Default Good News, Everyone! (Futurama back....again?)

13 new Futruama episodes on Comedy Central by 2008.

Let's hope this isn't another Billy West website announcement!

One the funniest animated series ever, imo. The quote below is especially funny to me, considering I live in Quebec:

Professor Hubert Farnsworth
: [Professor Farnsworth is showing Cubert, his clone, some of his inventions] This is my Universal Translator. It could have been my greatest invention, but it translates everything into an incomprehensible dead language
Cubert J. Farnsworth: [into the translator's microphone] Hello.
Universal Translator: Bonjour!
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: See? Utter gibberish!

Fry: Pssst! Leela, you gotta get me out of here; it's horrible! Eating scraps, letting my waste drop wherever it falls like an animal in the zoo.
Leela: Animals go in the corner.
Fry: The corner!! Why didn't I think of that!

Fry: Hey, my girlfriend had one of those. Actually, it wasnt hers it was her Dad's. And actually she wasn't my girlfriend, she just lived next door and never closed the curtains

Fry: Just give me your best animal.
Salesman: Best? Well that's a matter of opinion. I personally like the Electric Snail.
Fry: That's a stupid animal. You're stupid! I said I want the best one.

Excellent news! Such a brilliant series, especially in the final couple seasons.

Zoidberg: I'm confused Fry. I'm feeling a strange new emotion. Is it love when you care about a female for reasons beyond mating?
Fry: Nope. Must be some weird alien emotion.

^ That episode is gold. One of my favourites:

Fry: Okay, you're on a date. What's the first thing you do?
Dr. Zoidberg: Ask her to mate with me.
Fry: No, tell her she's special.
Dr. Zoidberg: But she's not, she's merely the female with the largest clutch of eggs.
Fry: Well, tell her that. And then what?
Dr. Zoidberg: Then mating.
Fry: No, make up some feelings and tell her you have them.
[Dr. Zoidberg raises his hand]
Fry: Yes?
Dr. Zoidberg: Is desire to mate a feeling?
Fry: Ugh, you're not even trying.
Dr. Zoidberg: Ohhh, it's all so complicated, with the flowers, and the romance, and the lies upon lies.


Professor Hubert Farnsworth: You must take him to his ancient home world, which will soon erupt in an orgy of invertebrate sex.
Fry: Oh baby. I'm THERE.
Leela: Fry, do you even understand the word "invertebrate"?
Fry: Nope, but that's not the word I'm interested in.

When Fry makes a deal with the Devil to get the hands of another robot, the Spin Wheel coincidently lands on the Robot Devil himself...

Fry (To Robot Devil): Whoohoo! I get your hands??
Robot Devil: AAARGH! What an appallingly ironic outcome!

One of my favorite episodes. A few other quotes from that episode:

Fry: "That could be my beautiful soul sitting naked on a couch. If I could just learn to play this stupid thing."
Bender: "Oh, but you can! Though you may have to metaphorically make a deal with the devil. And by devil, I mean Robot Devil. And by metaphorically I mean get your coat."


Robot Devil: "Your lyrics lack subtlety. You can't just have your characters announce how they feel! That makes me feel angry!"


Fry: "My hands! My horrible human hands! Whoa! And what'd you do to my nails?"
Robot Devil: "I cleaned them."

My absolute favorite is from
How Herme's Requisitioned his groove back,

Bender spends the entire episode saying "I am Bender please insert girder" and it all comes to a hillarious conclusion in the song at the end.

Zoidberg: They said I shouldn't be a surgeon.

Professor Farnsworth: They laughed at my electric frankfurter.

Leela: They said I shouldn't fly with just one eye.

Bender: I am bender please insert girder.

pure gold.

Nice, as long as the whole casts come back, it should be awesome.

I loved the episode where they went back in time and fry nailed his own grandmother.

Fry: But won't that change history?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: [ultra sarcastic] Ohh, a lesson in not changing history from Mr. "I'm My Own Grandfather"! Let's just steal the damn dish and get out of here! Screw history!

I guess im the only one, but I always thought Futurama was somewhat unbearable to watch. I gave it many chances to redeem itself, but it always just seemed like a really poor cousin of shows like the Simpsons and Family Guy.

I was sort of glad it dissapeared.

This episode is on tonight on teletoon coincidentally. That one and the one with the planet Amazonia are probably my favourites.

Amazon: "We take you to all knowing femputer."
Fry: "Is she hot?"
Amazon: "That not matter, she all knowing."
Fry: "So, in other words, no.
Amazon: **Whack**

Pretty good list, and I certainly agree with his top three, even though #2 isn't necessarily one moment. But I'd put the ending of The Sting very high on that list, too. And instead of his #17, I'd chose a different Star Trek reference: when Zoidberg's people's national anthem starts up, and it's the hand-to-hand fight music from Star Trek. Hilarious!

Speaking of The Sting, his #25 reminds me of a great moment in that episode: at Fry's funeral, the Amazonian says "Him do good snu-snu." All the women in the row behind him sort of shrug; there's Amy, Morgan, Michelle, Petunia, and a radiator.

Futurama was ok but like King of the Hill I eventually drifted away from it. I watch it sometimes though if nothing else is on.

People watch King Of The Hill?

My favorite(s):

Fry: To Captain Bender, he's the best ...at being a big jerk who's stupid and his big, ugly face is as dumb as a butt

and

Leela: No offense, Fry, but you've become a fat sack of crap.
Fry: [offended] Sack?!?
