To those who think Futurama still had some life left in it, what other episode ideas could Futurama had done? Would've like to have seen....

How about one where Hermes and Zoidberg get a skin transplant after an explosion? Hermes is now the lowly doctor and Zoidberg becomes a gangsta!

A Green Hornet parody would be cool. Bender and Hermes secretly have a moonlight job where they are the Green Hornet and Kato. They go find where ever there is crime and stop it. While this is going on, Fry, Leela, Zoidberg, and Amy do deliveries. However, Bender as the Green Hornet and Hermes as Kato are considered by some people in NNY as criminals, too. Fry gets jealous and is bound and determined to find out what Bender and Hermes are up to. Fry fears his friendship with Bender is about to be over, and Leela advises him to move on and forget it. Zoidberg and Amy tell Fry they will always be his friends.

Then one day, Fry follows Bender and Hermes as the Green Hornet and Kato without them knowing and Fry becomes targeted by alien drug dealers they were after. Then the drug dealers follow Fry and wait for the right time to attack. The alien drug dealers take everyone hostage (yes, even Leela) and take them to a boating dock where they are all tied to chairs and about to enter a death trap where Fry, Leela, Zoidberg, and Amy are all about to get an 800 metric ton weight dropped on their heads. Bender and Hermes come back to Planet Express and see signs of foul play. Then it's up to them to track down the drug dealers, free their friends and save the day!


There should be one where they go to a Western planet that has a drunken mayor. Then the townspeople make Bender the new mayor, and want him to improve the place. However, the townspeople are terrified of some Bandits called The Jonas Boys who are terrorizing their planet.

Bender, Leela, Fry, and the rest help the townspeople to fight back. Once they do, the Jonas Boys capture Zoidberg. Then Fry, Leela, Bender, Hermes, and Amy all stock up on weapons even a cannon. They all rescue Zoidberg and lead the Jonas Boys into a trap where the townspeople finally come together and defeat them once and for all.

This idea is based on those James Garner 'Support Your Local Sheriff' movies.

Also, a parody of Mr. and Mrs. Smith with Bender and Fanny would be cool, too!

And one where Zoidberg accidently drinks some spaceship polish and gets hit on the head with the bottle and becomes a butler named "Zoi-Derick!" And everyone hates his classy ways. Leela can tell everyone they should respect him, and Fry and Bender can say, "Zoi-Derick!" YUCK! Then later everyone gets fed up with Zoidberg's newfound neatness and cleaniness and goes somewhere that's filthy. And Zoidberg messes up by triying to cook duck l'orange and lights an oven that blows up the building.


Plus one where the PE Crew goes on a ski resort and they have snow statues attack them, and it all turns out to be some ruse made up by some goof-off college kids from Mars University. And why not give Leela and Amy their own episode? Maybe one where they go to a desert planet and have to save Scruffy from being assassinated by Mummies.

I thought Bender was going to get his own spin-off show

I'd like to see more cartoons like the Scrooge McDuck Comics (I think Groening may have had that in mind).

These all sound great. I can see these being made if Futurama stayed on for one more year.

Wow thank you! Here's two more I thought up of:


All In Or Nothing:


Say, since Futurama did some sports-themed episodes like baseball, basketball, and even curling in a comic book, why not soccer?


Planet Express is in debt and on the verge of foreclosure. If that isn't bad enough that our heroes are on the brink of going to the unemployment line, some aliens from the planet Striker challange Earth to a soccer match. The soccer playing aliens challange the Planet Express Crew. Farnsworth makes a robotic soccer team and the aliens from Striker beat the robot team. Then Fry, Leela, Bender, Hermes, Amy, Scruffy, and Zoidberg form into a soccer team. The aliens tell them if the PE Crew wins, they will win a whole bunch of money to save Planet Express from forecloure, if the aliens win, the planet Striker will shame Earth in soccer forever. The Planet Express crew all end up competing against the aliens from Striker in the 3014 Fifa Universe Cup! (Let's face it, Futurama should've done a World Cup themed episode. Lord knows The Simpsons have done one)





How about another episode with the Slurm Worms?



