Zoidberg's been getting more lines lately, but his one spotlight episode, That's Lobstertainment!, also fell victim to Bender's scene-stealing.....

Etc, etc, etc

what kind of wacky show is this if it focuses on the main characters? outrageous 

Need I remind you that the only thing that sucks more than a Bender centric episode is a Zoidberg epside?  If you ask me (and you won't) "That's Lobstertainment!" "fell victim" to trying to stretch a background character with a boring/stupid backstory into a full episode.  One liners=funny.  Boring crap= sucks

Nope. There were six episodes that were supposed to air this season but didn't:

A Tale of Two Santas*
Where the Buggalo Roam
The Route of All Evil
A Leela of her Own
A Pharoah to Remember
Anthology of Interest II*

This is in addition to the four episodes that were never intended to be shown this season:

The Top Secret Season Premiere Extravaganza
Ironic Chef
Godfellas
Future Stock

*pre-empted by FOX for no raisin

And that would be how many Zoidberg eps?  I'm counted a whopping two.

And yet "Why Must I Be a Crustaceon In Love" is considered by many to be a classic.

Explain "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love", then.

Gah! That's the second time I said the exact same thing as someone who posted just a minute before me!

Was it me the first time, too?  Dang, I can't think of a way NOT to make that sound incredibly dirty.

First appearence of modified sig!

Yeah but Zoidberg wasn't completely in character for Crustacean In Love. They changed him and made him all aggressive and violent and stuff. They had a good reason for it, of course, but it doesn't really show that Zoidberg has enough depth for a full episode.

[Reply #48 on:]

in season 4 i want a lot of crazy stuff happening...fry should get into more relationships...its funny when he does  and definitely more professor inventions... 

[Reply #49 on:]

The thing about Crustaceon is that it was almost as much about Fry as it was about Zoidberg, and I have no problem with that.  Use the same formula, I say: reveal a hidden part of Zoidberg's character, perferably something funny, and include one of the more major characters, not necessarily Fry, as one of the major players in the episode's plot.

plus, while is was a decent episode, I personally wouldn't say its one of the best anyway.  Didn't it have amy nudity?  I have to consider you are biased, kryten   

[Reply #51 on:]

oh yeah...that one scene with leela, amy and fry...that is the most hilarious clip of futurama i've ever seen... 

[Reply #52 on:]

getting back on topic, id like to see more Zapp

[Reply #53 on:]

Less bender,more new characters(not just for one ep)and the returnof Flexo.

[Reply #54 on:]

More Flexo will probably have to equal more Bender.  An episode with just Flexo will probably lose itself.

[Reply #55 on:]

i closed the other topic, so post here

[Reply #56 on:]

we need more minor characters...and we need more zapp he hardly showed up this season

There WAS that one episode involving a planet of giant, horny, scantily clad women . . . I think it was nominated for an award of some sort . . .

[Reply #58 on:]

Yeah, but that was only one episode. One ep of Zapp a season just isn't enough.

[Reply #59 on:]

Well he was in War Is The H-Word, too. But that was technically a season 2 episode. Plus both episodes came at the beginning of the season, leaving us Zapp-less for like a year.

He did have a cameo (and a great line) in "I Dated a Robot"...

Okay, you asked for it! SPOILERS AHEAD!

Show spoiler

Godfellas: Bender gets shot into space and winds up on a planet where they worship him as a god.

Ironic Chef: Bender contends against Elzar in an "Iron Chef"-type competition.

Future Stock: Planet Express's annual shareholders' meeting goes horribly, tragically wrong.

In all of the above episodes, Wacky Hijinks Ensue, of course...

EXTRA-HEAVY SPOILERS FOR THE 4TH-SEASON PREMIERE, "THE TOP-SECRET SEASON PREMIERE EXTRAVAGANZA"!!

Show spoiler

The crew goes back in time to the year 1947, to a place called Roswell, where Zoidberg gets captured by the Air Force, and Fry becomes his own grandfather!

[Reply #70 on:]

who takes bets that Fox will screw up and not send "THE TOP-SECRET SEASON PREMIERE EXTRAVAGANZA" as the season premier ? 

[Reply #71 on:]

They'll give us one of the held over episodes.  No doubt about it.  What else can you expect from Fox? At least, they might not butcher it so much.  The amount of pre-empted eppys last season made me want to puke. 

[Reply #72 on:]

I wanna see more Anthologies of Interest, and I guess we will. !!YAY!! YAY!! YAY!!
Oops, I read the spoiler. Oh well...I guess it'll take like two years before they show season 4 in Norway.

I hate FOX so much. So... very... much...   

What's your new quote from, Theta?

[Reply #74 on:]

Don't tell me you've never see the MST of Invasion of the Neptune Men.  It's one of the Japanese movies.  Like Gamera.
"Did you know that Gamera is friend to children?"

[Reply #75 on:]

More Fansworth... and less Zoidberg, this character is very strange. It would be less romance, but just in this season. In the 5th one I wanna see a little Fry & Leela romance.

[Reply #76 on:]

Thanks Kryten!

[Reply #77 on:]

Time for another one of my unnecessary posts.  As a romantic, I agree with Slavon.  Not as much romance this season involving another one of Fry's desperate attempts to win Leela over.  I think that if anything's gonna happen between them ever, she has to stop being so self-righteous and realize that she's not as perfect as she assumes herself to be.  I personally think a way to deflate her ego would be to introduce the idea that(And I know everyone's gonna disagree with me on this one, but who cares?) she isn't really what she claims to be.  Meaning that rather than being an alien, she's really a mutant.  Once she found this out, she'd feel terrible(Who wouldn't?) and run out crying ala WMIBACIL.  Naturally, her "best friend" would follow her and give her a shoulder to cry on.  Not only would this lower her opinion of herself, but she would also know that he really cared about her and it might bring them closer.  It probably isn't, but it could be a possibility since at Fox's site it's hinted that she goes looking for her parents.  I think that it would be a good way to further their relationship without the annoying aspect of her rejecting him.  Then, should there be a fifth season(And there will be, darnit!), we need only wait for one or the other to break the ice.  It may not be a good idea, but it is an idea.  And it's a way to get rid of the constant rejection we had in Season 3.  Of course, it would mostly be an episode for us sentimentalists. 

[Reply #78 on:]

I think Leela's hiding something about herself cause she always has pathetic excuses for not going out with Fry.
For example:
"you're a man and I'm a woman.  We're just too different."  give me a break.
"I like his boyish charm, but I hate his immiturity"  or something like that.
Fry: "I am a robot.  Why else would human women refuse to date me?"
Leela: "Oh, lots of reasons."  It's like she really wants to go out with him but something's holding her back.  But whatever.  I think they should go more places and make deliveries like they did in season 1. 

[Reply #79 on:]

I'd like to see a two part story and a cliff hanger ending to the season. That would be great!
More Zoidberg of course!! and more Mom!
