The Futurama Thread

SHOW YOUR LOVE!

I've been watching this show to death lately. I bought the season 3 boxset last weekend and have been watching it non stop since. The commentaries are particularly great. In one episode, Billy West, John Demaggio and a guest voice actor do a "guess whose the real Zoidburg" game, and its fucking funny as!


so, whats your favorite episode? mine is Roswell that ends well. Thats the one where they go back in time to 1947 and crash land in Roswell. Zoidburg steals the show as always.


and some trivia while we're at it:


What is Dr.Zoidburgs first name?

We don't have the season 3 set yet...we suck at getting boxsets at a decent time.

[Jeremy]

I think it's Harold Zoidberg, and my favorite episode is the second What If machine one where one third of it is gaming stuff.

[NachoHat]

I'm pretty sure it's John Zoidberg. Harold Zoid was the name of his uncle.

Favorite episodes? The Luck of the Fryrish, both Anthologies of Interest, Mars University, I, Roommate, and Roswell That Ends Well.

I need to pick up the second season boxset, not to mention get my first season back from my brother.

Season 3 on Box Set isn't out yet here. I've watched Season 1 and 2 in to the ground, though. When does season 3 hit?

[Rumpy]

My favorite episode is probably Luck of the Fryish. Awesome story, some really well done transitions (like the toy rocket being thrown out the window, which turns into the Planet Express ship) and a really good ending. The total package. The one with the time skips is also a favorite. It's hysterical and has a pretty sad ending.

[arjue]

I'm pretty sure it's John Zoidberg.

Correct!

Jesus, its not often we get stuff before you guys. I may as well bask in it while I have the chance.


SUCKERS!


Luck of the fryrish is an awesome episode, but I prefer the funny ones to the serious ones.


I really love the depth of this series as opposed to the other animated comedies. Half the jokes you miss the first time around, and its full of obscure references.

[Drewbacca]

Much like the Simpsons. That's what makes Groenings comedies so good. I'm sad that it's cancelled.

[Jeremy]

Yup, his shows always have more depth to them, more character development, and much more rewatchability. A hollow show like Family Guy is great for one viewing, but repeat viewings tend to be unkind to then.

[Drewbacca]

Meh, Family has shock value and pretty looney thinking, which makes the show. But yeah, after the second watch it becomes a little bit bland.
