'That's Lobstertainment!' for me, because I think it's the worst on the list; thus less of it's potential was actaully used, which means it had the most unused potential, so it had plenty more potentail it could've used...

Guess what I voted for. But in all honesty it shouldn't be there in the first place. It's a good episode damnit!

Cryonic Woman. Everything before Michelle and not including Pauly Shore was gold.

I really consider ALOHO a good episode...yeah, the storyline could be better, but the characters are good, the animation is GREAT, and Katey Sagal's acting in the episode is some of her best.
Leela:You mean...I'll be the first woman ever to play major league blearnsball? Guy: Yeah, but you're mostly there as a freak attraction. Leela: I can't believe I'm the first woman ever to play major league blearnsball! Guy: But like I said... Leela: Yippee!

Originally posted by Syevedude530: I voted for Lobstertainment because (I know this applies to "Robot" but I liked that one) they wasted such a talented guest star in multiple Emmy-winner Hank Azaria. I voted for lobstertainment, because they used Azaria, they didn't waste him, he made that voice, and wanted to be in a decapodian episode, so he was one reason it was a flop. If Zoid had been done by the person they thought was better,(mentioned in the comm.) it might have been funnier... also, It should have used more Zoidberg/zoid moments together...

"The Cryonic Woman", obviously. The first act was great, with the first 2 or 3 minutes being absolutely hilarious. I think that it all fell apart after Pauly Shore was introduced (and the idea that he ultimately plays a big role in the story), and Michelle coming back was pretty unfunny (of course, it wouldn't be called "The Cryonic Woman" without her). In fact, the only real comedy comes from the three main players: Fry, Leela, and Bender. And, of course, the ending of the episode (well, the whole third act, really) was atrocious. It's kind of sad when you think about it, because the writers could have gone in an entirely different direction (not sure exactly how, but if you cut out Michelle and Pauly Shore with some kind of amusing filler, or something called "plot", you have an okay episode).
Regarding the other choices: for the record, I actually liked "That's Lobstertainment!" (it's not great, but at least amusing), "A Leela of Her Own" (way underrated), and "A Pharoah to Remember" (again, underrated). They aren't the best of the series, or even season 3, but they are funny and much better than "The Cryonic Woman".

Originally posted by Beamer: The Cryonic Woman... the first act was hilarious, and even the second act had enough funny moments to make it a good episode... but the third act... I agree. Also, as others said, it could have been one of the episodes where Fry realizes what he left behind in 2000. Instead we get Pauly Shore and a Jewish gang of 10-year-olds? I pretty much lost it after Michelle came into the plot.

I think the writers of "Pharaoh" were having too much fun making Bender ridiculously cruel to keep the story focused on the main idea. Osiris 4 did present a very cool setting, and it would have been a shame to have avoided such a cheap shot at Star Trek. That being said, maybe it would have been better to split up the episode into "Bender Wants to Be Remembered" and "Bender is a Ridiculously Cruel Tyrant." I'd say the potential was pretty high for, at least, the cruel tyrant episode.
As for "Cryonic," I liked the idea that Fry thought he was in the year 4000, but the vehicle to get him there was horrible. Once again, it seemed like there were two different episodes compressed uncomfortably into one like a eight-seat limousine holding a ten-member bridal party. Maybe if (as it has been already theorized) there had just been an episode where Michelle reminds Fry of the year 2000 and an episode where Fry thinks he's found himself in a post-futuristic future (neither of which containing Pauly Shore) they might have never been ranked so low. I'm not entirely sure how much relevant plot material there would be for either of these new storylines, but I'm sure the missing parts could be filled in with humorous sub-plots.
Maybe I'll have more on the other two later. Of all the episodes I've seen on my DVDs, "ALOHO" is the only one I've seen only once.

ya know, I always liked "Cryonic Woman" I dont think it was GREAT, but just another i enjoyed nonetheless. But i gotta vote for A Pharoah to Remember. Bender as supreme overlord of a planet had so much potential...

I think A Pharaoh to Remember is the best episode out of the 4 because, well really i love all Futurama episodes but bender and fry r probably my favourite characters and this particular episode had a lot of bender in it and fry has a lot of dumb things to say and i always think its funny so that's why i like this episode out of the 4 here but i still love the other ones too
