Good Ideas for Futurama Episodes

[on:]

If you've got ideas for Futurama episodes, feel free to share them, because personally I think the fans are good at thinking of them. The real problem I had with the last few seasons of Futurama was that it was a lot of the time very confined to Earth, and they didn't make all these interesting deliveries. So please, try to be more creative than the real creators.

Great ideas, FS!

The only one I have a (nitpicky) problem is the episode about Zoidberg finding the origin of his middle name. Seems too stale but hey, it's a concept idea. I shouldn't nitpick too much over an idea.

[Reply #3 on:]

Yeah, that is pretty nit-picky, but I wanted a Zoidberg-based one in there somewhere. I've always wanted to know his middle name, and I thought they could go like with the Simpsons. Except this would be on a larger scale because he could travel to a whole new planet.

What about something like this:

Episode #16 - Decapodian

War has erupted in the universe of Futurama once more. Earthicans are locking horns with an enemy that they were once bested by: the Decapodians. With Loyalties being called into question and people being conscripted into joining, Zoidberg must make the decision where his loyalties lay. Will he choose Earth, where he has known true Freedom? Or will he choose Decapod, his home-world?
