Another classic theme is explored in this episode: the evil twin. Very nice animation in a very sci-fi episode. The only complaint I have, aside from the usual nitpicking, is the ending. It’s like they didn’t have any more story and just... Read more

This episode rolls all of your favorite horror myths into one. Part Dracula, part Christine and part werewolf lore, this one explores robot afterlife, Bender’s family ties and manages not to suck too badly.

This felt like another one of those filler episodes, just something seasonally appropriate for that time and slightly amusing. You could miss this episode and not miss a single plot point. (but don’t! 🙂 )

Another attempt to give us some insight into Fry’s past life falters at the gate. It takes us out of the “Fry attempts to woo Leela” storyline and generally breaks the rhythm of pretty decent season.

There’s lots of nice animation sequences with plenty of sci-fi influences. Not a bad way to spend almost half an hour . . . But I still have questions.

Full of classic Futurama humor, this is an excellent episode all around, and if you’re a fan of sex, jokes, and jokes about sex (and you are, because it’s one of the requirements of being a Sci-Fi Geek) you will enjoy this episode... Read more

Fry originally hails from the 20th century like most of us. He had a dead end job as a delivery boy, a girlfriend who cheated on him, and generally nothing to look forward too.

There are some truly inspired animation moments in this episode. Fast-paced and action packed, much of the action is based on the Star Wars trilogy (4-6).

DOOP, or Democratic Order of Planets, is similar to the Federation from Star Trek. There’s also all of the alien life-forms on the space station, some familiar and some not. Of course, there is the entire space station itself and the scene... Read more

The company doctor for Planet Express is not your typical physician. Oh sure, he has medical charts on the wall, drawers of instruments and wears scrubs and a lab coat.

One of the difficult things about a writing a review for an older episode is trying to put everything in perspective. No matter what show, early episodes usually suck when compared with material found in later seasons.

So that’s it folks. It was quick episode with very little sci fi or plot. But FOX got just what they wanted and in the Future they were careful what they wished for with Futurama. Another random FYI, is that Bender’s room number... Read more

This episode marks the first appearance of Mom, a kick-ass character that recurs throughout the series. She tells it like it is, in some very colorful language. I can’t decide if I like her or Zap Brannigan more.

The fact that Bender wants to cook tickles me just a tad. Every other thing that humans do offends the hell out of him, I would think cooking and eating would be right up there. This episode sets the stage for a later episode in the series... Read more

It’s the professor’s turn to shine in this one. I know they need to give you some insight into the peripheral characters, but I like the ones later about Zoidberg and Hermes better.

Bender as a holy roller, will wonders never cease?! The Beastie Boys guest appearance was inspired; they were used well. There’s some enjoyable animation in the chase scene in robot hell as well.

Bender shows us he actually has a heart in that chest cavity as he falls in love, or maybe not. Watch and see. Leela and Fry begin their looong on and off flirtation with romance in this episode as well.
