What is your favorite Futurama episode?

[Reply #600 on:]

Looks like it...

Möbius Dick > Reincarnation > Cold Warriors > Law and Oracle >  Fry Am the Egg Man > Ghost in the Machines > Overclockwise > Benderama > Neutopia > The Silence of the Clamps > The Tip of the Zoidberg > All the Presidents' Heads >

> Yo Leela Leela

Why the hell not? (This order is from what I can remember from the past half season on their first viewings)

Reincarnation > Law and Oracle > Benderama > Möbius Dick > Overclockwise > Ghost in the Machines > Cold Warriors > The Silence of the Clamps > The Tip of the Zoidberg >  Fry Am the Egg Man > Yo Leela Leela > All the Presidents' Heads > Neutopia

[Reply #602 on:]

Ooo, I'll play:

Reincarnation > Cold Warriors > Overclockwise > Law & Oracle > Fry Am the Egg Man > Mobius Dick > All the Presidents' Heads > Yo Leela Leela > Benderama > Neutopia > The Tip of the Zoidberg > The Silence of the Clamps > Ghost in the Machines

Of those thirteen, I'd say "Reincarnation" and "Cold Warriors" are the only two that would breach my (ever-changing) Top 25 list; at the very least, "Reincarnation" is my favorite of the trilogy/non-canon episodes the show's done.

[Reply #603 on:]

Reincarnation > Cold Warriors > Overclockwise > Mobius Dick > Law & Oracle > Fry Am the Egg Man > All the Presidents' Heads > Neutopia > Ghost in the Machines > The Tip of the Zoidberg > The Silence of the Clamps > Benderama > Yo Leela Leela.

Re-watching some of those might cause me to shuffle the order about somewhat, but Reincarnation, ATPH, YLL and Benderama are definitely in their right places for me.

[Reply #604 on:]

Does anyone else think that Naturama is the new title for "The Butterjunk Effect"?

[Reply #605 on:]

Doubt it, Butterjunk sounds much better. But who knows?

[Reply #606 on:]

I do think that Butterjunk sounds better, but the whole nature going nuts theme could fit into both categories.

[Reply #607 on:]

Doing this are we?

Mobius Dick > Reincarnation > Law and Oracle > Cold Warriors > Ghost in the Machines > Neutopia > Overclockwise > The Tip of the Zoidberg > The Silence of the Clamps > Benderama > Fry Am the Egg Man > All the Presidents' Heads > Yo Leela Leela

Rating Neutopia higher than Overclockwise? You and I are enemies now...

[Reply #608 on:]

And more than TToTZ, TSoTC, Benderama, FATEM, and ATPH?! Oh boy.....

[Reply #609 on:]

Here's mine:

Reincarnation > Overclockwise > Law and Oracle > Möbius Dick > Cold Warriors > Ghost in the Machines > Fry Am the Egg Man > The Tip of the Zoidberg > Benderama > The Silence of the Clamps > All the Presidents' Heads > Yo Leela Leela > Neutopia

Neutopia was the first new episode that was released since I properly got back into Futurama.

Overclockwise looked so good, but it just felt filler-ish and Bender's overclocked state was barely used, it had so much potential.

[Reply #611 on:]

That doesn't make it good 

[Reply #612 on:]

Overclockwise was pretty lame. Thinking about it, I may have rated it too highly above. I'd have to watch the eps again to be certain though...

[Reply #613 on:]

That doesn't make it good 

Well for me it was, all excited and stuff...

[Reply #614 on:]

Do you plan on re-watching it in order and then rating it? (That's what I'm doing with 6B now...)

[Reply #615 on:]

Well yes, when it comes out on DVD in the UK... Which will be December this year I imagine.

Knowing the huge floppy fail that is Sky, they will show it in the US broadcast order.

[Reply #616 on:]

What if Yo Leela Leela was first? Would the excitement have made that better than last place on your list then?...

[Reply #617 on:]

There's no way YLL would have been chosen to air first...

