Any Futurama fans out there?
I got into it late via reruns on Adult Swim on the Comedy Channel.

Last night's episode actually moved me.

Turns out it was nominated for an Emmy. I'm a sucker for sad dog stories.


"For a thousand summers, I will wait for you..."

5. Yeah, that one really tugs the 'ol heartstrings. I usually skip it when it rotates up.
Cuz I'm too macho to be seen crying over some cartoon dog, donchaknow!

My all-time fave is probably the "Anthology of Interest"
episode with Gary Gygax, Nichelle Nichols, Al Gore and Steven
Hawking...all playing themselves.

Nichelle N: Hey, there's that weird hole again!

Dr. Hawking: I-call-it-a-"Hawking-Hole".

Fry: No fair! I saw it first!

Hawking: Sure. And-who-is-the-Journal-of-Astrophysics-going-to-believe?

:rofl:

7. Yeah, just a little (see photo):


And the episode with Fry's dog Seymour is called "Jurassic Bark," and I do NOT recommend watching it after you've just come back from a funeral (I did that last week - bad move).

I don't normally cry at things like this, but the end of that episode gets me every time.

9. Here!
It's hilarious, but there are a couple that are very emotional. My favorite of those is "Luck of the Fryrish".

10. I've gotten into this the exact same way.
Just recently via Adult Swim. Friggin hilarious. Can't believe it's taken me this long!
