In one of the best episodes, Bender is given a "feelings" chip in order to empathize with Leela after he flushes Nibbler down the toilet. Elsewhere, Fry falls in love with a mermaid when the team discover the lost city of Atlanta, Fry and Bender end up going to war after they join the army to get a discount on gum, and John Goodman guest stars as Santa Claus, an eight-foot gun-toting robot. Brimful with blink-and-you'll-miss-them hip jokes (such as the sign for the Taco Bellevue hospital) and political and pop satire, Futurama isn't a stern warning of things to come but rather, as the makers put it, "a brilliant, hilarious reflection of our own materially (ridiculously) overdeveloped but morally underdeveloped society." --David Stubbs

Customer Reviews of Futurama, Vol. 2
a Fantastic Addition to any fan of these type of shows Simpsons, Family Guy, King of the Hill, Futurama. These 4 "Adult" Cartoon shows broadcast by Fox are all great in their own way. Sadly Family Guy and Futurama, which i thought could have even beat the Simpsons were cancelled after only a short run. I don't know what fox was thinking but Family Guy never really got established. Back to Futrama however, unlike the Simpsons, it's first season, since it was started by Matt Groening in about 1999, had highly polished and well done animation. Also unlike the simpsons, its animation hasnt changed drastically which I think is fine cause it's really great. The first season was awesome, the only drawback was its 13 episodes is a little short. This, along with simpsons season 3 are the ones I've been waiting for. All episodes from season 2 plus three from season 3 are rumored to be on this set. The complete list is as follows (19 episodes) Running Time: over 7 hours =)
1. I second that emotion
2. Brannigan begin again
3. A head in the polls
4. Xmas story
5. Why must I be a crustacean in love?
6. Put your head on my shoulder
7. Lesser of two evils
8. Raging bender
9. A bicyclops built for two
10.How Hermes requisitioned his groove back
11.A clone of my own
12.The deep south
13.Bender gets made (AKA Bendfellas)
14.The problem with popplers
15.Mother's day
16.Anthology of interest I
17.War is the h-word
18.The honking
19.The cryonic woman
Bottom Line:
Pure Genius
Futurama Will Keep us Laughing for Years.
I've always had a place in my heart for Futurama. In fact, it could probably beat the Simpsons as of late. Unlike Family Guy, another of my favorites, it didn't go over the top and wasn't usually offensive. So of course, I loved this set. It has 19 episodes on four discs. The picture and sound are both great. Episodes are:
I second that emotion- Bender learns emotion. 4/5
Brannigan, Begin Again-Zapp joins planet express-3/5
A Head in the Polls-Bender pawns his body-3/5
Xmas Story- Future Santa Claus is evil-5/5
Why Must I Be A crustacean in love-Zoidberg attempts to mate-3/5
The lesser of two evils- Bender meets twin Flexo-4/5
Put Your Head on my Shoulders- Fry dates Amy-4/5
Raging Bender- Bender Boxes-4/5
A bicyclops built for two- Leela meets another cyclops-3/5
A clone of my own- Proffesor Farnsworth clones himself-3/5
How Hermes Requisitioned his Groove Back- nothing to say-5/5
The Deep South- Fry meets a mermaid- 4/5
Mother's Day- the robots rebel-4/5
The Problem with Popplers- Leela discovers a tasty new food-4/5
Anthology of Interest 1- 3 stories- 5/5
War is the H-Word- Fry and Bender join the army-4/5
The Honking- Bender is chased by a car-5/5
The Cryonic Woman- Fry's ex unthaws in the future-4/5

Volume Two: The Most Consistent
While Volumes Three and Four of Futurama contain most of the all-time great episodes (along with some of the worst as well), I believe Volume Two to be the most consistently good. "Anthology of Interest I," "War is the H-Word," "Put Your Head on My Shoulders," "X-Mas Story", and "A Head in the Polls" are among the best, with Dr. Zoidberg's "Why Must I Be A Crustacean in Love?" possibly being the funniest (if you like Zoidberg). Overall, it's pretty hard to find a poorly done piece, and almost every episode has enough good points to watch it over again. The only problem is, while all of this stuff is good, it's rarely "great." After all, it is the later episodes that become both funnier and more emotionally rendered, and here everything is simply well-done. This is NOT a bad point, however, because the quality of this Volume is amazing. Again, almost EVERY episode here is good. Buy it.
