Bender on Entertainment Weekly

[on:]

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned, but Bender's was mentioned in Entertainment Weekly as part of  "the 50 greatest sidekicks of all time"

Bender came at number 46.

Waylon Smithers, Barney Rubble and others are also list.

Sidekick?! I play second fiddle to noone. EW can bite my shiny metal ass. I'm the hero, Fry is my sidekick!

It's a shame that this is the picture over Bender's name. We got renewed, darn it!

Bender may not have gotten his own photo, but at least we'll be seeing more of him in the future.

To bad he made the ass end of the list, but I'm honestly surprised entertainment weekly even mentioned him

That's awesome that Bender got a mention!  Still, he should've ranked higher than a 46.  Bender certainly wouldn't consider himself a sidekick.  At least we'll be seeing a lot of Bender in the near future.

Speaking of Entertainment Weekly, did anyone read the Futurama article back when the show came out?

Yeah, and did anyone get my pun?

We got renewed, I said, and that guy's name is 'Rerun'. I thought it was obvious!

We get it rerun.  Ha Ha ha.  I thought it was clever.

I didn't know his name, which might explain why I was oblivious.
In fact, for a second, I thought that guy was Kenan.
