Release Date:
27 November 2007 (USA)
4 April 2008 (UK)

So they want us to to steal or import this?

Do want.
Will have.
Will probably purchase if not shit.

How many series were there? I've got four but I keep thinking I'm missing one.

Yes, yes they do. It's the only logical explanation for such a difference in release date.

That's rather excessive differences.

Probably have to wait for the Atlantic ocean to fill up before they can ship stuff over on a boat.

Or they're hoping that the $ will swell and the £ will shrink.

You see, the price of a strong economy.

Simultaneous worldwide releases FTW.

There is indeed. I thought there was only 4 and I was looking at it yesterday.

Post by **Dog Pants** » November 2nd, 2007, 12:37

Hmm. Wikipedia and my DVD collection say 4. Any links to where I can find out about (or preferably buy) season 5? Is it available on region 2?

EDIT: Unless you mean season 5 is the impending season cut from the movies?

Post by **Dr. kitteny berk** » November 2nd, 2007, 12:41

There is 5 seasons, AFAIK. the new one will be season 6.

doesn't look like season 5 is on region 2.

I went by what it says on IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0149460/episodes#season-1

But you're right, it doesn't appear to be on DVD.

there are 5 AIRING seasons, but only 4 PRODUCTION seasons, the DVD box sets are based on production seasons and thus there are four of those

the link in spoodie's post pretty mush said that, but with less shouting

But he did take the time to type it out, have 1 Internet Point.

Isn't Futurama hugely popular? I can't see why they never released the last series.

Read up, they did. There were only 4 series' produced, FOX stretched and chopped it into 5 airing seasons.

Still can't believe FOX cancelled it. Muppets.

Post by **Dog Pants** » November 15th, 2007, 17:26

Ah right, so I'm not missing out on any episodes then? As far as I know, Fox had a long standing issue with Matt Groening. He was constantly making digs at them in The Simpsons, but they couldn't retaliate because it was one of their best selling shows. When he did the same in Futurama they didn't have the same problem, so snip it went. I'd have thought someone else would have taken it up, but maybe Fox still hold the copyright.

spoodie · Post by **spoodie** » November 21st, 2007, 15:03

It's .. erm .. available.

It's okay, not a laugh riot or anything but watchable enough. There's plenty of references to the episodes and homages from other sources, for the geeks like me. The major (and maybe predictable) problem is that the plot seems overstretched.
