Futurama

Guest jm29195

I've just got all of the Futurama seasons 1-4 dvds and rather than watching it all randomly, could anyone tell me what the best episodes are and why?

cheers

Watch them in order, but when you get to "Jurassic Bark", get the Kleenex for God's sake. That episode was ROBBED at the Emmy's by that Simpsons episode where Homer lives with the gay couple.

 

That's right.

I've seen a few of them now and there's some episodes, where they finish with a music overlay....ummm... like the Luck of the Fryrish, Jurassic Bark and Leela's homeworld, really sad, and definetly not what i was expecting from Futurama...

Futurama had quite a few emotional moments. Moments that got to me unlike any live-action sitcom has in a while.

 

It hits you even harder if you have seen all of the episodes leading up the the emotional shows, that's why I say watch them in order. Not to mention that there are some jokes and stuff that you just wont really get unless you watch all of the shows in order.

Fucking Simpsons :angry:

 

Anyways, i'd say my favourite episode is Roswell that Ends Well. I'm a mark for anything involving time travel.

 

Other favourites:

 

The Luck of Fryish

Jurassic Bark

Amazon Women in the Mood

and any of the episodes involving the Brain Spawn and the Nibblonians. I wish they'd had another season to develop that more...

I dont know the name of the episodes, but I hung up on a friend, when i first saw the one about lelahs parents, and this was like a month ago when i finally saw it...and wow was that a tear jerker....i didnt think animation could be that emotional......

 

and the one about frys bro was damn good too, emotionally.

I only watch random shows on cartoon network, but Family Guy takes precedence over it as far as I'm concerned.

 

I watch for MOGOR~ the evil alien newscaster. One of my favorite lines I can remember:

 

"Our candidates are: PUNY HUMAN #1.... PUNY HUMAN #2... And EVIL RICHARD NIXON! May your enemies die a brutal and painful death!"

I like the Robot Hell Episode. Also the one where they go to college, I forget what its called but its a pretty good Animal House parody.

Anthology of Interest II, Luck of the Fryrish, and Jurassic Bark are all good.

 

The wrestling mark in my enjoys Raging Bender.

 

"I'm not from around here! I have my own customs! Look at my CRAAAZY Passport"

 

The one with the time kips is also quite good.

 

And The Farnsworth Parabox has my favourite line of the series (which sadly I cannot remember).

 

"Good news everyone! (Good news explained). But the real good news is The Bible".

Hell is Other Robots would have to be my favourite episode, if only for the final act in Robot Hell with the snappy musical number. However, the rest of the episode is great too featuring Bender finding religion after becoming a drug addict.

Morbo: "You humans do not yet know the meaning of suffering!" *evil laugh*

Female Newscaster: *laughs nervously*

OK, I just saw Jurassic Bark on adult swim and I have to agree with the consensus of damn near busting out the Kleenex. What a total downer. That was the most melancholy animated sitcom episode I'd ever seen.

I turned it off last night. I like that episode but it still gets me even on the 4th or 5th viewing.

 

How the fuck did that stupid Simpsons episode win an Emmy over that?

i thought Luck of the Fryish, about his brother, was an honest to god tearjerker. I almost cried dammit!

 

As far as comedy, I think my favorite is "When Aliens Attack", a merciless ripping of ally mcbeal

Last night was the first time I'd ever seen Jurassic Bark too. Definitely a heart-tugger (can't say I cried, but it did it's best to try) right up there with Luck of the Fryrish, plus it had some hilarious moments intermittent with the serious stuff ("Robopuppy to commence 2 hours of yipping... yip! yip! yip!" *kick* "Robopuppy activating mistreatment alarm!")

 

To my list above I would have to add "Bicyclops Built for Two" (if only for the great Married with Children parody) and "Time Keeps on Slipping" (for all the Harlem Globetrotter stuff)

My favorite episodes are "Luck of the Fryish" and "Jurassic Bark." I had to fight back the tears the first time I saw these episodes as well.

There's simply too many episodes for me to list that I love, but I was watching Roswell that Ends Well the other day, and that has to be up there.
