Episodes That Should Have Been Made

[on:]

 The Return of Barbados Slim
 A Exploration of Hermes background (all the rest of the cast were allowed in various episodes... even Kif).
 Zapp Branigan becoming president of Earth after the abduction of Nixon by the Robot Devil.
 The Return of the Zookeeper (that guy needed soo much more scene time)*italic-text*

[Reply #1 on:]

NOT the zookeeper!! That guy raped so many donkeys ! I would like to see some more of the PE ship (as a character)
*bold-text*

[EDIT]Hasn't this been done?[/EDIT]

I think an exploration of Hermes's background would be appropriate, not to mention funny.

[Reply #3 on:]

more hedonism bot - he made the last episode for me

[Reply #4 on:]

More locations on earth would have been cool. Different counrties etc.

[Reply #5 on:]

The zoo-keeper was really annoying for me but another episode for Hermes would have been great I think.

[Reply #6 on:]

I would have liked to have seen Leela actually search for her parents.

Also Nibbler's "The Other" comment explained

[Reply #7 on:]

I also just LOVED the parabox ep. I would have liked to see more parallel universes, maybe for them to spend more time in them. And it would have been cool to see the PE crew in Fry's time, although that would have shattered the "No Time Travel" rule.

ah damn that reminded me im such a dork i had a futurama dream...i was watching fry and amy try to builed a plane to try to fly out of some ring shaped jail or something when all of the sudden a fry and amy from a different universe came flying in on a plane they made only they were from a universe made of paper and they flew into the real fry and amys propeller and got minced to pieces.

[Reply #9 on:]

They should make an episode based on that!

[Reply #10 on:]

haha yeah i dream good episodes.

Now I like Venus, I think she's a good PEEL'er, but quite frankly I agree with everything she just said!

Also a survival-episode with just Leela and Amy. Not like AWITM, more just the two of them stranded in a jungle and depending on eachother for survival. Would've been a great opurtunity for them to really make some catty remarks at eachother, but in the end it's only by combining forces and exploiting the strenghts of both personas they'll make it out alive. Yeah, it's cliché but I think the show lacked some good Amy/Leela episodes.

Did you ever write any fanfiction, Teral?

I like this idea, and it's quite likely that Slim would feature in an episode about Hermes' past, so that would be killing two birds with one stone.  As far as exploring characters' backgrounds, that's never been done with Zapp, either.

 

Zapp Branigan becoming president of Earth after the abduction of Nixon by the Robot Devil.

Since "Bend Her" takes place in 3004, it would probably be getting close to the time for another election in the Futurama world anyway.

Not yet, soon hopefully. Otherwise my project-buddies will beat me to a bloddy pulp.

The only problem with that idea is that you can't show HLS on network television.   

Anyway, I would have liked to have seen a return of Michelle and/or Morgan Proctor.  Either one of them would have made a good recurring nemesis.

Show spoiler

not really sure if this is a spoiler but its on one of the season 4 dvd commentaries that they wanted to make a barbados slim episode but couldnt think up a good enough idea for one

No but I have, and it's a Leela/Amy survival thingy, and ironically Teral is the only one to have read a large part of it - since it's not quite finished - a coincidence all this!?!
Grrrrr.
You know I'm only joking Mike, I still need you to boost my fluctuating ego

I had a snappy comment here, but that would give away important plot-elements. Can't have that.

Completely coincidental. As a old friend once said, "I believe in coincidences, they happen every day, I just don't trust them."

I would like to see an episode where Fry, Leela, and Bender do some detective/cop-style work.  I'm working on a fanfic based on this.  I, too have had some Futurama related dreams, myself.  But that's for another day!   

[Reply #20 on:]

I think an Aliens parody might have been good.  And an all-out Lovecraftean story might have worked, with billion year-old ruins and godlike aliens from beyond space and all that.

That's frikken awesome. I love that. But what would Leela need Amy for? Withen a half hour of being stranded Leela would have a shelter built, a fire going, and would probably have killed some large animal for dinner with her bare hands. She would do just fine without Amy. Just give her a bloody volleyball with bad hair and all would be well.

