Futurama, Vol. 8

Exactly as described it came in brand new, and everything is in perfect working order

The final half of the final season of Futurama doesn't disappoint (save for the fact its the last).The packaging, like the other volumes, is a great design. The artwork and color is a nice addition to the dvd shelf, the only problem is the cover art is so good it beckons a Full Display. Which, lets face it, is an awesome problem to have.The episodes are brilliant, the commentary is the full flung fun its always been full of nerdy facts, technical tidbits and insight into a lot of the writing and voice work.For the fourth time, I own the entire dvd collection of Futurama. A weird notion. Speaking of, the Series Finale 'Meanwhile', as it currently stands, is among the better episodes and is certainly on par with the previous (at the time written) Series Finales; The Devils Hands Are Idle Playthings, Into the Wild Green Yonder and Overclockwise.A bitter sweet addition to the collection to be sure but considering the talent everyone behind this show has, the potential for further stories and its past reluctance to stay dead I'm sure that in the not-so-distant future I will be again buying new volumes of Futurama

This is the final episodes of Futurama, at least for now. While the crew would like to do more, and the fans would love to see more, I am not really certain that the show can be picked up again. A shame, really, if you ask me.So more on topic, this is the final season of the show, showcasing some of the brilliance that made the show worth watching in its finals hours. The final episode ended in a touching manner that I really respected and thought was a nice way to end the series... on a moment that was both happy and sad.If you are new to the series, you can jump in with this volume and not be lost, but you would be missing out to not see other episodes, and the movies. If you are a series vet, you know what to expect and this volume gives plenty of it.The end of a respectable series... Quite worth a rent, Netflix, Stream, whatever. Buy it to add, or start, a collection of the series.

NOTE to Futurama fans and potential buyers: This is the SECOND HALF of Season 7. If you're confused by the "Volume 1-7" series (which, fyi, are 2-disc sets of half-seasons; and, if you're looking for Seasons 5-7, here is what you'll need to know:SEASON 5 = is officially the collection of 4 Futurama "Movies" ('Big Score', 'Beast', 'Bender's Game', 'Green Yonder')SEASON 6 = Volume 5 (First 1/2 of the Season; 2 disc set) AND Volume 6 (Second 1/2 of the Season 2 disc set)SEASON 7 = Volume 7 (First 1/2 of the Season; 2 disc set) AND Volume 8 (Second 1/2 of the Season 2 disc set)Unfortunately, I can't personally speak to the Volumes 1-4 as I have the original Seasons 1-4 dvds.

Some people say The Simpsons is one of the best animated comedies ever be my wife would beg to disagree and say future grandma is one of the best comedies of all time. We love getting The DVD and Blu-ray because we get seeing extra scene deleted scene and we especially love the commentary with the entire cast and staff it is almost as hilarious as the show itself. Other times in the past when the show is ended it has not felt like the end and something would come along and resurrected like he did with the movie and coming back on the show again. Unless somebody online picks it up for another service I am fearful to say that this might be the end I just can't wait to The Simpsons Futurama crossover that's supposed to be scheduled for the season

This is confusing. Episode 13 on the sleeve says "Meanwhile". That's episode 13 of season 10 according to IMDB. So why is this volume 8? I watched the episode and it is the 10 second back in time.Quality is VG but I expected to see season 8, not 10 so I can't give it 5 stars.

While still better than almost anything else out there, its obvious that Futurama 2.0 was running out of juice. I'm of the opinion that the newer seasons have all been inferior to the end of the original run, but only because Volume 3+4 are almost completely golden. My favorite 2.0 episodes are The Late PJF, A Clockwork Origin (my fav 2.0), Overclockwise, Reincarnation (Anime and 8 Bit), so you get my tastes.But on to Volume 8, when I first watched it on TV on a marathon, I was horribly disappointed, but upon subsequent viewings, I found much more to like. My favorites are Fry and Leela's Big Fling, and the GI Zapp segment of "Fun Pit" ranks up there with the best of any 3 parter. The rest is pretty disappointing (and awful by Futurama standards), I didnt laugh once the first time I saw 40%LB, and I was literally mad at Meanwhile. It was basically the same finale as "Stargate", where in the end nothing really happened (plus everyone was stuck in purgatory or killed).If you are a Futurama fanatic, you definitely have to get this, but if you like Futurama, and vol 7 disappointed you, skip vol 8. Its my hope that they will get one or two more movies and wrap it up.

The only complaint I really have about this is the packaging. If you're not careful with removing the discs from it, you could scratch or damage them. However I am one of these people who is very careful with my movies and it wasn't a problem for me, I am just mentioning this so that other buyers are aware. On a different note, this volume probably has the best graphics of all of them, when it comes to the neon-colored Hypnotoad. All glory to Hypnotoad.This is the last of the show's volumes so of course any Futurama fan is going to want it to see how it all turns out.

If you had to plot a graph of how Futurama has kept constantly entertaining over the years there would be only a few lows and plenty of highs. it ends mostly on highs with the final episode being one of those 'gulp' moments in the same way the Seymour episode was.13 episodes that go by too quickly. Nearly all the best characters are brought back,no Santa for instance, but Zapp, Calculon, Roberto, Nibbler, Mom, the Fry family etc are all here.Just make sure you can handle Region 1 though as there is to date still no Region 2.

This has been an excellent purchase. My son really liked it and rated it as funny as the earlier series with no drop off in quality of content. It worked fine in our DVD player even though it is Region 1. The US version was available at a time when a Region 2 DVD wasn't apparently available and it was much cheaper. Delivery was very quick from the USA. Packaging is cardboard, but is completely adequate. Highly recommended in every way.

Futurama gets five stars, every time. But the quality of this DVD brings my rating way down! It's pixilated and garbled. I vaguely remember we had the same problem with volume 7. Very dissapointed.

I bought futurama6 through to futurama8. Futurama8 was poorly packaged and the DVD menu was very basic and of no entertainment value. The shows are good.

This is a copy from Germany but still plays in English. Plus all extras!.
