WHSmithOnline Online Book Shop: Books, Music, Stationery and More. Explore WHSmithOnline Online Today! - FUTURAMA SEASON 1 BOX SET - (DVD) Inventive very funny animated sitcom set in the future. A hapless delivery boy from the 20th century gets frozen and wakes up in 3001. From the creators of The Simpsons - and boy does it show. Anything new from Matt Simpsons Groening was always going to be eagerly anticipated and Futurama a gloriously twisted vision of the future was well worth the wait. Following the misadventures of Fry - a delivery boy from the twentieth century accidentally catapulted into the year 3001 (or there about) only to become ... a delivery boy - Groening obviously has a field day with his futuristic setting. The new world is actually somewhat nightmarish - full of inconveniently positioned advertising alcoholic robots and suicide booths. Fry himself is a likable idiot but the best characters include the one-eyed Leela and the abusive robot Bender (imagine Homer without the good nature). Visually impressive (the animation has gone up a notch since The Simpsons) the series is spectacularly inventive and very very funny. Well worth a look.