Fuel On The Hill:


Farnsworth is making some rocket fuel. He needs one more ingredient for it to make it complete. Once he gets the key ingredient, he falls asleep and starts to sleepwalk. Then Farnsworth unwittingly walks into a Wormulon colony where the Slurm Worms live and mistakenly takes some new Slurm called Moon Rock Berry and puts the rocket fuel in with the Slurm Worms. The next day at Madison Cuber Garden, the Slurm Worms announce a new flavor of Moon Rock Berry Slurm on the news. Linda and Morbo are on the scene to report it and the spectators drink the Slurm and they all die of stomach explosions. Fry, Bender, Leela, Hermes, Amy, and Zoidberg are all watching this on TV when Farnsworth annouces his new rocket fuel. He opens the vial and it everyone discovers it smells like the new Slurm. The Slurm Worms find out that it was Farnsworth who unwittingly switched the new Slurm for rocket fuel. Then the Slurm Worms break into Planet Express, and capture everyone (even Leela, too) and take them back to Wormulon. Once they all arrive on Wormulon, Bender, Leela, Hermes, Amy, and Zoidberg all get locked in an attic and are marked for execution while Farnsworth and Fry are taken into a laboratory forced to make Moon Rock Berry Slurm and the rocket fuel. Fry gets mistaken for Farnsworth's assisant so they interrogate him about the ingredients to the rocket fuel, but Fry doesn't know nothing about science. The Slurm Worms want Farnsworth's rocket fuel so the Slurm Worm can build bomb with it to destroy Earth! How will the Planet Express crew escape from this one?

These are great examples of why this show had more life in it.

True that, King of Comedy! Here's some more I thought up of:


Poltergenes:

Cubert comes back from boarding school for Spring Break. Farnsworth and Cubert plan for some father/son bonding by doing some science expirements. But then they recall how they did that during Overclockwise. They remembered how much trouble they got for that, so Planet Express gets relocated to an Indian Burial Ground.* *Then strange ghostly things start happening around PE.* Floating objects, stacked up chairs, and a portal through the TV that leads into another dimension.* Farnsworth finds out it's a poltergiest who's genes are old and wants something young to restore it's youth.* (namely, a child) The PE Crew find some help with a shapeshifting psychic medium.*(Jon Hamm does the voice of the psychic medium) Cubert gets sucked into the TV and ends up in the lair of an Indian Elf who wants Cubert's genes to preserve his youth.* It's up to Fry, Leela, Bender, Hermes, Amy, and Zoidberg to save him.


Fixing Bad (A Breaking Bad spoof):

Bender is in debt to the Spark gang from Freewill Hunting.* He asks Hermes for help since Hermes is rich.* He agrees to help Bender, but in another way.* Bender and Hermes go get into alcohol and tabacco bootlegging and start to make money that way.* Bender sells his to minors.* Then the Spark Gang deals drugs and gets more costumers.* Fry fears he is losing Bender to Hermes.* *Off. Smitty and URL get word of what the Spark Gang and Bender and Hermes are doing so they send Zapp to investigate.* Zapp goes to scope it out, but he gets severly sidetracked which pleases Kiff who enjoyed seeing Zapp go down.* The Spark Gang threaten Bender and Hermes they'll turn them in if they don't stop selling to minors, they don't listen.* *Fry hates that Bender and Hermes are selling drugs and beer so he keep telling them over and over how wrong it is.* *The Spark Gang also demand some of their money they Bender and Hermes made.* The Spark Gang captures Fry and stuffs him in a suitcase.* Then Bender and Hermes are advised to meet them at a warehouse.* The Spark Gang* is at the warehouse with Fry in a suitcase and then Bender and Hermes get into a Mr. and Mrs. Smith style gunfight with the Spark Gang.* Bender was secretly building a huge weapon to blow away the Spark Gang and uses it to defeat them.* The police came to arrest the Spark Gang and Fry goes flying into a hovertruck driven by demonic alien rednecks.* Bender and Hermes triumph but they do wonder what happened to Fry.*
Meanwhile, Leela and Amy decide to stay out of it.


Dirty Bender:

Futurama could've done a Dirty Harry parody!

