The only way I will buy Futurama again is if they converted everything to high def, but it's probably too costly a venture to do (all CG has to be rerendered, all art rescanned and that's just doing it without going widescreen).

so in other words its a good thing i didnt pick this up at comic con

How is $170 a good deal???

The individual sets alone usually go for around $30 to $35 each, sometimes less. That means this really should be around a $120 to $140...

Well, as long as the new episodes don't have Billy West, Katey Segal, and the rest of the original cast of voice actors, they don't count as "Futurama episodes" (it's some other lame knockoff of Futurama confusingly named Futurama)... so this DVD set will always be the full series. Unless they work out a deal with the original cast to come do the new eps.

This is actually a pretty good deal. It's a shame they don't have a Blu-ray box set available of this. I think a lot of DVD owners would buy that box set.. or at least some.

It's remarkable its been on the air for ten years though it doesn't feel like it.

I suppose that is because there was no new content from 2003 to 2007 and when there was new content it was in movie form with each movie being released a wide lenght apart.

I hope this show comes back and does well there is a lack of quality animation on the tv at the moment.
