" on your DVD remote and it shows you the translation (the background says "FOX" by the way).

[Reply #594 on:]

How are the "How to Draw Leela and Fry" sections displayed?

[Reply #595 on:]

Just as a sequence of slides, with instructions. Fry's is on the Parasites Lost bathroom wall.

[Reply #596 on:]

And Leela's is in an art gallery, with various pictures from within episodes on display. A nice touch is that you get half of a picture on one frame, and the second half on the other.

As Leela tries to blow up Benders tomb destillery, and Bender jumps in to stop her.

West and DiMaggio does the entire commentary in Fry's and Bender's voice.

West/Fry: "I miss her cleavege."
*laughter*
West/Fry: "You know, I'm a guy. We need visuals."
Cohen: "It is amazing that they gave her this skimpy leather suit, but it had a really high neckline like that, isn't it?"
*silence*
Cohen: "I guess it's not. It's not amazing. Noone else was amazed."
*snickering*
Moore: "Standard slave garb."
DiMaggio/Bender: "They put Amy in a trashy oufit."
Cohen: "It just seems you animators, Rich, are always trying to use the skimpiest possible costume, but you didn't here."
Moore: "Getting some thighs there."
West/Fry: "Look at the...."
DiMaggio/Bender: "That's some serious action down below."
Moore: "Cut very high, and look at...."
DiMaggio/Bender: (singing) "She got the fire down below!"
Moore: "The armpits and the..."
Cohen: "You call that skimpy!?"