Zed: this survival fic you speak of, is it the novel you're currently in the process of finishing?

[Reply #22 on:]

@Venus. Basically, though perhaps I flew slightly off the handle. It is about Amy and Leela having to survive together, but perhaps not to quite the degree as Teral hypothasises.
Or something.
Read it and find out. 

Having said that, perhaps a Fry/Bender survival thing may have been a cool idea too

ide like to see something with more stephen hawking...maybe opening up one of his copyrighted hawking holes and traveled to the future to kill fry... hold him down.

[Reply #25 on:]

I wonder if Stephen Hawking is still alive in the 31st century as a head in a jar.  If so, does he still have his voice synthesizer?

Ooohhh... The mysteries of the future... I bet he is. He won the noble prize MORE than once if I'm not mistaken. But I wonder how his voice synthesizer would work... I guess we'll never know....

I would have liked to have seen a full half-hour episode of "The Scary Door."

[Reply #28 on:]

i wish they did a few more regurlar episodes, like the what-if-a-tron ones, and a few more x-mas episodes

[Reply #29 on:]

[Newsmonster] Morbo demands that the entire puny human race be enslaved by Morbo's kind!
[Linda] 

I would have loved to have seen Morbo actually follow through in his threats and pick a random person to torture (I suggest the australian)...on a broadcast network! Morbo however will have to fight virtually an identical clone of him for market share and political support with the Newsmonster of his planet.

i think they should make a third anthology of interest episode where zoidberg, amy and hermes ask questions.zoidberg:what if i was a rich crustacean? amy:what if i wasn't cute anymore? hermes: what if the world was more organized?

[Reply #31 on:]

Hmm, this isn't a bad thread to dig up as its on a good subject so I would say I would like to see an episode which explains about 'the other' with the Nibblonians

[Reply #32 on:]

I would like to see an episode about Leela being 'the other', myself, Dave B.  There should also be another Anthology of Interest episode as well. 

I would like to see an episode about Fry revealing a secret weight problem and his chubbiness turns out to be a cover-up all along.
Plus, an episode where they go to a jungle planet. 

[Reply #33 on:]

Love the anthology III story ideas and I'm sure if the series lasts long enough the second time around we will learn more about the Leela/Other/Nibblonian thing, but the number one episode that I have wanted to see is one that explains the two following quotes from Leela:

"Still, given the chance, I'd give in to urges far more shocking." and "Have my years of wild hedonism finally caught up with me?"

On the other hand, a network tv version of that story could be disappointing. Guess I'll have to rely on good ol' fashioned imagination (and fan art from other sites).

[Reply #34 on:]

I would love to see a Neutral planet episode. The neutral humor is the dryest humor I've ever seen and I LOVE IT! So many possibilities!

[Reply #35 on:]

^^^ The neutrals are the best! ^^^

i would like to see an ep where more of the nibblonians and the brains story could be revealed. Also a story where a new crew member was introduced could be good (even better if they didn't stay and were a 1 ep thing)

[Reply #36 on:]

I would like to see episodes with:

• A delivery on Trisol(which is why I'm making a fic about that).
• Zoidberg becoming a Lord on Decapod after the death of his uncle's step-son's friend's dad's ex-roommate and then getting into trouble and being saved by the others(or not.MWAHAHAHA!)
• The What If Machine(lets just say Anthology Of Interest III) and Fry,Bender and a background character asking questions.
• A Xanfor and Katrina come-back.
• More of the Brainspawn,The Mighty One,The Nibblonians and of course The Other.

And last but most important:
A episode where it is revealed that Scruffy was the Legendary Defender of The Universe who stopped the Earthican army once,and with no-one trusting him before the Brainspawn make another attack and when everything is lost,Scruffy comes and stops The Brains using his super-ultra janitor powers.

That would be a laugh, but Fry is the true mighty one  as the concept of someone so stupid being the person who saves the entire Universe is just comical beyond belief

Fry clones himself, and his clone and Leela hook up. Fry and Bender then plot revenge on the clone.

There was a fan-fic about that!
 They should have made a episode where Planet Express sees a hostile takeover and Bender falls into the hands of criminals where he is used to fulfill their schemes.
