I've not watched all the episodes, but I've got every one of them in Divx format thanks to Adult Swim and my Leadtek Winfast tuner. :)

The bee sting one is great IMO.


Yeah, it's a very touching episode. It's the first time I've ever felt something when watching a damn cartoon. I know i sound like a woman, but watch this episode before you start dissing me :p

I agree though, after watching this one I realized what a great show this was and with all the nonsense humor (in a good way) and what not it still had some great and very well written moments. I too felt "moved" by watching this episode which is something I've never felt before from watching a cartoon.

That was a very good episode, im suprised it didnt get nominated for any awards. Very good writing.

I forgot. Refresh my memory. I remember there were giant killer bee's, but didn't something happen to Leela, and she was in a Coma. But the episode was what she dreams about during the Coma. What did she dream about?!?!

The Sting
The professor isn't allowing his crew to go on a mission to collect honey from giant space bees, the thing that killed his last crew, on the grounds that thay aren't good enough. Leela wants to go anyway, and Fry and Bender come reluctantly. Bender is painted like a bee and has a bee language catridge, so they manage to get to the honey deposit. Leela finds a cute baby queen and decides to take it for honey. Bender mistakenly insults the Queen Bee, and they are chased out of the hive. They escape, but the baby queen wakes up and attacks them. Its stinger goes through Fry and scratches Leela, killing Fry. At his funeral, Leela feels extremely guilty about it, and later decides to take some space honey to ease the pain. It sends her to sleep, and she dreams of Fry telling her that there's a gift in his locker. She wakes up, and it turns out that there actually was. No-one believes her, and they think she's going crazy. Later, she has another dream, where Fry takes her on a romantic trip and gives her his jacket. She wakes up with it on, but it turns into her own when she gets to PE. The lines between her dreams and reality start to blur, and she becomes more and more insane, seeing the crew perform a bizarre musical number and finding Fry alive in his coffin. She decides that she is only happy in dreams, and she decides to take three spoonfuls of space honey. This will send her into a permanent coma. A portrait of Fry talks to her, telling her to wake up. In a hospital, Fry is by Leela's bedside telling her to wake up. She does, and they reunite emotionally. It turns out that Leela has been in a coma, as the bees sting went through Fry, only poisoning her. Fry had been by her bedside for two weeks.

There is one episode (don't know the name) where Bender finds religion... it's freaking hysterical... the robot preacher picks him up off the street, and "converts him"...

Beautiful. Especially the way the music fades out at the end, with the Globetrotters theme being whistled.

Anything with nibbler is good. Prepare cuddlebug for deployment! Scooty Puff Jr Sucks! Scooty Puff Sr 'The Doom Bringer'

I'm afraid Futurama was too geek friendly. No average person would get 'Euro TRaSh-80'

Why did they cancel Futurama and kept Simpsons going? Why damn it! WHY? There's no god.

My favorite eps:

Bend Her: "Hail, Hail, Robonia...a land I didn't make up!"

Put Your Head on My Shoulder: "One word: Thundercougarfalconbird"

A Pharoah to Remember: "REMEMBER MEEEEEE! BURRRRP (w/ fire)"



...actually, I love all the episodes equally.

Godfellas -- the one where Bender gets shot into space and then becomes god to a race of lilliputians.
