I'm weird in that I don't remember the first episode I saw or the first episode I loved. It feels like it's always been there, in the background, then Adult Swim shoved it into the foreground. The earliest 'rama-related memory I've retained, though, has to do with one of my least favorite episodes. This annoying kid in my health class, freshman year of high school (shortly after TCW originally aired), was drawing shirtless fat guys with paintings on their guts. I looked over his shoulder and said, "Oh, like on Futurama?" He got all defensive and said that it was his own original idea and he'd never seen Futurama and I was a big stupid liar. About a week later, he poured pop on a friend of mine, 'cause he thought he was laughing at him (he wasn't). And then he physically assaulted this other kid who threw a pen cap at him. The TA had to pull them apart. I'm surprised my nerdy ass got away unscathed. ... The end.

Welcome to PEEL swidzi! So it was called Adventures of Fry in Space? Odd. Anywho, I've seen episodes before this one, but the first episode that really got me hooked on Futurama was The Why of Fry. It was a great episode and it was funny too.

i saw the very first episode when it aired. i thought it was a dumb show and didn't watch it again until my old girlfriend and her roommates all started gathering around the tv at 10:00 CST for FUTURAMA and FAMILY GUY. i still wasn't much of a fan for some wierd reason, but then they grew on me.

The first episode I ever saw was, "War Is the H-Word" -- still one of my favorites. I immediately fell in love with the show. Ironically, this was after the show had already been cancelled. Friends of mine were watching recorded Futurama episodes. I had heard about the show, but since I didn't have a TV, I never saw it. I remember thinking to myself, "Meh, it's probably not as good as the Simpsons... I won't bother even looking at it". I'm so glad that I actually DID see an episode. Now, I'm a Futurama junkie. What a cruel fate that my drug dealer decided to forever prevent me from getting a new fix. PS- Of course, I soon discovered that Futurama was vastly superior to The Simpsons in most every way possible...

People had been bugging me to watch the show for a LONG time, but I kept forgetting when it was on, and I never got around to it. Plus I'm not a HUGE fan of The Simpsons and just figured it was like that (BAD ME  ). I was watching TV one night and noticed it was on, so I watched it. It was Where No Fan Has Gone Before, and I wasn't THAT impressed (maybe because I've never seen Star Trek?) After a while, I noticed it was on again, so I watched it. It was A Flight to Remember, and I fell in love. I immediately went and bought the season 1 DVDs, and have been addicted ever since.

As far as i can remember i saw the first episode on Sky1, british channel, and i liked the whole idea. however they never seem to show it and although i liked it and my friend caught some episodes and we talked about them i found it hard to watch at the right times. but, i remember seeing season three being first aired and they re-ran all the episodes because it was new, after that i loved it. and now recently i've purchased all the box sets and after seeing it all i can't get enough.

I was living in Japan when "Futurama" premiered, and we didn't get the first season until the second or third season was on in the States. My dad loves it and got me hooked on it almost immediately, but I didn't become the example of utter geekdom for the show I am today until "Fry and the Slurm Factory". It's a perfect parody of one of my favorite movies, and I hadn't laughed so hard at a TV show in ages.

'Space Pilot 3000', and then every ep after even more so... It was the same for me, also haveing Bender for Unreal Tournament helped get into Futurama In Australia (to what I can remember) there was a quite a bit of hype since it was created by the same person as 'The Simpsons' ------------------ I can only please ONE person per day. Today is not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look good either
