The Luck of the Fryrish

May be number 1 but its hard to say when there are so many episodes, funnier, and an overall better story than Jurassic Bark. For me stuff like Game Of Tones, Leela's Home World, Jurassic Bark, and Lethal Inspection are more emotional, but its unbelievable how funny yet sad this episode is, 10/10 easy.

Without question, this episode is the best Futurama episode to date. And this is after watching every season multiple times. I would challenge any viewer to dispute the excellence of this episode.

The emotional ties to Fry's past and family, and the surprise ending make this some of the best, and most insightful, writings in a TV series.

Writing like this makes me wonder why anyone would ever cancel Futurama. Literary techniques and blatant references to certain films show the true quality of Matt Groening. I am so pleased they brought the show back. Keep up the excellent writing Matt, we all look forward to the continuance of the show!

This is definitely the first (of many) amazing episodes of the series. It not only builds our main characters history but adds a lot of heart and surprisingly sweet moments.

Years after I originally watched this show, I've come back to rewatch only to find it's held up pretty well. Episodes like the luck of the Fryrish as well as other episodes like Leela's homeworld are filled with so much heart I could rewatch over and over again. These episodes are what set Futurama apart from other animated adult shows.

...the show ended and I realised exactly why this episode maxed out the lovometer.

I cannot possibly know when you watched this episode, but if you are here to leave a comment, then it's likely because like many, you found this to be the most remarkably (completely unexpectedly) heartwarming feel-good episode of TV you've seen in the last 12 months!
