Britt Gillette's Futurama (Season 3) DVD Review
A brainchild of Simpsons creator Matt Groening, Futurama launched itself into homes across the galaxy in Spring 1999. Employing the same quick wit and visual humor that has made The Simpsons one of the most successful shows in television history, Futurama (despite its early cancellation in August 2003) maintains its own loyal cult following…
Set one thousand years in the future, Futurama follows the life of a modern day American pizza delivery boy named Fry who finds himself reanimated 1,000 years after being accidentally cryogenically frozen. Brought back to life, Fry hunts down his great, great, great nephew - a tinkering scientist named Professor Farnsworth - and spends his days working for his distant relative's intergalactic delivery service alongside good friends, Leela (a female Cyclops) and Bender (a morally-challenged robot). As the characters (usually Fry and Bender) engage in various schemes throughout the universe, Professor Farnsworth and his crew meet up with a number of interesting characters and civilizations…
The Futurama (Season 3) DVD offers a number of hilarious episodes including the first on the DVD in which Fry ingests a bad egg-salad sandwich that subsequently makes him smarter and stronger. Professor Farnsworth concludes that intelligent worms have taken over Fry's body, and the crew must work together by shrinking themselves (a la Fantastic Voyage) in order to fight the parasites. But Leela has second thoughts, however, when she falls in love with the "worm-effected" Fry… Other notable episodes from Season 3 include "Amazon Women in the Mood" in which a planet of Amazon women sentences Fry and the rest of the male crew to death via abundant pleasure, and "That's Lobstertainment!" in which Dr. Zoidberg tries his hand at comedy and enlists the help of his uncle, Harold Zoid to help him… Season 3 features yet another proprietary alien language that viewers can decipher by studying signs and billboards throughout the various episodes…
