I wont give a vote for any single writer, as Futurama and the simpsons is a group writing process, so most writers have input on every episode

I'm going to go with Ken Keeler on this one, although it's definately a tough choice. He has the largest collection of my favorite episodes credited to his name, though, so he gets my vote.

Definately Ken Keeler followed closely by Lewis Morton. Keeler work has to be the most consistently best out of all the Futurama wrinting team (did that make sense) and most of his episodes are the series best.
Sadly some of the other writers on that list have been a bit hit and miss. Stewart Burns wrote My Three Suns and Roswell That Ends Well, two of my favourite episodes. But sadly he also wrote The Cryonic Woman. Likewise Ron Weiner wrote Luck Of The Fryrish, the most tearjerking episode ever but he also wrote A Pharoah To Remember which brings his points down a bit. My word that was long and probably pointless.

I'd have to say either Cohen or Weiner...because of Luck Of The Fryrish which is my all time favorite episode by far.

I've wanted to see a list of writers/episodes like this for a long time now... thanks My vote goes to Lewis, seeing his episode list gives me a good feeling about Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV...

I voted Patric Verrone - mainly because I love The Problem With Popplers (2ACV15) and also because he seems like a funny guy. But I love them all, they're such talented people, with special respect for David X Cohen, Ken Keeler, J Stewart Burns and Lew Morton.

Hey! I actually thought A Leela Of Her Own was pretty good! Ah - matter of opinion I guess. And That's Lobstertainment wasn't *terrible*. The thing that seems to be forgotten is that there are so many different people contributing to each episode, that if an episode isn't as good, the writer gets the blame. You gotta remember that every individual involved in each episode is responsible for it. The writer shouldn't be made the scapegoat.
Ok, I'm done lecturing!

David X. Cohen's REAL middle inital is S, which is the name he went under while writing for The Simpsons. However, when they made Futurama - they joined some type of organisation for all TV shows. They don't allow any 2 members to have the same name, and they already had a David S. Cohen in there, so David decided to change his middle initial to X, because it went in well with Futurama's sci-fi theme. It can also be noted that J. Stewert Burns doesn't REALLY have a J in his name - he added it for the same reason David changed his initial.
Also, I'm voting for Ken Keeler, because When Aliens Attack, Put Your Head On My Shoulder, Time Keeps On Slippin' and Godfella's all kick ass.

I vote Patric Verrone. "The Sting" was marvelous, and "That's Lobstertainment!" was pretty good, "The (My) Problem with Popplers" has one of the better lines ("My hands...they're huge! They can touch anything but themselves!" ) and it introduces the Free Waterfalls I believe. Close second is Ken Keeler for the song in "HHRHGB," as well as introducing the Omicronians in "When Aliens Attack," and ending the series .
