Futurama... What can I say about this show that hasn't already been said? I mean this show is truly epic... in that it parodies every epic Science Fiction medium known to man!

Unfortunately, I have since discovered that this show has been cancelled yet again, but you know what? During the run of this show that Matt Groening (The Simpsons) created, we saw a lot of funny moments, and parodies of some other great Science Fiction mediums, (including Star Trek.)

And, 'A Fishful Of Dollars' (1999) is another hilarious episode in this classic series!

Written by: Patric M. Verrone (Pinky & The Brain) & Directed by: Ron Hughart (American Dad). Starring: Billy West (The Looney Tunes Show), Katey Sagal (8 Simple Rules), John DiMaggio (Adventure Time), Pamela Anderson (Baywatch), Phil LaMarr (Pulp Fiction) & Lauren Tom (Batman Beyond: Golem).

This hilarious episode tells the story of how Fry (Billy West), after heading over to the bank and checking up on his old bank account from the 20th century, ends up discovering that with all the interest after 1,000 years, that not only is he no longer mega poor... But he is mega rich!

This effects the Planet Express crew in different ways, but in the end all Fry really wanted was a place that reminded him of the century that he had been forced to forget... But after shunning all of his friends, a cruel manipulator behind the scene will help Fry get the one thing he truly missed from that area, and the friends that he loved from his current century back to enjoy it !

In the end, this episode is pretty awesome, and if you check it out, I think that you might find that you like it as well!
