Futurama

I'll be interested to see how it stacks up to South Park's episodes.

If they make it into some sort of time travelling crossover episode I will probably lose my mind!

I'm imagining Fry refusing a vaccine for egg salad sandwich parasite infections et violà, Parasites Regained.

Oh, that's a good point. I love all the Mars-related episodes, especially with Amy's family and the native Martians. Hopefully How the West Was Won gives us some good new Martian content!

Listen, you! I was born here. I raised a cloud of children here. My ancestors came over here on the sandwich!

Maybe fry eats that burger with special sauce. 🤣 🤣

Their tadpoles are low key kinda adorable, ngl.

Same. The “topical” episodes are rarely great, and they’re often among my least favorite. Who looks forward to Decision 3012, Proposition Infinity, or Attack of the Killer App coming up in their playlist? I generally skip those. There are some good ones, like A Clockwork Origin, but they seem to be the exception. Those episodes also tend not to age well (Attack of the Killer App being the worst offender here in my opinion), and, as you said, several of these themes have been old news for several years now. I’m definitely looking forward to the second half of the season more than the first.
