A Bullfighter episode would've been cool.
Fry switching places with a look-a-like prince a'la Mark Twain's The Prince and the Pauper.
Bender becomes a cop.
They go to a planet that's like an island full of headhunters.
First of all... I'm not looking for lists of fanfiction.
Second of all... None of these wanted episodes seem really important to the series to me, and some have already been done. I think a Bullfighter one would be pretty bad myself, as I don't see that as something people in the Future would do. Also, that type of story has been done in "A Leela of her Own". The Prince and The Pauper story was done already in "The Prisoner of Benda", The Cop story was "Law and Oracle", and the Headhunter story would end up like "Murder on the Planet Express". I wish they would've done more Anthology of Interest episodes instead of the Three Parter ones. The Anthologies allowed for much more interesting stories, along with alot more comedy. Other than Reincarnation, none of the Three Parters appealed to me that much, as they weren't very creative or funny.

Bender becomes a cop.
Yeah, sure. Bender would make a great cop.
Bender becomes a cop.
Yeah, sure. Bender would make a great cop.
Yes, considering he has gone to Robot Hell, knows more than one Convict, has broken multiple laws, wreaked havoc on the city with Robot Santa, Tore a hole in the universe, and even almost destroyed earth by making infinite clones of himself.
Seems like a fine, law-abiding robot.
- Chief Wiggum from Simpsons - Tackleberry and Zed from Police Academy - Sledge Hammer Yep, Bender would fit into that line. He does not have to be a "good, lawful cop". He just needs to be an entertaining one. (After all, the whole police academy series was based on people who are the worst cop material, yet somehow pull through). Also, about repeating Fry's career choice. Fry and Bender both became musicians in an episode. Yet, obviously, TDHAIP and 40PLB were completely different episodes, with different themes and tones. There are thousand of detective stories, and lots of takes on said subject. I am pretty sure Futurama could stand two of them, without being repetitive

I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure this belongs in the Fanfic section.

Yeah, but making fun of celebrities is one of South Park's main hallmarks. Futurama doesn't really do stuff like that.

B Movie parodies would've been good. Such as Bride of The Monster, The Slime People, and those Gamera flicks. The Beast with a Billion Backs. Not to mention that they did do countless nods to crappy old films. The Professor's rambling speech about atomic supermen is straight out of Bride of the Monster. Also, Honey Boo Boo should've been made fun of on Futurama (after all, South Park did). No. Not they shouldn't've. Watch South Park episodes from about 3 years ago, now, and they're already horrendously outdated. Honey Boo Boo is exactly the sort of flavour of the month shit that doesn't deserve recognition by a show of this standard. Plus, like you said, South Park did it. Why do you want all of your favourite shows to do the exact same thing until they morph together into one big, grey, unanimous blob?

A perfect episode would be one where EVERYONE becomes a cop!
Also, I find it interesting that, for all his protectiveness of Leela, Kurt thinks that a perfect episode wouldn't even have her appear at all.
Ah, but who would be in charge?

So you're saying the Cops would control themselves? Wouldn't that just end up in them giving each other endless freedom, as they wouldn't want to turn a fellow officer in? Futurama is show about the Future. That'd be waaay too much like present-day. Shame, Shame...

It's not that the ideas were nesessarily bad, Kurt, but they're just not meant for this thread, you know? You're definitely very creative, as those ideas display, so it's no wonder you were nominated for most creative PEELer.
Well..Kurt made that suggestion only ONCE*. The "Let XY become a cop" being repeated endlessly is the real thing dragging the thread down. *Also, Futurama has had repeating careers so far, see martial arts (RB, TBE), musicians (TDHAIP, 40LB), Fry being the chosen one due to his brain (TDESS, TWOF, IWGY), etc.. . So, some argument why a repetition based on a law enforcment job is -unlike the examples above- is out of question would have been appropriate. Also, "Inhuman Torch" dealt de facto with an escaped criminal. PE became NNYs fire department, but I am quite certain a similar story could have been made with PE having to replace the NNYP.

Include every great aspect in the show but shorten it into 20 minutes?

I'm outta here.
Wait...forever?
I think so. He hasn't made a single post on here since that one.
I think so too. Well, at least for a while. He's said that before, and has always ended up coming back. But if he really is leaving, he's making a big deal out of something so little. All people did was tell him that some of his ideas weren't that good.

Also, at least now he won't be making three to five threads per week about something that could easily fit into an already existing thread (i.e. "Meanwhile destined to be the best episode ever?").

Watch him come back, read these posts, start a thread in General Discussion about how everyone is mean to him, leave again, come back a few months later, and see that the cycle has repeated.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised at all if that does happen. Oh, and Kurt, if you're reading this: Don't take offense from any of these posts. Just look at them as a guide of what not to do on here.
