What is your favorite episode of Futurama?

Mine is the one where Bender's body gets wrecked and he meets the head of Beck. Bender and Beck decide to put on a concert for broken robots. Of course, at the concert, Beck's head is placed on a plastic body. Near the end, Bender's body starts to work again.

I loved the Willy Wonka/Slurm Factory episode. I watched that one OVER AND OVER. I wasn't a big fan of the show up to that point, but it won me over. Call it the REVERSE of "jumping the shark." The show really seemed to find itself at that point.

That Leela is hot. If I was gonna hook up with a one-eyed, animated chick with purple hair, it'd have to be her.

Yeah,the Slurm Cola was pretty funny,especially when Fry kept
drinking the stuff 'cause he was soooo addicted to it and Leela
and Bender had to count on him to free them.It was also a funny
parody of the New Coke/Old Coke controversy of the 1980s.

Another favorite is the one where Leela thinks she's found the
only other Cyclops in the universe and decides to marry her,but
Fry finds out he's really just a shape shifting sexist who keeps
a wife from every rare species he comes across,that and the
guy's a real bum at home!

correction:In that last post I of course meant to write him and
not her.

I liked the Valentines episode with the Candy Hearts.

My favorite is the Willy Wonka parody. Another really good one is the one where Fry dates Amy,they break up,get in an accident and then she has his head sewn on her body!And an older good ep is the one where Phil Hartman is the big blonde guy in white go-go boots trying to pick up Leela.I cant remember that charactors name.What was it?He was a riot!!

The one where Fry's head is sewn onto Amy's body is being repeated this Thursday night at 9:30.

The character who tried to pick up was Zap Brannigan. That character was supposed to be voiced Phil Hartman, but you know what happened. The actor who voiced Zap in that episode and a few others is Billy West, who does the voice of Fry. Fry got his first name Philip as a tribute to Phil Hartman.

okay Zap Brannigan........now whats his little green side-kicks name?
I really dont get to see this show as often as I'd like to.Maybe I should tape it.

mamamiasweetpeaches · 02-28-2002, 01:23 PM

the voice of Fry is the guy who did rEN AND STIMPYS VOICE,NO?

dawsongirl · 03-21-2003, 01:41 AM

Billy West was either Ren or Stimpy, wasn't he??

needles1987 · 03-07-2008, 06:46 PM

"Roswell that Ends Well" is my favorite.

MrRetro_08 · 03-21-2008, 10:12 AM

Roswell that Ends Well and The Luck of the Fryrish

Roswell That Ends Well and The Farnsworth Parabox. Stories that include time travel and/or alternate realities are cool.

I love a lot of episodes from the first two seasons, Fry's head being sewn to Amy is classic as is the Slurm Factory. The 7 leaf clover is great too. Too many to choose from!
