Five Great TV #Shows To Watch This #Weekend - #TV #Blog
Futurama: Episode 10: 'A Flight To Remember' (1999) - TV Episode Review
 |
| These star crossed lovers are just like Jack & Rose from when the Titantic was still a sailing ship... Just over 1,000 years in the future! |
And what a season opener! So with out further adieu: Season 2 - Episode 1: 'A Flight To Remmeber' (1999)!
 |
| Maybe with the Planet Express crew... This, 'Titanic' will work out better then it's predecessor! |
"Wait, my cheating unit malfunctioned. You gotta' give me a do-over." - Bender (A quote from Futurama episode: A Flight To Remember.)Now this episode tells the story of how the Planet Express crew decides to take a vacation on one of the most luxurious (and supposedly safest,) luxury space liners money can by... That is also on it's maiden voyage... Sound familiar?
 |
| Love may also be in the air on this, 'Titanic', but there is something else that has carried over as well... |
In the end, this episode is a pretty hilarious spoof of the movie... I am not going to say it is the best of episodes... It is funny, but it also has some drama in it that I really just didn't care to much about one way or the other... But check it out... It is well worth the time!

Futurama: Season 1 - Episode 9: 'Hell Is Other Robots' (1999) - TVEpisode Review
 |
| Official Score = 3 Devils |
Now in the first season though, Bender, it seems, had the most growing up to do... I mean in the first couple of episodes of the series, his character... Although mostly there, did not seem to be particularly developed, but as the season went on, you could tell the progression, and when he got his first episode devoted to him... I must say, absolutely hilarious!
That episode of course being: 'Hell Is For Other Robots'!
 |
| The Beastie Boys singing to Bender in Robot Hell! |
This hilarious episode tells the story of how after Bender gets addicted to Electricity, he weens himself off of it and finds robot religion... And like all great conversions, Bender goes for it with gusto and ends up being a good little robot for awhile... A little while anyway...
That is of course until his so-called friends who have gotten board of him, decide that they want the old Bender back, and thus tempt him to the darkside...
 |
| Joining this religion will have funny consequences for not just Bender, but the rest of the Planet Express crew! |
In the end, the only thing that I didn't like about this episode was the song near the end of it... I mean I know that last part of the episode is tied in to it... but still...
Other then that guys, it is a fun episode, and certainly one worth watching!
Futurama: Season 1 - Episode 8: 'A Big Piece Of Garbage' (1999) - TV Episode Review
 |
| Official Score = 2 Devils |
And I hate to say it, but, Season 1 - Episode 8: 'A Big Piece Of Garbage' is just one of those episodes!
Written by: Lewis Morton (Newsradio) & Directed by: Susie Dietter (Open Season) & Gregg Vanzo (RoboCop 3). Starring: Billy West (Space Jam 2), Katey Sagal (Sons Of Anarchy), John DiMaggio (Adventure Time), Ron Popeil (As Seen On TV), Lauren Tom (Bad Santa), Phil LaMarr (Samurai Jack) & Tress MacNeille (The Simpsons).
Now listen, I know this story is primarily meant to entertain children, but it was also designed for adult to... And I will go so far as to say that I suspect that this episode was intended to parody Armageddon (1998)... The main problem is, is this episode just didn't have the same comedic appeal that a lot of the other ones had!
"Now, now. There'll be plenty of time to discuss your objections when and if you return." - Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth (Quote from: Futurama Season 1 - Episode 8: 'A Big Piece Of Garbage'.)You see this episode tells the story of how after almost a thousand years a ball of barely post 20th century garbage that had been slingshot in to outerspace is heading back to Earth and threatens life as we know it... And of course, the only one's that can fix this is the Planet Express crew...
Professor Farnsworth showing the trajectory of the massive stinky meteor!
Maybe not the best episode, but if you are going through the series one right after the other... It is worth checking out!
Futurama: Season 1 - Episode 7: My Three Suns (1999) - TV EpisodeReview
 |
| Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils |
And well so far I think that Season 1 is a pretty good season, I mean we got to see the characters establish themselves, and also to see them getting in to more then a few hilarious problems! And you know what? I am gonna have to say that the latest episodes, 'My Three Suns' (1999) maybe one of the more funnier episodes of the season!
Written by: J. Stewart Burns (The Simpsons) & Directed by: Jeffrey Lynch (The Gift), Kevin O'Brien (WALL-E), Gregg Vanzo (RoboCop 3). Starring: Billy West (The 7D), Katey Sagal (Married With Children), John DiMaggio (Adventures In Time), David Herman (Office Space), Phil LaMarr (Pulp Fiction), Maurice LaMarche (Frozen), Lauren Tom (Bad Santa) & Danny Jacobs (Batman: Arkham Asylum).

