Worst episode??

[Reply #720 on:]

WOW, I can't believe someone else finally said this before me...i think that's about the first negative comment i've ever read about Roswell. The Roswell episode is very much loved around here...but I always thought the same about the time travel kinda, and plus I just didn't find the episode as funny as many others. However, I just about fell off my couch laughing when Leela and the Professor go into that store dressed in 1947 garb--the Professor with his feather....

[Reply #721 on:]

Hmmm...I always loved this episode.  Don't know much about the writers "Embargo" on time travel, but this episode set up 2 of the "Brain Spawn" episodes, which I also enjoyed as well...

[Reply #722 on:]

The writers talk about it on the DVD commentary for the Roswell episode. If time travel is possible, then you'd have to have some other plot device that prevents people from the 30th century from visiting the 20th more often. The way it's handled in Roswell bypasses this, since the crew travelled back in time only due to a very rare event.

And come on, Zoidberg's exchange with Truman was priceless!

Truman: Are you here to make some kind of alien-human hybrid?
Zoidberg: Are you coming on to me?

[Reply #723 on:]

It's hilarious!  There's more:

Truman: Hot Crackers!  I take exception to that!
Zoidberg: I'm not hearing a no...

I dont know why, but i have a hard time with most of the Leela heavy episodes.

[Reply #725 on:]

leela heavy episodes seem very emotional which i can understand can turn some people off seeing how wild the show can be. but back to the Rosweel episode, i love it and it has to be one of my favorite episodes. it has so many funny things that happen. i mean Truman breaking through a wooden case is just perfection

I'm sorry but I dont like hell is other robots it is a slow episode.

Yeah i agree, the roswell show is great. When i started collecting the DVD boxes. I bought the third season first just because that episode.

But there is one leela heavy episode i like, and that is the one where she gets two eyes. There is alot of Zoidberg and the Professor action in that one. I like that alot.
And the Dr.Adalai/Adalay (not sure of the spelling of his name). He is so normal and boring it makes him funny.
"I was in the area having one of my Hawaiian shirts toned down". Great quote.
Also that episode has one of the best comentator tracks.
Love it when Dimaggio sunddenly calls out: "YES! WE HAVE LOOKING AT TREES!"

i like that episode too i like a lot of leelas episodes theyre just not the types of episodes i watch all the time, i can watch Roswell alot

[Reply #729 on:]

I have to say "Obsoletely Fabulous". There is just to much Bender in it. Now don't get me wrong I like bender as much as the next guy but their just isn't enough of the others in the episode. I still think it's funny, (especially the caddyshack reference) I just think it's the least funny of all the episodes. It just shows how great Futurama is that the worst episode is still great.

[Reply #730 on:]

my worst show is a bender ep but not that one " God Fellas" oh my god that is the most boring episode of futurama to me i mean its so bender heavy yet it really doesnt involve him in ways. its a huge departure from the ususal episodes i really dislike it and thats a hard thing fro me to say about any futurama episode

[Reply #731 on:]

Roswell I enjoyed - interesting plot, great jokes and a nice potrayal of the characters. It's a fantastic episode to use if you're introducing someone to the series. However, as a diehard fan, it doesn't it exactly stand out to me - but it's still very good, and how anyone could call it the worst I simply don't understand.

Crap, after i read your post about Go Fellas, i realized that i disslike it to. :/ The beginning is good though. The Space pirate is strange looking and fun.

I don't like the episode "My 3 Suns" theres just no funny parts.

I agree. Its not that I don't like it, but
1: Its really not *that* funny
2: It was hilarious when I was 11.
You know what I'm saying?

[Reply #735 on:]

It was OK the first 3 times I watched it, but now i just skip it.

I'm not sure I have a least favorite, but there are two that are sort of ruined for me by the main character being out-of-character/overly mean: A Pharaoh To Remember and A Taste Of Freedom.

I agree Fry was out of character in 'A taste of Freedom', then again the whole show was a parody on the hysteria that can come with unbridled mindless patriotism, in that sense probably most of the characters were deliberately out of character.

[Reply #737 on:]

a taste of freedom is really strange i mean its got its funny parts but its not an episode id recomend,a pharoh to remeber is pretty good but i can only say that i watch that episode just to listen to the in character commentary that billy west and john dimagio do. i also think thats lobstertainment is pretty bad i really dont like seeing it so i always skip it thank god for DVD

[Reply #738 on:]

I thought for a while i'd liked "The Honking" but i've seemed to turn on it for some reason.

[Reply #739 on:]

I used to dislike Godfellas too, but after watching it for the hundredth or so time, I like it more and more. "Bonder?"

I think the worst episode is The Sting. The only part of that episode I like is the virtual golf. I can't stand the entire part that is just Leela's subconscious or whatever.

[Reply #740 on:]

What! "The Sting" is one of my favouite episodes.

[Reply #741 on:]

This is an outrage,"The Sting" is great!

Sorry if I hurt you, it's all opinions.

[Reply #742 on:]

maybe I'm a little old for this board but the Sting, and Godfellas are two of my absolute favorites.  Closely followed by Roswell, and War is the H Word

[Reply #743 on:]

The Sting? Are you insane? That episode was incredible.

[Reply #744 on:]

The Robot Planet and Cryonic Woman episodes.

  I thought The Sting was really cute, but I don't think it was very humorous.  Someone who really isn't focused on the plot wouldn't appreciate it as much. 

[Reply #746 on:]

that's kind of what I meant by being a little old, I love the whole damned thing plots and all.  I couldn't find an episode that I'd label as worst.  Okay, the Cryonic Woman

[Reply #747 on:]

i dont like the eposode Cryonic Woman.

No, seriously?

I thought the commentary on theological philosophy was brilliant!

[Reply #749 on:]

 ive neveer listen to GDfellas commentary maybe it will be its saving grace

[Reply #750 on:]

worst was when aliens attack but i like em all

[Reply #751 on:]

i like all of them but theres only one episode i hate its the one where leela gets an eye! boring! 
 

[Reply #752 on:]

A thought occurs! Should we bother restarting this thread when it hits 20 pages?

[Reply #753 on:]

I hated the Cryonic woman

[Reply #754 on:]

Yeah the Cryonic Woman episode was major dump. Not good at all.

[Reply #755 on:]

Well it was good untill Michelle came, well good untill Polly Shore Came

[Reply #756 on:]

I hate Paulie Shore. Can't stand him.

He had no use in that episode.

[Reply #757 on:]

he has no use in anything

[Reply #758 on:]

Paulie shore is a certifieable genius! how else can you explain how e became so popular other than science, him and paris hilton must be mensa members to have figured out how to be worthless and yet become famous for it
