Yeah that's what I think, I think Matt Groening is a big fan of the Beatles. He had George Harrison, and Paul McCartney to guest star on Simpsons. I don't know maybe I'm just stoned or something. Goo goo ga joob!

Don't forget Ringo was on a Simpsons episode as well.

He was meant to be part of a caste system in the future, a slave or something, never wrote a story about it I am affraid.
Check out the Season1 Commentary for "A Flight to Remember"

Beck, re your email: the caste system is discussed in the audio commentary to "A Flight To Remember", right after Zapp christened the ship using Leonardo DiCrapios head.

The original idea for Futurama was that everyone would be ranked by number and have to wear the same neutral clothes. Since this didn't work out the #9 man just shows up in the background now and again.

Yeah... Like Grim said - check out that commentary. He comes up in the background a lot - he's one of those non speaking characters that the layout artist use to flesh out close-up crowds in the background. If you'll notice in AOI1 at the end of section one they do it using Mayor Poopenmeyer, Terry, Ipgee and Lou, among others. That seems to be his main function after the caste system was dropped. He's all over the place.

Have we seen him after the 2ACV episodes ended? I can't remember any scenes with him off the top of my head.

I'm not sure - it would make sense for him to still be around, but I don't have the Season 3 DVDs yet, so I dunno. Gods, its been ages since I saw any post-2ACV episodes!

Right you all want the deal with the number nine guy. Well this is a basic interpretation of the commentary for A Flight To Remember. The number nine guy was a zombie. They were originally meant to do something in one of the episodes but they never got round to it. The number on their shirt indicates their rank. Check out the commentary for further information on the Number Nine guy.

I have faaar too much time on my hands! (study leave, you see!) I'm transcribing them, but it'll be a while before any emerge, cos I'm typing them verbatim off the episodes, rather than copying the subtitles. Mostly cos most of what Rich Moore (yes again) doesn't come up in the subtitles.
I'll let you know.
