Originally Posted By Shooba I'm delighted this show is back. I'll rent the DVD at the very least. Friends of mine are going to far as to throw a Futurama party.

Also, assuming the DVD is full-price, we'll eventually be paying $100 or so for what amounts to 16 episodes of a TV show.
Originally Posted By hightp I intend to pick up a copy. I loved the show when it was 1st on, and really enjoyed the DVDs. I was hoping there would be enough interest in the new movies to bring the series back on a regular basis.

Originally Posted By Santa Monica I think it could have been a tad funnier, but I thought the entire story was brilliant and touching. Just about part of it fits within the story they've told thus far.

I would recommend to others to pause it 2 or 3 times and take a break. I also thought that the slam against Fox was overdone. Yeah, you're pissed they cancelled the show, get over it!
