Well it's past 8:00pm so I guess the competition has ended. Here is the final result...

Bottom 10 Futurama Episodes

10. T: The Terrestrial
09. The Cryonic Woman
08. Neutopia
07. Saturday Morning Fun Pit
06. A Leela of Her Own
05. In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela
04. Yo Leela Leela
03. The Butterjunk Effect
02. Attack of the Killer App
01. The Futurama Holiday Spectacular

Feel free to comment on what you like/dislike about the list and maybe we could begin discussing some possible topics for the next Hurt and Heal or similar-style game.

Do some of the writers/characters/planets, why not?

[Reply #602 on:]

I like how there are three Leela episodes in a row.

[Reply #603 on:]

Four, actually. Five if you wanna count Killer App, which I wouldn't, to be honest.

[Reply #604 on:]

A lot of episodes with Leela's name in the title seem to be bad. It's some kind of weird curse.

I suggest we do characters next.

[Reply #605 on:]

Let's do mediums:

TV series [11] +1
straight-to-video film [10]
video game [10]
comic book [8] -2

[Reply #606 on:]

Seriously?

I can't think of a single thing with more predictable results.

[Reply #607 on:]

TV series [12] +1
straight-to-video film [8] -2
video game [10]
comic book [8]

Someone should add a Simpsons Hurt and Heal on PEEL.

[Reply #608 on:]

That'd take years. Like, there'd be billions of birthdays before that's be done.

Yeah. Maybe we should only go up to Season 12 for it.

[Reply #610 on:]

Seriously?

I thought it was quite obvious that I was joking. Next time, I'll end my post with a "؟".

[Reply #611 on:]

How about planets?

[Reply #612 on:]

I think characters could work well, we could separate it into rounds of main/secondary/recurring and one-time characters.

[Reply #613 on:]

Let's do "which US president would win in a fight?".

[Reply #614 on:]

Robot Nixon.

Next!

[Reply #615 on:]

How about Omercron Persei's?

I know I've probably said this before but I really don't see how something from a non-canon episode can actually ruin anything. Saying the stuff with the bees in TFHS ruins them is like saying The Un-Freeze of a Lifetime ruins Space Pilot 3000.

He....raises a good point.

A tad late, but so what

Anyway, even non-canon episodes are subject to a shows continutíty.
Fry still got frozen in the 20th century, the Professor still owns a small delivery company, Omicronians are still huge frog-like creatures, etc... you get the point.

AOIs charme lies in having a defined, specific aspect of the show changed, and to witness the dynamics that changed aspect conjures up in interaction with the established universe.

Now, TFHS was no AOI. The change on the bees was unnecessary, it did not come across as a "What-if" scenario", but rather as "crapping on the established continuity". Comparable to an episode that begins with Leela having two eyes, always having had to eyes, that appearance being treated as normal, but without having the slightest plot relevance.
