As for a Zapp's past episode, I'm not really for it (yet). You have to be careful with past episodes, because the audience normally already know how certain things turned out, so it's hard to justify doing them (coughStarWarsPrequelscough) frequently. I certainly wouldn't mind a Zapp's past episode, but they might want to hold off since there will already be a past episode involving the meeting of the Professor and Zoidberg (I also think that the Scruffy hiring will be a throwaway joke in this episode).
Really?, I was hoping for it to be a proper Scruffy origin episode...
Wouldn't that ruin the character of Scruffy?
Probably....but then he doesn't have a real character at the moment... Edit: Whoo Bending Unit! didn't notice that before oh and TOTP

No, Scruffy is more of a joke. Cohen mention this a lot in the commentaries. He goes to specify that Scruffy is hard to put in, because every time they do, they'll have to slow down, because Scruffy does everything really slow. The whole joke about Scruffy is that we don't know who is other than being the janitor. He is a throwaway character, that you can just throw all sorts of odd jokes on, like Fry's "I never told anyone -- not even Scruffy!"

I'm guessing that the Zoidberg/Professor episode will end with Scruffy casually walking in after its (past) events, asking for a job, and then getting hired (like three sentences).
You have destroyed my image of that episode. But it is probably what will happen.

Does Scruffy even have a house or an appartment?
Fry both has his home and mobile number, so I guess the answer is yes.

'Hustler' isn't a futuristic enough name. It would have to be 'Space Hustler' or something like that... "National Pornographic?" "Zero-G Jugs?""Zero-G Juggs?" Space Illustrated: Sexy Spacesuit Issue?"

Don't mean to be grumpy but this is the news thread (just the facts ma'am). There are other threads for speculation, wishes, opinions, arguing, criticisms, etc.
Don't know what to tell you, man. We used this board yesterday for discussion of Scruffy. A couple of 2 parter episodes might be nice. That's something they've never done till now.
Well, they've sort-of done some 2-parters. 101 and 102, 307 and 410, and 302 and 418. Not to forget that each chapter of the various films is shown as one-part out of four (although this doesn't really count, since that's like splitting up the LOTR Trilogy into 45-minute segments and calling it a mini-series, but it bears mentioning).
