This episode deserved the Emmy more than "Amazon Women" or "HOMR."

I liked "The Luck of the Fryrish." It was different from all of the other epesodes because this one was reflecting on Fry's past and his family. It isn't one of my favorites but I really liked it.

First off I have to say that I was watching season 3 on dvd and my Dad was reading out the episode names (having not seen them yet) and he saw this one and said "Luck of the Fryrish" heh-heh I swear, ever since I first saw this ep back in March, I thought it was Fryish not FryRish....every time I've read the title I've been saying to myself Fryish....anyway Don't think I've reviewed this one yet so.... One of my favourites, of course the ending was unexpected and very moving....the past storylines were cool and tied in well.... Is the snoring horse the funniest thing you've ever seen....? Also did anyone notice the part where Fry is holding up the clover, just after he beats Yancy at basketball, the next shot that shows the PE crew at the desk matches up with the leaves on the clover....? You guys probably knew that already meh....

I don't liek this episode very much..it's sweet and all, but...well, I'm not sure. It maybe because it had almost no shippy content.
It had some funny lines in it, not enough to keep me laughing all the way through, though.
It was good to see background to Fry's childhood, I'll say that. The flashbacks were executed in a good manner as well.
Now, the ending, I didn't get teary over. It was ssad, sure, but not to the extent that I cried. Leela's Homeworld was much sadder, IMO. The song was fun though.
B- Comedy- 6/10 Emotion- 7/10 Shippiness- 2/10 Animation- 5/10 Plot- 8/10

I've expressed my feelings about this episode too many times to be arsed to do it again, so marvel as I blatantly copy and paste my opinions from the "Fall Madness Predictions" thread: Originally posted by Mouse On Venus: With regards to Fryrish, I've said this many a time now, but that episode lost points for me because of the stilted, unnatural dialogue of much of the second two acts. There's no denying it had a fantastic original plot but I was disappointed majorly with the execution I'm afraid.
Perhaps it was all the 80s elements that I didn't really connect with (Huey Lewis, the K-Tel ad reference, The Breakfast Club and Simple Minds who didn't do a thing for me in that last scene to be honest) that didn't work for me. Or the Leela lines about Tetris, old comedians and going into space for donuts. Or the Bender railway part. But all the way through those second and third acts I had to force myself to laugh.
Now bear in mind I'm not one of those narrow minded people who thinks that Futurama should be pure comedy with no room for character development and emotional scenes. But because the comedy element of those parts of the episode failed on me, so too did the emotional part due to my inability to become totally engrossed in the ep.
I know Futurama are more than capable of pulling the whole package off successfully, which for me they achieved with Parasites Lost and TKOS. In retrospect I do like the originality of the plot on LOTF and therefore the episode should've been right up my street. But sadly it just wasn't. I enjoyed the racetrack part, though.

I realize that this post is coming a lot later than everyone else, but I just found this today so I'm posting in it, deal with it. I've noticed that some people feel his episode is not up to schnapp because they couldn't connect with it. I don't think it was the 80's references. It was the brother thing. I will just say right now, and I am not being sexist, but women cannot fully feel this episode. I grew up with one brother, just like Fry and Yancy, and that was what made me love this episode, the whole brotherly love thing. I actually am brought to tears everytime I see this episode, especially when Yancy is naming his son. Say what you want about this episode, I think it is the best one ever. Women get the Leela ones, but this one is for all the bros out there.

I like this episode a lot.
I have always liked a different ending in my TV shows or even movies for that matter. Like in 28 Days Later, I prefer the alternate ending (on the DVD) in which the lead character dies.

Including why I didn't like the episode despite the fact that I'm a brother, and that several people of a female persuasion loved this episode, as you'd know if you read the rest of the thread.

Yes, that song is very sweet. Though it always makes me think more of LEELA and Fry.. It seems too romantic for brothers, but meh..

I think it was a great episode. I like it when the more vulnerable side of a charater is shown. You wouldn't have had to have grown up in the 80s to appreciate it, nor be a guy, just having had an older brother was enough for it to be touching to me.
