I made a simple countdown page with instructions on which episode to watch today. It's very simple.

Very neat, Svip--although it doesn't quite mesh with my countdown at present. Must be that pesky time-zone thing.
I watched "Space Pilot 3000" last night and was reminded of how great it is. It's one of my all-time favorites, I guess because it shows you that both the hilarity and the emotion were always there from the beginning. It's not the funniest episode (or the most emotional, for that matter), but it's a great introduction and it's so full of, like, promise and possibilities and stuff, and it just makes me happy to watch it. Like F_F1, I haven't seen an episode of this show in a few months, so watching through the series one episode at a time should be pretty interesting (you know, in a dorky way).

Currently, it is purposefully local time. So it should 75 days left and "The Series Has Landed" if you live in Europe or North America.

It still says 76 days for me, so perhaps I don't live in North America, as I had previously thought.  Hm, I had to floor it. Try now.

Ah, that's the ticket. Sorry to be a pest, Svip, but you can't really expect me to count down myself...
And MightyBoosh: Interesting question; I've never really thought of that. If I had to guess, though, they probably don't talk about the old crew because they were never that close to them; in "The Sting", the doomed crew (on the black box) says something to the effect of "we're not as good as the old crew." So I'm guessing, until the current crop of characters, Farnsworth couldn't keep a crew long enough for Hermes, Amy, and Zoidberg to get too attached. And anyway, the old crew's fate just seems comically tragic (mostly just comical) until it becomes a major plot-point in "The Sting." Their gruesome demise is really just a contrivance to set Fry, Leela, and Bender up with jobs at Planet Express anyway.

It's still April 10th here, so I just got done watching "The Series has Landed", which is another one of my favorites. I love the Bender/Amy interaction (and it kind of stinks that that dynamic wasn't explored much in the rest of the series), particularly this:
Bender: Hey, look what I won from a tourist's pocket! Amy: Shut up. You're distracting me. Bender: Come on, it's just like making love. Y'know: Left, down, rotate 62 degrees, engage rotor. Amy: I know how to make love!
And that scene between Fry and Leela in the lunar lander makes the shipper in me mighty happy. It's just sweet and earnest, in a way that subsequent episodes really aren't. This episode has always given off a different vibe to me, and I can't quite explain it, but I like it.

Something tells me that there'll be quite a bit of Bender/Amy interaction in the new season if you know what I mean. Ah? Ah? Yeah, you know what I mean.

To boost my geek cred even further, I have added a new feature on the countdown page, where you can check when we are gonna get to a specific episode. It currently understands 'season number', 'episodenumber' and 'episodetitle', e.g. 'season 3', '5' and 'the problem with popplers'.

Microsoft does not release a modern version of Internet Explorer for my platform, so I don't care nor do I wish to go through the entire trouble of testing my site in Internet Explorer.

This countdown seems like a pretty good idea I might do it
I really liked "The Series Has Landed" too

I'd love to comment on "A Fishful of Dollars", but I'm off to some charity BS for knocked-up teenage sluts.
And you are none of the sluts? Heh...
