What is your favorite episode?

[#280 :]

Twice, I guess it's just some of his other posts that have caused me to have a low tolerance for him. Sorry Stum.

[#281 :]

I can assure you that only a minority think JB is overrated.

It also depends on how "overrated" is actually defined; I wouldn't put JB in my top 10, but I certainly wouldn't call it overrated either.

[#282 :]

I doubt the whole forum would get on my back if I said I liked Jurassic Bark. It's still a fairly popular episode, and will probably rank high in the Season 4 Hurt & Heal.

[#283 :]

Nobody would blink an eye if you said you liked it. It's about as controversial as disliking "Yo Leela Leela"

[#284 :]

Yeah, I'm not really sure why ShinyMetal*** thinks that people would care if you said you like it. No offense though, SMA.

[#285 :]

Yeah, I sort of got all dramatic with that, which we all know I usually don't do. I really could care less if he likes it or not, I think I just took out all my anger from some of his other posts in this forum. 

[#286 :]

KEEP YOUR COMMENTS IN YOUR POCKET.



Seriously though, someone liking/disliking Jurassic Bark a little more than most others here isn't really anything to get upset about. It's not like they're advocating for the Holiday Spectacular to be ranked best episode ever or anything.

[#287 :]

I know, my apologies.

[#288 :]

I finally got around to making my top ten list, and it goes like this:

1. The Sting
2. Roswell That Ends Well
3. The Why of Fry
4. Three Hundred Big Boys
5. The Luck of the Fryrish
6. The Prisoner of Benda
7. Meanwhile
8. The Series Has Landed
9. Amazon Women in the Mood
10. Reincarnation

[#289 :]

 Thats a pretty awsome list. I completely agree on making "The Sting," first.

[#290 :]

After a recent re-watch of most of Season 7A, I've realized that 'Arms' may not be my favorite episode after all. Sure, it is very funy, and it has a greats tory, but when compared to classics such as Roswell, it's lower quality is more apparent. I'm not saying it's bad, but it simply may not be as good as I thought. With that, here's another revised top ten...

1. The Late Phillip J. Fry
2. Roswell that Ends Well
3. The Why of Fry
4. The Prisoner of Benda
5. Space Pilot 3000
6. The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings
7. Meanwhile
8. Murder on the Planet Express
9. Time Keeps on Slippin'
10. The Sting


^{Wow, it's surprisingly hard to make a final version of this list.}

[#291 :]

I have a tough time choosing just one, let alone 10 or 25...

Am I alone with That darn Katz?

[#292 :]

I really enjoyed That Darn Katz, but it wouldn't make my top 10, or even top 25.

[#293 :]

If so, which ones?

[#294 :]

Meanwhile is one of my favorites; SMFP and Forty Percent Leadbelly are some of my least favorites.

[#295 :]

"Murder on the Planet Express" and "Game if Tones" both squeeze into my top 20.

"Saturday Morning Fun Pit" is right at the bottom, at position #140.

[#296 :]

"Forty Percent Leadbelly", "2-D Blacktop", "T.: The Terrestrial", "Fry and Leela's Big Fling", "Calculon 2.0", "Assie Come Home", "Leela and the Genestalk" and "Game of Tones" all rank among my least favourites.

"Meanwhile" ranks among my favourites.

[#297 :]

Game of Tones, Murder on the Planet Express, and Meanwhile rank among my favorites.

Forty Percent Leadbelly and Leela and the Genestalk rank among my least favorites.

[#298 :]

Murder on the Planet Express and Calculon 2.0 would both make my top 30. Murder might even make top 10.

Assie Come Home would be near the bottom, pardon the pun.

[#299 :]

That was great actually... 

[#300 :]

Man, I forgot about "Murder on the Planet Express" and "Leela and the Genestalk". They're definitely some of my least favorites as well.

[#301 :]

I'm with the majority here, as 'Murder on the Planet Express', 'Game of Tones', and 'Meanwhile' all made it into my favorites.

'40% Leadbelly' and 'Saturgay Mourning Dumb Shit' are among my very least favorites, however. In fact, they'd likely be in my top ten least favorite.

[#302 :]

I didn't really like 'Murder on the Planet Express,' but I do like 'Game of Tones.'

[#303 :]

What episodes have you watched so far, SMA? I just want to know.

