The Luck of the Fryrish

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.

Sound 10/10 Animation 8/10 Humor:10/10 Drama:10/10 Over all:10/10

This episode was pure genius. Not only did make me cry, which is something very hard an animated series can do, but it showed some insight to the characters of our beloved Futurama. Clever writing and great plot twists helped achieve a great episode. Quite possibly the greatest episode, just ahead of "Jurassic Bark." Upon watching this episode, people will realize what genius Futurama really is, and the sad fact that it was canceled brings even more morose. But anyway, do yourself a favor and watch this episode, it is the best. Kudos to Mr. Groening and Mr. Cohen for creating this incredible series which such moving and touching episodes.

Bring a box of tissues while your at it.

...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.

There are some Futurama episodes which are not so good, but this one is really outstandingly well done. Much was said in other comments, I cannot really add new things.

One can see quite some references to the 80's, apparently Mr. Groening or Mr. Cohen tried to place good memories there. Have to say I am also a child of the 80's.

The appearance of the song "Don't You (Forget About Me)" by Simple Minds is really well placed, too. (I hope the sole mentioning of it is not a spoiler, since it's mentioned already on its IMDb page. Didn't say where it is played though!)