| The latest adventure of the intrepid, 'Planet Express crew'... Fry drinks the recipient of their latest package delivery... |
What I mean by this is that the Planet Express crew end up making a delivery to a planet that is all desert, and well they end up landing the ship about as far away as you can from the actual city, so when Fry gets to the Palace, he decides to take a drink from what at first looks like a cold bottle of water!
Well little does he know that it is actually the, 'King' of a race of fluid based sentient life forms... And well everything seems to be going alright... That is until they find out how the line of succession in this kingdom works!
 |
| Fry, when he discovers the great hall where all the former world leaders pictures were hung! |
In the end, this episode is just hilarious, and it shows that the show is really coming in to itself... So if you have a chance to check it out, do so, it is more then well worth it... Trust me!
Futurama: Season 1 - Episode 6: 'A Fishful Of Dollars' (1999) - TV Episode Review
[caption id="attachment_325" align="alignright" width="263"]
Official Score = 3 Devils[/caption]
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!
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="360"]
The Planet Express crew as they are celebrating Fry's new fortune![/caption]
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!

Futurama: Season 1 - Episode 5. 'Fear Of A Bot Planet' (1999) - TV Episode Review
[caption id="attachment_557" align="alignright" width="307"]
Official Score = 3 1/2 Devils[/caption]
When Matt Groening created the Simpsons, he created something truly magical and memorable, (I mean if you consider the fact that, 'The Simpsons' to this date is the longest running cartoon of all time... That really is saying something...)
And the truth is, is even when he created his next show, 'Futurama', I have to admit that I was sad to see that show go when it did, it was absolutely hilarious in just about every facet, and when I found out that it came back on the air, I have to admit that I was pretty excited... I mean this show has continued to make audiences all over the world laugh for years... And this why I am glad to review my favorite episode of this series, Episode 5 of season 1'Fear Of A Bot Planet'!
Written by: Evan Gore (George Of The Jungle) & Directed by: Peter Avanzino (Drawn Together), Carlos Baeza (Ghostbusters), Ashley Lenz (The Simpsons Movie), Chris Sauve (The Iron Giant), Gregg Vanzo (RoboCop 3). Starring: Billy West (Ultimate Spider-Man), Katey Sagal (Sons Of Anarchy), John DiMaggio (Epic), Tress MacNeille (Animaniacs) & Phil LaMarr (Justice League).
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="640"]
Leela & Fry as they are looking for Bender on the Bot Planet...[/caption]
This is the hilarious story of when Bender (John DiMaggio) is feeling depressed about his work, and during this time, one of the places that the Planet Express crew end up being sent to is a world in which Robots would rather kill a human as opposed to live with them (thus the planet is exclusively inhabited by Robots.)
Well because of this fact, Bender is the one who will have to make the delivery, and like he does, Bender sees an opportunity to exploit the entire planet's population... but before doing so, he sends a distress call to the Ship, which prompts Leela (Katey Sagal) & Fry (Billy West) to make these ridiculous disguises and go down to the planet...
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="630"]
Bender, after he finds Fry & Leela...[/caption]
But with the planet full of Robots that would happily kill them (as a matter of fact, the leadership of the planet made, 'Human Hunting' a planetary bonding experience...) Leela & Fry are going to have to rely on Bender to rescue them before the Robots have the opportunity to destroy them!
I don't want to say to much, but this episode is really hilarious, and although I am aware that I an not saying why... I love this episode, and if you give it a try, then I think you might end up finding out why!

