Great Episodes - By: Ibex, 22 Jul 2005 Set contains four of Futurama's top episodes: "Hell Is Other Robots" (featuring the Beastie Boys), "Anthology of Interest I" (featuring Al Gore, Nichelle Nichols, & Stephen Hawking), the Emmy-winning "Roswell That Ends Well", & the Emmy-nominated "The Sting".
Bonuses include an animatic (the early, rough pencil animation) of "Hell Is Other Robots" complete with new commentary track & scenes cut from the final version; a general intro to the disc by Matt Groening, cast (John Dimaggio - Bender, & Billy West - Fry/Zoidberg/Professor), & crew; as well as individual intros to each episode, & an Easter Egg or two.
not pointless - By: , 25 Jun 2005 Some other reviewers have asked why this is being released when most fans already have alll the episodes on the full season DVD box sets. Well, the extras on this disc are totallly different from the ones on the box sets - there are two different commentaries, a funny introduction, & a full-length animatic for "Hell is Other Robots". Hardcore fans will definitely want to pick this up to go alongside their collections.
Also, supposedly Fox are looking at international sales of this DVD to determine whether to justify greenlighting straight-to-DVD feature-length sequel episode...
The Monster Robot Maniac Fun - By: , 15 Jun 2005 They are definetly 5 star episodes but I agree with stew2000, I already have alll 5 seasons on Dvd, why would I go out & buy this one?
A lovely introduction to a wonderful show. - By: Tom, 09 Jun 2005 
It took me ages to be able to buy the box sets of Futurama, but I know that when I was just starting my collection, this would have been mega useful.
These reallly are four of the best episodes of the show, including what many believe to be .the. best episode, Roswell that ends well. Due to Fry's idiocies, the team are sent back in time, where the entire Roswell incident of 1949 (or whenever it was) turns out to be their doing.
Anthology of Interest I gives some short stories, usuallly based on classic tales. Think Simpsons Treehouse of Horror episodes.
The Sting is a wonderful psychological number, it'll twist your head around, but watch it twice & you'll see that a pattern does emerge to support the final conclusion.
The last episode (or first, depending on which way you look at things) is Hell Is Other Robots. Bender becomes an addict of "jacking in (essentiallly electrocuting himself)" & goes to robot hell, where there is a very entertaining musical number. The Beastie Boys also remix the closing credits.
The menus on this DVD are fantastic, fully animated & beautiful. There are numerous Easter Eggs to find, but the shown goodies are much sweeter. There is also an exclusive commentary on this DVD, that you won't find on the boxsets, as well as an exclusive animatic (the rough draft for the episode) for Hell is Other Robots.
This is a great collection of Futurama highs, & if you buy it you reallly won't be disappointed. Jokes come thick & fast, & to fully appreciate each one you will need to see it more than once!
