I always found the Scary Door intros pretty great as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5oGJTUpbpA
I know it's a parody of Outer Limits and the Twilight Zone, but it always made me think of the "Lost room" (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0830361/)

#72> The show that watches back
Well, that was prescient, given how smart TVs send screen content data back to the manufacturers these days.

#73These are more clever than I remember, and I'm amazed at how many I don't remember at all. Favorite so far: "Not The Episode With The Dead Dog"
Watched that episode with the dead dog once. Almost cried. Never watched it again.
"Luck of the Fryish" has always been a favorite of mine. Not quite as tear-jerking as Jurassic Bark, but still a little sad with a somewhat somber ending.

#74Futurama is great! I wish it would have gotten more popular but I guess most masterpieces aren’t appreciated on their time. I can confidently say that some of best tv writing I have seen is from Futurama. Totally recommend it to anyone who hasn’t seen it.
I watched the first four seasons. I should rewatch the show including the later ones.

#75Earlier quoted context omitted.
Through multiple watches, I've come to really like Bender's Big Score and The Beast with a Billion Backs. They are very different than the normal 22 minute episodes, but they have a lot of depth that you don't normally get in regular episodes. The later seasons have few worthwhile episodes, notably: * S6 - EP7 - The Late Philip J. Fry * S7 - EP26 - Meanwhile (Series Finale) That said, I agree with you, most of my fav…
Oh yes, The Late Philip J. Fry is about the forward time machine, what a masterpiece! Probably my favorite episode in the whole series. There was also an amazing song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE1drY3A418
Original that it parodies for those not familiar: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lvYvtRmgA4o

#76You seem malnourished. Are you suffering from internal parasites?
"Uhh, is there a human doctor around?"
"Young lady, I am an expert on humans. Now pick a mouth, open it, and say [Zoidberg Noises]."
"Ahem, [bad attempt at copying zoidberg noises]"
"WHAT?! My mother was a saint. Now GET OUT!"

#77How I loved Futurama! Much like with the Simpsons, it will helpfully provide a quote for anything , and its hyper focus on scifi and adventure made it more interesting to me. Though I'm a fan of the first "age", before the movie(s) and cancellation. I heard bad things about the later seasons, and don't want to taint my memories of the show by watching them.
Futurama gave me the kind of unfortunate habit of starting with the German equivalent of "Good news, everyone..." when telling users about something bad.
People who did not know Futurama found it puzzling, but it was just so funny I could not resist.
Also, I think the "second age" of Futurama was as good as the first one. I loved the series finale.

I won't watch that episode. I think the opening quote was apt.
I'm not sure that the episode with the dead dog opening quote _is_ the episode with the dead dog (a spoiler), maybe was a previous one and because it was somewhat controversial this is a joke about it.
Can anyone confirm?
The two possible jokes works but are different, for me a pun of a previous episode is so much funny.

#80People who like these could do worse than take a look at Ubik by Philip K Dick [0]. Each chapter starts with an advert expounding the virtues of the wonder substance Ubik, which can be used as beer, shaving foam, kitchen cleaner, coffee, hairspray, antiperspirant and others. Each ad has a great little caveat: "Safe when taken as directed", "Avoid prolonged use", "Entirely safe when used as directed", "Safe when used…
Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball.
It made my heart happy that this comment was so quickly made.
