While it never quite reached the heights of The Simpsons in terms of popularity or longevity, Futurama has earned for itself a loyal army of fans over the years. There have even been times that the show was genuinely as good, if not even better than Matt Groening’s flagship show.
Following the misadventures of 20th century man Fry shot 1000 years into the future, he found himself a new family consisting of aliens, mutants, and nephews older than any man should have ever lived to be. His best friend however, and arguably the most popular character in the entire show, was Bender.
For ten seasons, the hard drinking robot carved out a place in every single Futurama fan’s heart. However, even with the exciting news of a Futurama revival coming to Hulu, Bender’s role is in question as John DiMaggio is the only member of the main cast not yet confirmed to be returning.
Whether he is recast, or just doesn’t appear, the show simply will not be the same. There is then, no better time to look back on Bender’s best episodes, knowing that there may be no more new ones to enjoy in the future.
