If you mean the "Horse PepsI OK?" bit, that's not in A Leela of Her Own, it's from The Luck of the Fryrish. And I actually like that joke, it's so ridiculous that it's funny!

It was supposed to represent that Fry is so involved with his dog, that he's not even distracted by thing's that would normaly interest him!
That and the whole fan eye candy thing.

Witness Leela's evening gown in "Lobstertainment", her dissapearing swimsuit from "300 Big Boys", or even her ever-so-sporty blernsball uniform in "Leela of Her Own" (sorry Teral) While I don't think the episode was in ned of a blast from the spice weasel (BAM!), I agree that it was an extremly sexy blernsball uniform. I laughed at David Cohen comment during "That's Lobstertainment": "But we didn't get any complaints about Leela's dress though."  Also from Lobstertainment, we shouldn't be too vocal in our critisism of an episode, the writers might confront us on it.  "A Pharaoh To Remember" still takes the cake as the worst episode. Dispite it's great animation and fanservice.

I always felt that "Bendin' in the wind" was the weakest Futurama episode. Actually, it seems to me that most Bender-centric episodes are below average. Episodes like "Bender Gets Made", "Bendless Love" and "30% Iron Chef" come to mind. I didn't mind "A Pharaoh to Remember" though I'll admit Bender was a bit more obnoxious than usual. "Raging Bender" was also very funny. I still feel Bender works best as a support character, which makes me a bit worried about the upcoming three episodes centered around him. Having said all this, Bender is still my favorite character on the show  KILL ALL HUMANS!

I'd have to say the Bender episodes are the worst.......by far.

'Kif gets Kocked up a Knotch' and 'Three Hundred Big boys' are just grating, especially the latter. The whole Kif and Amy thing has been done. 'Amazon women in the Mood' was very funny in spite of it, and 'Where the Buggalo roam' at least had some decent jokes in it. Kif is only funny when paired with Zap, and Amy is only funny when she's a spoiled, rich, easy, hipster-clutz. Futurama differs from the Simpsons in its continuous story arc, but why the romance and sexual tension?
for example, I liked Fry much better in the first season, when he was hardly interested in Leela, beyond the occasional superficial remark. They exhausted their relationship comedy seasons ago, and if the show isn't funny, what is it? I want a good sci-fi/humour cartoon, not Cheers or Moonlighting or Friends. Clever humour, not sitcom conventions, is what got me hooked on the show, i can only hope the last 5 eps contain more of the former.

I,Roommate is brilliant! So is Kiff Gets Knocked Up a Notch. I really don't understand why so many people don't like it, it's one of the best. I also like the Bender eps that everyone is dissing. They are some of the funniest, and most accessable episodes that will also appeal to more casual viewers. As I've said before the only eps that are below average are That's Lobstertainment, and A Leela of Her Own (which is actually slightly better than Lobstertainment).
Are there any eps that everyone likes? What I mean is, is there anybody that doesn't like Parasites Lost, or Teenage Mutant Leelas Hurdles...

Leela's HomeworldI can't stand the parents and it's freakin' underground mutants! Never a fan of the underground mutants. Futuristic mutants are so cliche' and not even the brilliant FUTURAMA writers and actors can make them interesting. I was still holding out hope that Leela would've been an alien. Though I liked the song at the end. There's an upside.  -cs

Originally posted by M Jackson: Are there any eps that everyone likes? What I mean is, is there anybody that doesn't like Parasites Lost, or Teenage Mutant Leelas Hurdles... I would say 'Luck of the Fryish' and 'Parasites Lost' are the only two episodes truly appreciated by almost all Futurama fans. Those few that don't like those episodes are probably ones that only like Futurama for the comedy and not the character development. Nothing wrong with that, but I think they're overlooking what elevates this show above other animated comedies. Another episode I can't imagine anyone not liking is 'Roswell That Ends Well'. I can't fathom how any fan of the show could fail to appreciate that episode. But then everyone is entitled to their opinion.

I'd say that everyone loves A Flight To Remember, When Aliens Attack, Fry and the Slurm Factory, Xmas Story, and The Deep South?

I don't know, I really like it. It may be a bit of a rehash of My Three Suns, but it's still great. The funeral scene is one of Futurama greatest moments, it's just so dark, quirky, and funny.