Futurama Season 1 - Episode 4: 'Love's Labour Lost In Space (1999) - TV Episode Review
[caption id="attachment_322" align="alignright" width="258"]
Official Score = 1 1/2 Devils[/caption]
Ok, so one of the things that you have to know about Leela, is that because she is a mutant... (Or well at this point she is still an, 'Alien') that the show generally tends to play up her differences as one of the main reasons that she never seems to be able to find some one who is good enough for her... There are other reasons as well, but this one seems to be pretty well documented...
With that said though, the first time that this particular part of her role is heavily introduced is in an episode that I have to admit that I found particularly bland, the 4th episode of season 1, 'Love's Labour Lost In Space'...
Written by: Brian Kelley (Joey), Directed by: Brian Sheesley (Camp Lazlo) & Gregg Vanzo (RoboCop 3). Starring: Billy West (Animaniacs), Katey Segal (8 Simple Rules), John DiMaggio (Princess Monoke), Phil LaMarr (Pulp Fiction), Lauren Tom (The Newsroom) & Maurice LaMarche (Alvin & The Chipmunks Meet The Wolfman).
You see this episode tells the story of how Leela (Katey Segal) whom at this time is feeling particularly lonely is about to be sent (along with the rest of the, 'Planet Express' crew) to a planet called, 'Vergon 6', a planet that has been essentially mined out entirely, and is dying... Their tax-deductible charity mission is to go and rescue a male and a female of every living creature still on that planet...
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="300"]
Zapp Brannigan (Billy West), when he first meets, 'Turanga Leela' on board his ship.[/caption]
As they get there though, Zapp Brannigan (Billy West) throws them all in to the brig for violating a security cordon... The only way that they will be able to get out is when Leela ends up sleeping with the idiot...
After this, they quickly head to the dying planet to rescue as many animals as they can... After they do so though, Leela will find the ultimate companion for which to call her own!
In the end, this episode had a few funny moments... But not many... The sad truth is that in a show that is supposed to be funny, this episode really wasn't all that funny, honestly I would say that the best thing about this episode is that they introduce Leela's pet, 'Nibbler' in to the show... And for that, I hate to say it, but this episode is worth a watch... At the very least to keep up with the story...

Futurama Season: 1 - Episode 3: 'I, Roomate' (Air Date: April 6th, 1999) - TV Episode Review
[caption id="attachment_325" align="alignright" width="263"] Official Score = 3 Devils[/caption]
You know one of the things that I thought made for kind of an awesome theme through out the, Futurama, series is the fact that no matter what changed in the 31st century, that somethings from the 20th century just happened to stay the same...
A couple of examples of this is that in the 20th century there was a corner bar that was named a human name, but in the 31st century it was still the same basic corner bar that was sort of disgusting but still drew in a huge crowd, but the difference between the 20th century bar, and the 31st century bar is that it is named an Alien name...
In the 20th and 21st century you might take your pet cat to a competition to be judged, in the 31st century your cat might take you to a competition to be judged... And in I, Roomate, these interesting yet bizarre themes are continued!
What I mean by this is that at the beginning of the episode Fry is living at the Planet Express office, and is generally making a mess of the place, as well as raising their bills etc... All of this is becoming so much of a problem that at the beginning of the episode, it turns out that Fry is still fast asleep on the conference table when the rest of the, 'Planet Express' crew is actually having their morning meeting!
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="360"]
Fry waking up after a hard night of snooping through peoples desks![/caption]
Anyway, everyone but the Professor has finally had enough with his excesses and decides to kick him out while he is watching TV, but when they get in there Bender sees that Fry is watching a Day time TV show, 'All My Circuits', (I suspect that this is a play on the long running day time TV program, 'All My Children') and ends up dragging the couch with both Fry and Bender on it...
After this Fry and Bender end up moving in together and living at Bender's apartment... (An apartment that is literally the size of a coat closet!)
So after some serious problems begin to occur for Fry, Leela decides to help them find a place... The problem is, is that when the ultimate place starts to put strain on Fry and Bender's friendship... They will end up coming up with a hilarious solution that will make them both happy!
I actually hadn't seen this episode for awhile, and I have to admit that this episode maybe in my top 10 most funniest episodes of this series!

