I really wish DXC would tell the others to shut the fuck up because us fans really don't appreciate when something interesting is going on onscreen and instead of talking about it, they go on about random BS that we really could care less about, very annoying. There are some movies that don't even have commentaries. In fact, most television shows don't have commentaries as well, and if they ever did, it's only for particular episodes. Matt Groening's shows are the only shows that I know of that make commentaries for every episode. So, we're pretty lucky that we get commentaries for every single episode, plus commentary for any extras such as the Futurama video game mash-up. However, I do understand your pain. Though you can't exactly control a commentary (which is pretty much just a recording of a conversation that is going on as they watch an episode or movie), the crew could try to reach out to the audience a bit more. The only time that anybody could get in contact with all of them at once is at Comic Con, and even there the only questionare time they allow is during their hour-long presentation, which the first third is spent introducing the cast and crew and showing clips.

Originally posted by RogerWilco81: Call me a softy, but I like seeing Fry interacting with his fam and Semyoure. Don't get me wrong, I like that too, it's what made Luck of the Fryish and Jurassic Bark so great. The problem is that BBS rewrote those stories ending... and it ruined the emotional appeal of those episodes respectively. The number 9 guy is a character in Futurama that pops up in the background from time to time. He was a side gag and explanation about future society that never got explained; specifically in the future there are people (possibly everyone) identified only by numbers. The number 9 guy wears a long white shirt with a big 9 on it... hence us calling him the number 9 guy. I actually got into this discussion in the chatroom yesterday. Edit: I like the ridiculousness of the Futurama commentaries... They're more enjoyable to listen to than any other commentaries I've heard before. I do understand why you're upset though... at times I would enjoy more technical explanations of things, but there is a decent amount of that in them as well.

You're absolutely right, and I'll even go so far as to say their commentaries are better than most(Just listen to an ATHF commentary for example), but yet half the time this is just because DXC is pulling things in the right direction.

Exactly, they could try a little harder to make it worth our time and cast insight on things that we'd obviously have questions about.
