Should the Futurama DVDs have Science Fiction as a Genre?
The other two I would suggest would be Animation and Comedy.

I'm rather curious what prompted a poll. 

Bender's Big Score did it.
Then I checked all the online Futurama R1 set profiles and none had Sci-Fi as a Genre.

Or, rather, very very few do (think I saw maybe two in my random sampling.)  Most are Comedy/Television/Animation.
Personally, I agree with adding SciFi.... tho this calls into question which should get bumped.  I find TV to be a waste of an otherwise useful genre slot in my own collection (used a tag instead), but... that's just me.

You can only assign three genres though, so I would leave out Television.

I'd leave out comedy - but that's only cos I just don't get what is funny about it??  
I sit there blank faced whilst my son rolls around watching it 

I don't know, I think that's more just marketing. The end credits list four separate production numbers; this and the other movies are certainly produced with an eye to their eventual distribution as a sixteen-episode season, this movie version simply happens to be the first version they put out.

Well, television wouldn't apply to the new Futurama DVD anyway, so it solves the problem on that release at least.

It's a weird situation with these new Futurama DVDs. Three more are planned. Cartoon Network's syndication contract expires at the end of this year, and it will transfer to Comedy Central. Comedy Central will then have exclusive syndication rights for all 72 episodes, plus the four movies that are being released on DVD. Comedy Central plants to "split" each of the four new movies into four half hour episodes each.

So "Television" definitely still applies as a genre for these new DVDs.

I'm well aware of the situation behind the direct to DVD Futurama discs. Still, this one doesn't contain any episodes that have ever aired on television. Production numbers are production numbers, nothing more. Television doesn't apply because DVD does not contain any content that has ever aired on TV.

Anything that is released on DVD as it's primary initial form of distribution before being shown anywhere cannot be considered "television".

But the DVD release predates the TV airing.
