Yep. It also gives a good message about body image.

If I remember correctly, "I, Roommate" didn't contain any content inappropriate for children. Tell me if I'm wrong, though. It's been a while since I last watched the episode.

I,Roomate might be hard to understand... The fact that an *whispering* 'antenna' is like a robo-dick.

Oh yea, I forgot about that. But I agree with Monster Robot Maniac, I doubt it would mean anything to them.

"Mild swearing" outranks "Fucked-up storyline involving monster eating most of the characters" in terms of what kids shouldn't be exposed to?

True, but school-aged children are going to hear far worse on the playground than they ever will on television. It really doesn't seem like the thing parents should be most vigilant about. I was watching The Simpsons from about age 5 onwards, and you hear mild words like "ass" and "crap" in that constantly - but even those words didn't enter my personal vocabulary until years later. And the sexual innuendo went pretty much over my head (actually, somewhat even the opposite - I knew what "sex" in general was but didn't know the specifics, so I just assumed every single joke I didn't get was sexual ). The violence was really the only thing where I truly understood the actions and the implications.

When I said MOTPE is OK for kids, I didn't mean three-year-olds nessessarily, but more like kids 10 and up, give or take. I know this thread is called 'Episodes for a 3 year old', but my suggestions are mainly for older kids.
Honestly, I don't think 3 year olds should watch the show. It's just too vulgar and mean spirited at times, and it's put on networks like FOX and CC for a reason-it's for older induviduals. I think the youngest age that should be allowed to watch some episodes would be about 11, or even better, 12. Kids of those ages could easily handle MOTPE, in my opinion.
New Suggestion- That's Lobstertainment! Yes, the episode is pretty boring, but some kids would still enjoy it, and there's not much wrong with it, as far as I recall. Prove Me Wrong, Everyone!

It features Jar-Jar Binks as a head in a jar. There, that was easy.

I'd say SMFP. I'm pretty sure the Scooby-Doo segment didn't contain any inappropriate material. And they might get a kick out of the Purple Berry one (even if they don't understand the whole corporate joke behind it).
As for G.I. Zapp, I'm not sure whether or not they would just believe everything Nixon said.

Best typo ever. But Game of Tones was pretty appropriate, save the strip club part, and some parents might consider the Fry/Michelle scene a litte suggestive.

That would be some serious unspoken mental abuse.

Q: What if Futurama started making TV-G episodes on Nick?
Yoinked this from the Q&A thread because I thought it was an interesting idea. I think the best way to do this would be a separate series, featuring the orphan kids, maybe Cubert/Dwight. They would interact frequently with the PE crew of course, because it's not Futurama without the gang. Maybe the beginning and end of each episode would have the PE crew heading off on/returning from a delivery por ejemplo, as my people say. And the kids would go off and have their own adventures while the grownups were away. Perhaps Zoidberg could be the incompetent babysitter, so we don't have to deal with the question of why the grownups leave the kids alone all day. For a younger audience, Zoidberg's whooping, weird anatomy, voracious appetite, and ink spray might make him a popular character.

I think TMC should do another of his lists, this time for "Ghost in the Machines" to see what's inappropiate in it.
Way to go, you found 1 episode in 140 that you can hold up as a shining example for how young children should watch Futurama! Or maybe I just didn't care to go poking through the episode transcript looking for adult material. Either way, be sure to list it on your resume as a major win. The world will be impressed.