After messing up a delivery, Bender is fired from PE.* Bender feels that nobody has ever respected or appriciated him.* *He moves to San Francisco and works for the police station there.* Bender becomes a plain clothes cop who at first takes on small cases like he pulls over some black guys who were smoking weed, and stops bank robbers and the whatnot.* Then Bender's big break comes when the police ask him to take down a serial killer sniper named Scorpio.* Fry, Leela, Hermes, and Amy hear on the news about Bender's heroics.* Bender also becomes a local hero in San Francisco, too.* Bender feels the respect and appriciation he feels he was denied.* * *So, Fry, Leela, Hermes, and Amy go to Frisco to help Bender take down Scorpio but they work behind the scenes and give him tips.* Of course, at the end Bender goes back home.* (got severely lambasted on PEEL for this idea)


How about one where Zoidberg gets revenge?



Dr. Zoidberg Controls the Universe:

Zoidberg wants revenge on Planet Express for treating him like a punching bag over the years.* So he recruits some of his fellow Decopodians to come down to Earth and enslave humanity.* So the Decopdians take over Earth and enslave all the humans.* Hermes becomes Zoidberg's slave and he enjoys this because of all the years Hermes has insulted and emotionally/physically abused him.* *As all of the humans are enslaved, Bender and the League of Robots start a rebellion against the Decopodians.* This could be a sequel to A Taste of Freedom without all the Fourth of July Hubbub.


If Family Guy and American Dad did spoofs of Poltergeist and Breaking Bad, Futurama should have, too! This is why the show needs to come back!

More things that could've been! Feel free to comment or join in!

The A Fish Called Wanda one could have the same premise of the movie, with Bender as Archie, Leela of course would be Wanda, Fry would be Ken, and Zapp can be Otto.� �Amy would be Porsha.� �

THe Stir Crazy one would be something where Fry and Bender get a second job to be entertainers at a bank who dress in chicken suits, then two criminals get ahold of their suits and rob the bank and kill some people.� Then Fry and Bender would be arrested for the crime and sentenced to a harsh penal planet where they suffer indignities.� It's up to Leela, Hermes, Amy, and Zoidberg to clear their names!


A Sharknado-style episode!� �With Bender as Ian Zierling!


How about an episode that's an Arabian Knight tale?� They go to an Arabian planet and they find a genie's bottle.� The genie gets Fry and traps him in a pyramid to sell him off.� Bender, Leela, Hermes, Amy, and Zoidberg all try to find him.

Then once Fry is sold, the person who gets him is Erwin Schrodinger (from Law and Oracle) who escaped from prison and became a Walter White-esque drug dealer and wants revenge on Fry for getting him arrested during that Tron-like high speed chase.� Erwin takes Fry away to the planet New New Mexico that ensues into a magic carpet chase.� But Zoidberg makes, Bender, Hermes, Leela, and Amy get lost.� �Once Fry is in Erwin's lair, Erwin has him stuck inside an hourglass full of cocaine.� Bender comes to the rescue as does Leela as they fight off Erwin and save the day!


What about one where they try to get a treasure of the Incas from the planet Aztec?� � Bender forces everyone to come along, and wants the treasure to get money to make his own sleeze bar.� (That's Bender for you)� �Along the way, they have a tour guide in a taxi hovercab leave them in the desert until they all find a cave.� Bender believes the treasure is in the cave so he has everyone go in, and Bender stand out and Hermes tries to talk Bender out of it while they wait.� Then Fry, Leela, Zoidberg, and Amy run into some thugs and Leela and Amy fight them off and a kooky witch doctor and captures them all.� The thugs were working for the witch doctor, BTW.� �The witch doctor wants the treasure so he can make a bomb to blow up caves and get gold.� Fry, Zoidberg, Leela, and Amy all try to convince the witch doctor there's better things to do in life than blow up caves for gold.� �Bender and Hermes see that nobody is coming out anytime soon, and Bender and Hermes fight off more of the thugs, get the treasure and save their friends!� �Bender gets his sleeze bar!

THat way Bender and Hermes can have another adventure together!� �As they should have after Lethal Inspection and Six Million Dollar Mon.


"Open For Business":
