Quote: Danny said: I own the first three seasons on DVD now. I plan to buy the fourth as soon as I have money (they put the first three on special when the fourth came out, so I got those three. I still don't have the still-at-full-price fourth. So there).
The most fascinating part of the commentaries and stuff, to me anyway, is finding out more about the voice actors, and learning exactly how much they contribute to the show. I'm surprised by exactly how many voices people like Dave Herman and Billy West (Stimpy!) contribute to the show. And, as always, Phil Lamarr fucking rocks in everything he does. "Look deep in your heart and ask yourself... are you funky enough to be a globetrotter? ARE YOU?!" Voice acting is an area in which I suddenly have some interest...
I particularly liked the commentaries on the third season. It was great hearing Maurice LaMarche. His real voice sounds almost exactly like the Brain. And it's great how Billy West and John Di Maggio are cracking jokes the whole time. I forget what episode it was, but one of the commentaries in season 3 three of the voice actors did Zoidberg imitations (Well, Billy West did one of them) the other two were so good I couldn't tell who the real one was. There are great voice actors on Futurama and the cast is very different from the one on the Simpsons. The only regular they have in common is Frank Welker, but Frank Welker is in the cast of virtually every quality cartoon series ever made.
