Filler Episodes

[on:]

Which Futurama episodes do you think were just filler episodes?

"Space Pilot: 3000", "Leela's Homeworld" and "The Why of Fry".  Three episodes clearly unneccessary to the plot.

Good one, PCC.

Since it's not strictly-speaking a mythology-based show I don't really know that any could be considered filler because there's not that much to be filling-in for. I mean, you could say that all the episodes that don't deal with the brainspawn or Fry's origin or his relationship with Leela are technically 'filler', but sci-fi mytharc isn't the focal point of the show - it's a comedy, so such classifications are unfair.

If you mean to ask which episodes seem weak, then the only one that immediately comes to mind is The Honking, which I always found to be kind of lazy and generic.
