What episodes did you completely re-evaluate your opinion of the upon repeat viewings? Three that stick out immediately in my mind are "Insane in the Mainframe," "Leela's Homeworld" and "Future Stock," which I remember not laughing at much (or indeed, at all) the first time around, but, seveal months and DVD sets later I appreciate more. For IITM and FS, I suddenly found them hilarious, and for "Leela's Homeworld" I suddenly realized it wasn't as bad as I first thought. Of course,like the old Simpsons, most episodes get better with repeated viewings anyway... Edit: Bending Unit? Hooray! I'm contributing!

Agreed on 'Futurestocks', that gets much better with repeat viewings. It didn't hold up that well for me on first viewing, but somehow that makes it hold up all the more on repeats. Also 'Where No Fan Has Gone Before' has got much better for me on repeat viewings...

I thought A Leela of Her Own was terrible when I first saw it. Now I think it's pretty good. I agree with Futurestock though. It didn't feel like a Futurama episode when I first saw it, now it's one of my favorites.

For me, it's definitely "The Sting". It's still on my top ten list, but the story loses a little bit when you watch it for a second time. That's probably due to the fact that the whole plot is a huge mystery up until the last 2 minutes.
My opinion on "Futurestock" is this: it's an okay episode, but not a favorite, no matter how many times you watch it.
Also, "The 30% Iron Chef" is one of those episodes that I didn't think much of at first, but now, after seeing it a few times, I think it's great. I like the whole plot, but especially this line (I don't remember it word-for-word, but...):
Announcer: When I asked Elzar what he was making, he told me that it was none of my business and interjected that my mother was a prostitute.
Martha Stewart: In the French countryside, many prostitutes decorate their rooms with colorful gourds.
I thought that Tress McNeille did a great job as Martha Stewart, and I thought her lines were hilarious. Phil LaMarr did a great job as Bubblegum Tate, too.

Yep. And since we're talking about the DVD, I also think that the commentary on that episode is great as well.

"Bending In The Wind". At first I didn't like it, mainly for the celebrity guest star and I didn't like Bender's song. Later I started to appreciate Beck's self-deprecating lines, and actually took quite a likening to his music. I still don't fancy Bender's song much, but the episode have taken a large step up the ladder.

After just getting the DVD's, I plowed through Season 1 with commentary all Friday night, and have almost completed Season 2 w/commentary today - just need to watch "the cryonic woman" - I didn't realize all the 3rd-tier nerd jokes that were in there, and also have a better respect for the art and the way they blended 3-d with 2-d. I'd say, upon review, and once I get down the list to it, I'll probably find "Bendin' In The Wind" slightly funnier.

Bendin' In The Wind for me, too. When I first saw it - I hated the fact that the 1960's still had a following in the 31st century. I didn't even know who Beck was until I saw the episode - but still, it annoyed me that his music still had a following 1000 years later. It's just these types of things that take away the show's uniqueness.
Still, with that said - after I watched it a few more times, the episode drastically grew on me, and it's easily one of my most watched episodes.

And those who lived through the 80's wont like to be reminded of the horror (except for "The A-Team" and other tv-shows). I mean I worked for years to repress those memories, and ... oh god! They're coming back!

I meant 'Bendless Love.' and yes, I got to it, and found it a bit funnier. Oh, and CGEF is mentioned in the commentary for "That's Lobstertainment!" if anyone doesn't already know.

I really started to like I Second that Emotion after a few viewings after i got the DVD. It was actually very funny noticing Leela's parents in the crowd of mutants. Thats a big benefit of repeat viewing. Picking up things you didnt notice before!

I was the same, I appreciated the humour and references a lot more the last billion times I watched 30% after seeing the real Kitchen Stadium. I love Iron Chef. But then maybe I only love it so much because it reminds me of Bender... And I love the last line too.

Another episode i changed my mind about was "My Three Suns". After i saw it once, i thought it was an average okay episod, but after repeated viewings, i found it to be one of my favorites from Season 1.

i dont know why, but i found this absolutely hilarious when i was browsing through the CGEF sound files: go to gotfuturama.com and go to sounds and quotes -> War is the H-word -> #17 "Please gentlemen. We must put an end to the bloodshed. We've all seen too many body bags and ball sacks." <IMG SRC=" http://peel.gotfuturama.com/ubb/smiley_laff.gif"> (part of it is his voice, though, so just reading it isn't as funny.) [edited be cause for some reason, i can't like to CGEF files]
