The Luck of the Fryrish

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.

I am a giant fan of the series I started watching the episodes from first to the end once I saw the show when I did this was a episode that was never on TV and I didn't own the 3rd season DVD. But when I FINALLY saw this I thought it was the best episode of the show and I honestly cried at the end.

The End is a giant Surprise of what happens (I won't tell if you haven't seen) and the ending is just beyond the best ending of any series or TV show I've seen it will leave you wanting more and more of this show.

I also though that the cast of Futurama is at their best in this episode, Why? Because of how good they can be funny and yet at a lot of times be good at sad scenes.

If someone was to ask you to describe Futurama in one word, you'd most likely say 'amusing' or 'hilarious' but not 'sad'. The true reality is that due to Fry's life and the circumstances he ended up in future, he left behind his family which inevitably leads to times where he cannot forget about his past hence causes emotional scenes. This episode is one of them. As we look back at Fry's childhood and his relationship with his brother, we realize how upsetting it must have been for Fry. The way this episode was produced was fantastic and I never thought it would but Futurama nearly brought a tear to my eye. The best Futurama episode for me, definitely worth a watch along with some tissues

...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!

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.
