Tnuk should make a flashing spam gif for you. It will be interesting to see how Bender has sex with this vending machine, I imagine it'd be like all the other times, inserting jacks and whatnot...
This whole episode's logistics should be pretty interesting. I am certainly interested.

Thanks. Those numbers are terrific. They have to help comedy central when the show comes back. And the more eps to syndicate the better for fox.

It's best it doesn't turn into the next Simpsons, though.

i'm tired of the simpsons whine...  in fact i think the complaints are almost as old as the show itself...  it's still good... the xmas one a few weeks ago was awesome... but it's been on so long it's not special anymore... just like anything that's around a really long time... it's natural to take for granted or lose interest that's why i like futurama in 13 episode spurts... i think if we had gotten 26 or so every year we'd get spoiled and eventually lose interest... the waiting makes it more special and i want it on as long as possible... and there's so much more they can do here than on simpsons...

What dommyinla said, Futurama has a billion possibilities for story ideas... Sure, some of them don't work, but at least it gets that one type of story out of the way.

The more time travel the better. As long as it doesn't start to get stale...
TLPJF, AW YEAH. ATPH, hm....
And they're gonna need to focus super hard on continuity if the time travel gets advanced again.

ATPH was good, but it felt rushed...

I'd be quite happy if they left time travel for a bit, I mean it's been pointed out that there's the potential for a lot of story ideas, so why keep coming back to time travel? I'm not saying never come back, but take some time away from it before we end up with another ATPH, or something even worse!...

They need a recurring theme that's not Time Travel or AOI related... Spin-off episodes? Like one episode a season? A Day in the Life of Morbo or something...

Fun on a Bun sounds like something to do with Bender's love for being a chef...  Naturama? Hm... And Free Will was probably the working title of Freewill Hunting, as DXC released the title of Freewill Hunting less than 2 months ago...

Perhaps as part of a trilogy episode that could work, nice idea!... As for the new Futurama episode titles, meh. None of them are very inspiring...

I completely agree. Roswell That Ends Well was awesome, as was The Late Philip J. Fry...now they're just making a mockery out of it with ATPH...in itself not a bad episode, but the method used for travel I didn't like at all. Naturama? Sounds like their token activist episode this season heh... Also sounds like they're running out of episode titles.

ATPH isn't that memorable to me, the thing that sticks with me the most is Fry halfway into the episode:
"Now I get it!"
Also:
"Bender bit a poo penny! Bender bit a poo penny!"

possible time travel methods
1) they find the real delorean that inspired back to the future buried in old hollywood and it actually works
2) they get sucked thru a black hole as it's getting sucked by an even larger black hole as it's sucked by the largest black hole in the universe... then blah blah blah they moved somewhere in time
3) they fly through a rift in the space/time continuum (caused byan explosyion caused by fry's mistake) that sends them hurdling through time... and then they get to earth it's a different year and they have to get back by finding the same rift they came through
4) bender makes a dinner that's so bad and he uses a rare ingredient from a rare slug from the slug planet... and this causes whoever eats his dinner to travel backwards in time based on how much they ate... then as the food is processed through them they don't go back to the present until they poop it out
5) delivering a package to the ancient pyramids they find a previously undiscovered tomb... inside is a time traveler that's been trapped there since the pyramids were built. he takes them to his machine buried in the rear of the sphinx and fry or someone goes along for the ride back to his futuristic time.
