UPDATE 11/28:
Apparently I've caused some confusion with my wording above. I said "Chock-full of episodes from the 3rd and 4th Seasons of the show", and some of you have taken this to mean that ALL of the episodes from those airdate seasons would be included in the set. This is not the case. As
Futurama fans know, these episodes were aired by the Fox Network wildly out-of-order from their production schedule, and airdates were often delayed due to football games running long.
The 22 episodes included on this set are all the ones that were produced during the "third season production run", but this is a prime example where the "production seasons" and the "airdate seasons" don't quite match up (which is why Fox Home Ent. refers to this as "
Futurama - Volume 3" instead of
"Season 3"). Episodes "produced for Season 3" ended up getting aired during Seasons 3 and 4...one was aired during Season 5!
To clear things up, here are the episodes that will be found on the
Futurama - Volume 3 set:
