It started late in Volume 2, pervaded Volume 3, and I can't get through more than half an episode in Volume 4 now. Why does David Cohen seem to think he's the reason for the audio commentary track? I just loved the commentary on Volume 1 and most of 2, where we get to hear Maurice LaMarche and John DiMaggio and the amazing Billy West and, incidentally, the brains behind the whole thing, Matt Groening. I just watched most of "Leela's Homeworld" and I must say that Cohen's lines like "oh no, she's mutated!" and other idiotic joke explanations, along with his, no offense intended, WAY over-the-top obsessive-geek-fan tripe make me want to chuck a shoe through my TV. I had a much better time listening to Billy West explain the origins of his Zoidberg voice than listening to Cohen drone inaccurately about how you can't tell how long a computer program will run. WGAS? Not I. Thank you for the soapbox.

yes, I dont think the quality of the commentaries has faded at all.
I still find the Season4 ones just as good as the one's from the first season.

I would agree (meaning the commentaries are great). I actually generally prefer hearing the crew of the show over the actors. Of course that IS a general comment, I also enjoy the actors immensely. But I find learning about the jokes I didn't catch (sorry, but I'm not a computer science major) or the little bits about how they did this shot or that shot or whatever is really interesting, and David Cohen gives great insight into those things in my opinion.

I thought the commentaries were great, I certainly never got annoyed by anything DXC said, oh well everybody has their own point of view.

Sheesh...I feel Mr. X. (S.) Cohen's commentary is among the most entertaining. Too touchy guys.
Futurama rules. Now we need a whole new series...horror themed.
over and out.

The only bad thing I can think of in the season 4 commentaries is that in some episodes there are too many big gaps where no one is saying anything.
DXC is a bit of a motormouth in them, but that's only because he has so much to say in so little time. He's not being arrogant or anything.
