"The Sting", aye I am an emo-hearted romantic and this episode is just awesome. Epic love story.. :*(
"The Sting" is indeed a very good emotional episode. I really love how Futurama puts in those really emotional episodes sometimes and yet manage to include a lot of jokes in them (Like Luck Of The Fryrish and Jurassic Bark) The problem with the sting, for me at least, is that it's not very re-watchable. It's not as exciting for the second time since you already know it's all a hallucination and Leela's actually the one in a coma. The more funny episodes have jokes that you can hear dozens of times and still laugh each time. That's why I prefer them. However, I don't doubt that the first time you watch The Sting it's a really amazing one.

The emotional side of some of the episodes is what really makes the show stand out. Parasites Lost turned my favorite show from The Simpsons to Futurama. And yes, I agree, they simply added that new depth without taking away the already great comical side of the emotional episodes! It's a recipe for success...
I think it was DXC who mentioned that they often start with a serious story, and add comedy elements later. Well..I do not have certain preferences regarding serious or whacky episodes, a good mixture is imhO the key.

"Don't you worry about Planet Express, let me worry about blank". "Blank? BLANK?! You're not looking at the big picture!" Future Stock has to be one of my favourite episodes

Either "Amazon Women in the Mood" or "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings." The latter epitomizes everything that makes the show great to me, while the former is just fuckin' hilarious

Any episode sexually involving Leela or - even more as Leela isn't as sexy as once was - AMY That said, I believe the best episodes tend to feature the Robot Devil. Dan Castellenada showing another string to his bow

1. Dan Castelleneta. 2. He'd done voice acting before. In fact, another Matt Groening cartoon made him quite famous for it. It's not like he's "adding another string to his bow" by doing Futurama. 3. Lists are cool. I like lists. They're not as awesome as graphs, but they're pretty neat.

I'm sorry Phil K, but tnuk really showed you with this post! Especially #3! Anyway, I got Vol. 3 of Futurama from my Dad today. I plan on watching my favorite episode: Parasites Lost soon.

Dan Castellaneta2. He'd done voice acting before. In fact, another Matt Groening cartoon made him quite famous for it. It's not like he's "adding another string to his bow" by doing Futurama.
His IMDb and Wikipedia pages show nothing before The Tracey Ullman Show except a small part in a live action movie called Nothing in Common. He was cast as Homer on The Simpsons shorts because he was already a cast member of The Tracey Ullman Show and the producers didn't want to hire too many outside actors. 3. Lists are cool. I like lists. They're not as awesome as graphs, but they're pretty neat.
Second.

My point was that he'd done voice acting work for Groening before Futurama. I'm well aware that voicing Homer and various other Simpsons characters was the extent of this previous VA work. Which is unsurprising, given that Groening hasn't produced any other cartoons.Between The Simpsons and Futurama, he's done other shows. Dan Castellenada showing another string to his bow

D'oh! I had a feeling I should have looked up the spelling.

Don't worry Fabien, I liked Neutopia too, but what SGB said, a lot of people on PEEL don't... But relax, they're not gonna hunt you down. Maybe just question why you like the episode, then respond to you with a huge paragraph about (what they think are) it's flaws.

But let's face it, many of the people watching this show ARE watching it with their seven cats.

"Katz" was imhO a rather solid episode, the plot was absurd/grotesque enough Just one thing was missing: With an Asian girl foiling the plan of evil cats, you'd expect her key to victory would also bear some "culinary" aspect (Yep, that was not really politically correct.. )

That Darn Katz rubbed me the wrong way, and I have two cats.
1 - Yes cats are cute. Cuteness as an outright mass mind control device is a stupid plot point.
2 - Why do they need to screw over the Earth specifically? Surely there exist other less populous planets they could have leeched spin from with less of a fight.
3 - I did enjoy Bender asking "Why am I full of sand? And tootsie rolls?".

I was appalled at TDK upon first seeing it but it grew on me a lot over subsequent viewings. But let's face it, many of the people watching this show ARE watching it with their seven cats.
I only have six cats, dammit. SIX!