"In the first, exciting episode of the year: Leela writes a story about aliens but the fame goes to her head making her a Gaga-esque fame hag" (Neutopia was chosen to air first to pull in more viewers because of it's 'hilarious' and 'exciting' story)

[Reply #618 on:]

I just meant hypothetically. At the end of the day, Comedy Central chose to air Yo Leela Leela before Möbius Dick for example, despite Möbius Dick having a lower production code. Worryingly this could mean that they thought it was a better ep*, so they don't have much credibility in regards to taste as far as I'm concerned...

*Unless Möbius Dick wasn't finished, but they also aired Yo Leela Leela before The Tip of the Zoidberg which has lower production code as well...

[Reply #619 on:]

Doesn't matter if Yo Leela Leela wins "World's Greatest Thing Ever" award, I still won't like it.

[Reply #620 on:]

You really do hate that episode :P

(On a completely off topic note, is there a thread where I can rate and review the episodes of season 6A as a whole?)

[Reply #621 on:]

I think there's a thread for that somewhere, I'll look for it...

I believe they did that to put the best episodes in the last half of the season.

[Reply #623 on:]

Agreed. The second half of 6B was a lot more enjoyable than the first half. For some reason, Comedy Central front-loaded the season with noticeably weaker (and more Bender-centric, if that matters) episodes. From "All the Presidents' Heads" (or, in my case, "Yo Leela Leela") on, though, I think the broadcast season was really solid.

What if Yo Leela Leela was first? Would the excitement have made that better than last place on your list then?...

You know, I've always wondered if I think so highly of "A Leela of Her Own" because it's the first Futurama episode I have a clear memory of seeing. I think it's possible for an episode to become a sentimental favorite just because you happened to see it early on.

(On a completely off topic note, is there a thread where I can rate and review the episodes of season 6A as a whole?)

Click. (That thread is actually for rating every season six episode, but that seems like the best place to share your thoughts on 6A.)

[Reply #624 on:]

I can't even remember the order 6B aired in, so I can't comment on which "half" I preferred. Although I remember that the three best episodes of 6B all aired back-to-back (Cold Warriors, Overclockwise, and Reincarnation), so I guess it's the second half then.

[Reply #625 on:]

We're nor halving Season 6B we're halving Season 6 (one half is A the other is B)

Edit: Dam I'm so stupid.. 

[Reply #626 on:]

My post was in response to Gorky's:

Agreed. The second half of 6B was a lot more enjoyable than the first half.

So I was halving 6B. Not really sure why though. It really makes no difference the order they're shown in.

Although interestingly, my two least-favourite episodes of the series (Holiday Spectacular and Neutopia) aired next to each other.  

[Reply #627 on:]

Yep, I certainly agree with this. An extreme character like Bender being granted godlike powers...that raised high expectations.

[Reply #628 on:]

Yup, and he barely did anything cool with them...

[Reply #629 on:]

Instead we got Leela being a bitch, Fry's suicide attempt and a tacky ending...

[Reply #630 on:]

The ceiling fan joke was okay, but not really suitable as the only "god-action".
It would have been fitting (at least imhO) had Bender been granted these godlike powers, used them for epic deeds, but yet drew the most enjoyment out of those little childish jokes like letting someone step under a falling fan.
That would have also implied that still some of the old "trickster/joker" Bender did yet remain, making his return more plausible.

[Reply #631 on:]

I really loved the ceiling fan jokes.

[Reply #632 on:]

I sure KK didn't want it to be to similar to "Godfellas".

[Reply #633 on:]

But Godfellas contained no super cool God powers...

[Reply #634 on:]

I personally love each and every episode, obviously, but then again my favorite would be "A Fishful of Dollars". 

[Reply #635 on:]

Even when she's experiencing legitimate feelings and concerns, they still manage to make her seem like a selfish, demanding, unreasonable bitch. 

[Reply #636 on:]

Ugh, I hate all the negative opinions towards Ocw.

[Reply #637 on:]

I loved it.

It's not one of 'Futurama's all-time best-of-the-best episodes, but it's easily my favourite of 6B.

[Reply #638 on:]

I like it as well, though not as much as Cold Warriors and Reincarnation (coincidentally, the episodes before and after it.)

[Reply #639 on:]

Free speech.
