The Luck of the Fryrish

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!

Compare to "Jurassic Bark", this one is a lot better. The jokes are a lot funnier than Jurassic Bark. Jurassic Bark is a too serious episode for my liking. This episode is funny, entertaining, and has a emotional moment. I don't hate the other. In my opinion, Jurassic Bark 2nd, The Luck Of The Fryrish 1st.

...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!

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.

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.