[#304 :]

The only thing I didn't really like about MOTPE was how rushed the ending felt. It seemed like they tried to wrap up the story much too quickly. However, I think the high-quality of the rest of the episode made up for it's ending, and at least the ending was somewhat humorous.

[#305 :]

What episodes have you watched so far, SMA? I just want to know.

Quite a few, too many to post actually. I was just replying to MRM and LMP's discussion.

[#306 :]

I didn't really like 'Murder on the Planet Express,' but I do like 'Game of Tones.'

I agree, that episode isn't as great as people make it out to be.  It's great, but not one of the the very best like some people seem to think.

Also, I'd say every three segment episode besides AOI I & II is near the bottom for me.  I like them all atleast somewhat (yes, even SMP) I just much prefer normal episodes.

[#307 :]

The only CC run three parter I enjoyed was Reincarnation. All the other ones were terrible, in my opinion, and just made the new run look bad. I think the very worst 3-parter was Holiday Spectacular, followed by Naturama and Saturday Morning Fun Pit.Did we really need a new three-parter every subseason? I think that they should've just continued the Anthology of Interests. At least that way, if the episode was bad, we could've simply assumed that the What if Machine was glitching or something like that  .

[#308 :]

I thought Naturama was okay; and certainly better than SMFP and TFHS. It was an amusing piece of satire on nature and nature documentaries that managed to retain the spirit of Futurama for the most part. That said, I would've definitely taken "Anthology of Interest III" over it any day of the week.

Saturday Morning Flop Pit on the other hand was a complete and utter failure. The first segment relied entirely on the viewer knowing the tropes related to Scooby-Doo whislt still failing to be funny. The second and third segments were essentially a single joke drawn out for seven minutes each. To it's credit, the "I must get those healthy purple berries!" gag was funny, and so where some of Nixon's edits. But overall it's by far the most unfunny episode of the series for me.

[#309 :]

Agreed about SMFP barely being funny. The only things I really laughed at  were Nixon's edits, though after a minute of two they got very tiresome. I disliked the Scooby Doo segment because it had all been done in other parodies before, making it into a sort of rehash. The purpleberries segment was almost embarrassing for me to watch, partly because of how unfunny it was, and mostly because it made me feel like I had popped in an old VHS of Strawberry Shortcake. When I'm watching a parody, I want to be able to tell that i'm watching a fake version, not think that the parody actually is the real deal.  It was saved by the 'Healthy Purpleberries' clips, but even those weren't enough to save the segment.

[#310 :]

Meanwhile, Calculon 2.0 and Murder on the Planet Express, for sure. The rest will require multiple viewings.

Also, what's with all these way-too-specific threads you've been making? You're aware that there's a "general Furama discussion" thread for such purposes, right?

[#311 :]

He's been making these threads and I keep tossing them into the general discussion threads. This one gets merged with Nix's old thread.

Stum - USE THE SEARCH FUNCTION. PLEASE.

[#312 :]

Isn't this thread basically the same as this one?

[#313 :]

No; it's basically the same as what you'd get if a mod merged that thread with the "What's your 2nd favourite episode?", "3rd favourite episode", "4th", "5th", "6th", "7th", "8th", "9th" and "10th favourite episode?" threads.

[#314 :]

I don't have anything against Saturday Morning Fun Pit. It had potential to be funnier than it actually was. They didn't really have to be so obvious about what they were making fun of. (for ex. pointing out stuff like them driving through a repeating forest).
I kinda wish it were made in a Anthology of Interest style: (what if we were a cartoon) and in that case only lasted a third of an episode.

Did we really need a new three-parter every subseason?

I believe those were made to keep up with the 26 episode orders. At least we didn't get clip shows.

[#315 :]

Would anyone else here put Crimes of the Hot in their top 20?  I personally love that one, it's way underrated.

[#316 :]

It probably would've been in my top 20 pre-CC run. I still adore that episode, though.

[#317 :]

My favorite episode is The Problem with Popplers.

[#318 :]

My favorite episode is The Problem with Popplers.

Really? Out of all them? Oh well, who am I to judge. Welcome to peel, Note!

[#319 :]

Are you really that surprised?  I've seen Problem with Popplers in tons of top 10 lists, so I'm not surprised that someone would have it as their number one spot.

I'm starting to let Meanwhile get very close to my number one spot.  It feels like it won't be long before it takes the crown.
