DVD Special Features

[on:]

Was anyone else just a LITTLE BIT upset to see the special features when they watched their brand new Futurama Boxed Sets?
Maybe they could've put a tine bit more in than just some stills, sketches and 3D images, or am I missing something really obvious?

Here's what I'd like to see:

Interviews with the voices of Futurama

A David X. Cohen and Matt Groening interview

Maybe some games, such as a Trivia Quiz, Hangman, mini-adventure games etc etc

Does anyone agree?

Well there are some easter eggs on the DVD box sets. Such as Interviews of Matt Groening (Season 1) and DXC (Season 2). Then there are commentary tracks to every episode, containing the vioce actors and writers / producers such as Matt Groening and DXC and so on...
Then there are table reads to few episdoes in Season 3 and 4. Drawing Guides on Fry, Bender, Leela and the Professor, Videos on 3d rendering, the already meantioned scripts and sheets of few Episodes... and and and..

I think that is enough, beside that they are on the edge of what is technical possible to fit on a DVD without losing to much video-quality.

Beside that, the DVDs are normally meant to be played in a DVD-player and not your PC or such. And as well know normal DVD players aren't a gaming console. What I mean is that it would be hard to even implement Games onto a normal Video DVD.

Cool, thanks germanfryfan
Yeah, I guess there is a lot, I didn't mean real games like PC ones though, more simple time wasting kind of games... hahahaha
But there is amusement to be found in many places...

This egg is on every disc of the Season 3 DVD box set. At the very beginning of each disc, after the legal stuff has finished, there is a lot of alien writing. When this appears, enter the number '35' for a translation.

All of series 4
On the 4th season DVD, when it's on the episode selection on the 4th disk, scroll down to "The devil's hands are idle playthings". Push left and it highlights an egg salad sandwich in the fridge, written in alienese. When translated, it says "This DVD includes a specially encoded Easter Egg which you are now meticulously translating from an alien language because you have no life and are a compulsive Nerdlinger(sic). How sad. Its especially sad if you don't speak English and you have to translate the alien language into English and then into your own tongue and you come upon a word like Nerdlinger, which really isn't a word at all, but still aptly describes someone who would actually translate such a word. Twice. And those of you who are reading this translation in a Futurama newsgroup aren't any better. We lurk on those newsgroups and we know what Nerdlingers you guys are, too. Of course you're also our biggest fans, which is sad in its own way. But, since you went to all this trouble to translate an Easter Egg, we do owe you something, so here's a secret about the show. The writers, producers, directors and most of the actors who worked on this show are all Nerdlingers, too."
The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings
On the last disc of the last season, go to the episode "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings". With "play episode" highlighted, click the up arrow on your remote. The Devil's hands will appear. Click enter. You will hear audio of the table reading (rehearsal) of the episode.
