Michelle ruined 219. The first act is brilliant but the rest was hit-and-miss, with miss being hit more often. An episode with the crew fired had so much potential but they squandered it on Michelle. She wasn't even a bad idea, so much as bad execution. Using her to tie into Fry's past could have predated Luck of the Fryish for Fry's Past episodes, but the crew went for tired Possessive Ex-Girlfriend jokes. A real shame.
As for whether there can be a worst episode of Futurama or not, there is. Everyone has one because while it can be hard, you can always nail down which is the worst episode for you, because you'll always be able to find one you don't like as much as the other 87. Try to remember that worst doesn't mean bad. It can be considered another way of saying least good.
Still, I do have worst episodes, where worst means bad (two, on the first page of this topic). We can all agree that the worst Futurama is better than most of everything on TV, but that seems like a moot point. Why bother comparing Futurama do dreck like crappy fat guy/fairly attractive wife sitcom #589? It's always going to come out favorably. I choose to compare Futurama do it's greatest competitor: Itself. The two episodes I picked absolutely fail to even be average Futurama episodes, so they are the worst.

Anyone who is going to come on to a forum about a show which has been cancelled for 5 years will be big fans who will atleast know who the stars of the show are (or so i thought until this guy came along)
If anybody really wants to piss off Nixorbo, mention seeing Nibbler's shadow on the first episode. I don't think he's banned anybody for that one - yet - but I'm sure it will happen one day.

Cryonic Woman. There is nothing that can save that episode. I detest Pauly Shore and Michelle is such a snarky character. I know that's the way she is supposed to be, but.... At least in Lobstertainment we see Fry and Leela in decent evening clothes. And in the Honking there is one great line. I believe what I am programmed to believe. When a robot says it that is funny.

The Route of All Evil and BWABB.
Aside from those two I'm a big fan of just about every other episode.
That still stands for me. The trouble with the Route of all Evil was that the main story just wasn't interesting or amusing. The few good moments were all relating to the sub plot. BWABB is essentially the feature length equivilant. I've probably said this elsewhere but the general rule of thumb for Futurama episodes is that the less of a part Fry plays the more likely it is to be a weak episode. The BWABB is the only exception to this rule.

I would guess that your favorite character would be Fry. Someone on this board said that unless the episode had a lot of Fry in it was not as good.
I must disagree about the BBS rap song. I, as a rule don't particularly like rap music but this is funny.
I've gotta slay those pimps, come on and pimp my sleigh.
The idea of putting the three holiday symbols together for murder and mayhem in my opinion was kinda cool.

I don't think that I could watch Bob and Doug. It is almost too much that they rip off The Great White North and the McKenzie brothers. I know this is OT but you did bring the brothers up.

The worst Futurama episode is one that doesn't exist.
I concur...

I must agree with LobsterMooch. I also like the commentary at that point…

anything Mike Scully wrote. DAMN HIM!!!!!?
Okay, first off, Mike Scully never wrote for Futurama; second, I wouldn't agree with that statement as it pertains to The Simpsons, anyway, because most of the episodes that Scully has a writing credit for are actually good. Anyway. The other night "The Lesser of Two Evils" was on, and I realized that it's another episode where the set-up is creative and fun, but the episode after act one is kind of (for me, at least) a disappointment. And as for Ken Keeler: I'm a bigger proponent of the merits of "Bender's Big Score" than most, so for me, Keeler's really never disappointed. And I could never understand why the songs in BBS were so disliked by people; I thought they were clever, though not as brilliant as the songs the series was known for.