Futurama Season: 1 - Episode 2: 'The Series Has Landed' - TV Episode Review
[caption id="attachment_325" align="alignright" width="263"] Official Score = 3 Devils[/caption]
I would say that the pilot for this series was pretty funny, but in all truth, more so then being funny, the pilot episode kind of began to introduce the characters and the bizarre nature of the world that Philip J. Fry (Billy West) has gotten himself stuck in!
Episode 2 (The series has landed) I personally think is when this series really started to get funny, with its parodying of, 'Disneyland' and, 'Disney World' and how they are known as, 'The Happiest Places On Earth'... Or in the case of, 'Luna Park' as, 'The Happiest Place Orbiting Earth'!
In this episode everyone is starting to get comfortable in their roles in, 'Planet Express'... And their first out of this world delivery is about to occur with a package of stuffed animals that they are to deliver for the crane device game!
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="405"]
Bender as he is introducing himself to the mascot from the, 'Happiest Place Orbiting Earth'![/caption]
And of course Fry is just ecstatic about this (being that he is from the 20th century he can only imagine about how truly awesome it would be to go to the moon...)
Well in the 31st century, the moon, short of being a place for country folk to live simple lives on their farms is also the location of, 'Luna Park'...
So when the newly promoted Captain Leela (Katey Sagal) takes them up to the moon, little does she know that her first day on the job (the one day she doesn't want anything to go wrong), that with this kooky and crazy group that in the end they would all go on the adventure of a life time! Including Bender being chased down by a crazy human farmer for trying to get with one of his three, 'beautiful' robot daughters!
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="550"]
The crew of the Planet Express, as they are making a delivery to the, 'Happiest Place On Earth'![/caption]
Or the fact that Amy looses the ships keys... Or heck learning about Bender and his penchant for singing folk songs when a magnet is put on or near his head!
Another thing that I thought that I would mention here is that if you have been watching this series for awhile, then pay close attention to the Professor and Bender in these early episodes and then try and watch one of the later episodes... I think you will find a few things of interest between season 1 Bender and The Professor, vs. later seasons Bender and The Professor!
In the end though, this episode really gets things started off real nicely, and if you give it a try, I think you might find the same thing as well!

Futurama Episode: 'Space Pilot 3000' (1999) - TV Episode Review
[caption id="attachment_330" align="alignright" width="220"]
Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils[/caption]
If you liked the show, The Simpsons, then I think you might like this, conceived in the mid 90s by Simpsons creator, 'Matt Groening', and released in 1999, Futurama is an awesome TV series that tells the story of a delivery boy by the name of, 'Philip J. Fry' (Billy West) who ends up being cryogenically frozen and sent to the year 3000, where his entire world is flipped upside down living in the future, but finds some sense of normalcy, working for his descendant on his brother's side, and living and working with his best friend (who is a robot), as well as working with a Bureaucrat Rastafarian, an Asian Martian, a Mutant, a Decapodian, who all end up being his friend!
Well, Space Pilot 3000, tells the story of how all of this came to be, what I mean by that is the fact that this hilarious story tells the story of how while delivering a Pizza on New Years Eve on 1999 to a cryogenics lab that was a prank call, ends up being frozen and then forgotten about for 1,000 years... When he gets to the future, he is excited to find that he no longer has to deal with his ultimately crummy life that he had before he was frozen...
[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="600"]
Fry as he realizes... 'He ain't in Kansas no more!'[/caption]
But when Leela (Katey Sagal), tries to give him his career chip Fry escapes and gets involved with a suicidal bending robot by the name of Bender Bednding Rodriguez (John DI Maggio), and the two of them get in to some hilarious hijinks while they try to escape from Leela... But ultimately this episode is how the crew of the Planet Express comes together!
Now the truth is, is this episode is not as funny as the future episodes are, but it is still a very funny episode, and was put together real nicely, but the best part of this whole episode, is that it demonstrated what was to come, and it is something that you definitely would look forward to!
So if you are looking for a hilarious good time, and a fun series to get started in, then why not this out? you might find that you like it... I Know I did!

Official Score = 2 1/2 Devils[/caption]If you liked the show, The Simpsons, then I think you might like this, conceived in the mid 90s by Simpsons creator, 'Matt Groening', and released in 1999, Futurama is an awesome TV series that tells the story of a delivery boy by the name of, 'Philip J. Fry' (Billy West) who ends up being cryogenically frozen and sent to the year 3000, where his entire world is flipped upside down living in the future, but finds some sense of normalcy, working for his descendant on his brother's side, and living and working with his best friend (who is a robot), as well as working with a Bureaucrat Rastafarian, an Asian Martian, a Mutant, a Decapodian, who all end up being his friend!
Well, Space Pilot 3000, tells the story of how all of this came to be, what I mean by that is the fact that this hilarious story tells the story of how while delivering a Pizza on New Years Eve on 1999 to a cryogenics lab that was a prank call, ends up being frozen and then forgotten about for 1,000 years... When he gets to the future, he is excited to find that he no longer has to deal with his ultimately crummy life that he had before he was frozen...
