Futurama is an old show AND a new show. It counts. (lemmy.world)

We've been revisiting Futurama in the lead up to its Hulu return and I have to say the show is still one of the best of all time. The jokes still hit and the characters may even be MORE lovable than I remember. What are some of your favorite moments? (from the old show of course)

I firmly believe the use of Bistro is a reference to HGTTG. One of the later books describes the Bistro Drive (based on the complex mathematics used to calculate the bill) which is faster than even the Infinite Improbability Drive.

I was actually just telling someone about that on Thursday, I didn't even think to make that connection! The robots at the table splitting the bill as the core of the drive is so funny. Douglas Adams is a beauty.
