Which episodes "grow the brand?"

[on:]

Hey lol sorry if the title is misleading, but I'm wondering which episodes grew on you? Which are the ones that you used to hate but after watching them over time you now love them? 

For me, it would have to be Futurestock and also Less than Hero.  I guess it all depends on what phase in life you are in, but the sleazy business attitude of That Guy seems so cool to me!  So what about everyone else?

Also, if you feel like there are episodes that you used to love but now you hate, feel free to tell us and give a reason why.  Personally, I can't think of any for me lol

I went into "A Leela on her own" expecting the worst but was actually pleasantly surprised.  Sorry, still don't like Futurestock that much

Time Keeps On Slippin' was my least favorite episode until I saw it a second time, now it's one of my favorites.

I used to dislike Raging Bender but I like that a lot now. The Deep South was also one that grew on me.

Episodes that grew on me were probably Less than Hero and The Deep South. Also, The Cryogenic Woman. I didn't think it was that bad. XP

"Leela's Homeworld"

*is shot*

Seriously, when I first saw it I thought it was disappointing.  It wrapped up far too quickly (IMO) a subplot that we'd been teased with for years, and I didn't think it was particularly well written or directed.

But the more I watch it, the less unhappy I am with it.

"Less Than Hero" also grew on me, but it took a while because I'm not heavily into that superhero/comic books scene it so often drew from.

Love's Labours and Brannigan Begin Again. I had to learn to accept that Zapp's bad judgment was contagious to those around him.

The Honking originally struck me as an inferior "too close to its source material" parody along the lines of Mars University or A Flight To Remember. But upon further review, I now think it ranks with the very best the series has to offer.

For me, the one episode that "Grew on me" was Bendin' In The Wind. At first I thought it wasen't that good, but after watching it a time or two more, it's now probely in my top 25.

Insane in the Mainframe got better after I watched it a couple of Times. Same with, um, that one with the 80's guy who's title has slipped my mind for the moment.

Yeah Futurestocks is a big grower, that can be watched again and again and still always be really funny. I never tire of that guy...

I've always love Futurestock, I remember that was the first Futurama episode I had ever seen and it stuck with me 

That's Lobstertainment used to rub me the wrong way, but now I really enjoy it.

The Cyronic Woman and Raging Bender are growing on me.... and the honking certainly grew on me. I dont think theres any episodes i actually dont like though.
