^^ Yup.

Crimes of the Hot -- Crimes of the Heart (1986 chick-flick. Apparently also a famous play) ?

I know. It's freaky.

Best thing ever!

I've added those in (I had always assumed "Bend Her" was just a reference to Bender, but now I think it's so obviously Ben Hur). That's a bunch more done. Still left:

Mars University
Anthology of Interest I
Anthology of Interest II
Leela's Homeworld
Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV
The Why of Fry
Three Hundred Big Boys

Of these, I don't think "Mars University" or the "Anthology of Interest" episodes reference anything, and I'm pretty sure "BSNBAOTV" and "Three Hundred Big Boys" do - I just can't remember what.

Mars Universityy doesn't parody any movie, mostly IMHO because there are three movies being parodied 1. Animal House  2.  Up The Creek, and lastly the all time Ronald Reagan classic Bonzo Goes to College.

I believe the saying is actually "Idle hands are the Devils playthings"

The same theory applies to Leelas' Homeworld, the parody seems to be mostly about Married With Children.

No, that would be "A Bicyclops Built For Two".

I stand corrected, I posted it and realized that I had made this error but was not savvy enough to edit it to be correct.

Tidbit: Asimov's A Clone of My Own is set to the tune of Home on The Range, the state anthem of Kansas and title song of the film "Where The Buffalo Roam", which is referenced in the episode title "Where The Buggalo Roam".

Full circle!

I hated Cubert in a Clone of my own, so boring he was.
