As if the OP needs another confirmation at this point, start at the start.
The first few episodes are a cohorent unit that establish everything. After that, it gets pretty episodic but there’s enough continuity and callbacks to make it rewarding to follow the episode order.
I’ve seen all the episodes that were on Fox, and the 1st DVD. Where do I go from here? The rest of the direct-to-DVD stuff, or the Comedy Central stuff?
thanks

When I watched S1, I was absolutely amazed to discover how many cultural references I was by then well familiar with came from Futurama. So start there, so you can finally realize what the heck everyone’s talking about.
I THINK the ‘DVD Movies’ were all broken up into episodes. Did you see the ‘spammer aliens’ bit, the ‘universe-sized-tentacle-rape-monster’ bit, the ‘D&D parody’ bit and the ‘universe-sized golf course’ bit?
If so, there may be nothing left but the new seasons.
I am the greetest! Now I am leaving Earth forever, for no raisin!
<3 Futurama, start at S1E1. You won’t regret it.
The 1st Comedy Central episode picks up right from the end of the last DVD episode, so if you skip the DVDs you’ll miss out on a few plot details. That being said, the 2nd and 3rd “movies” are kinda weak compared to the 1st, but the 4th is entertaining enough.
I would be very angry should you choose to start anywhere other than the first episode. But it’s not you; it’s just that these balls are making me testy.
Even I laughed at me when I invented this alien cross-species episode selector, but I guess I showed myself!
I’m going to establish my OWN episode viewing order . . . with Blackjack! and Hookers! . . . in fact, FORGET the episodes!
And the blackjack.
This. You cannot properly call yourself a Doper without having first assimilated all of Futurama.
ETA: Just don’t expect anybody IRL getting what you said. I suspect Dopers are the only people who watch it, but we are legion.
Haven’t you heard of a little thing called “showmanship?”
It’s just as well. Earth is a world of spelling errors and plot holes.
No I’m… doesn’t.
Don’t watch Jurassic Bark unless you are willing to cry. And, yeah, start with the first episode. I’d say the first few are essential for truly understanding the premise, and there are some really satisfying callbacks later.
Please, no more violence. We have already seen far too many bodybags and ballsacks!
But they told me you guys looked like jerks.
Watch Futurama in order. After you watch the season 4 episode “The Why of Fry” go back and watch the very first episode from season one… then revel in brilliance of the writer of the series.
Don’t listen to him! He’s the father of all lies, and the uncle of all tricks!
They look like dorks! :mad:
(I know you said jerks, but my inner pedant couldn’t justify posting an incorrect Futurama quote.)
