It's insane that Fox didn't understand how brilliant Futurama truly was

I literally cried when the dog sat there and waited for him to return, really pulled on my heart strings.š¢

I can't believe Groening and Cohen would commit the heinous act of setting episodes of a sci-fi show on other planets.

You deserve a medal for all of the editing that this video required.
48 |
I really appreciate your careful curation of background clips to go along with your script. Some other channels about TV/Movies just play the trailer on loop, but yours is like a new Easter Egg every 5 seconds!

I think that what really built the Futurama following was its Adult Swim run. Like, the crazy timeslot and release order just stopped it in its tracks but it aired consistently on Adult Swim and people like me ate it up every time it was on.

The clips used were soooo impressively selected, basically every clip thematically matched what you were saying during the intro (I laughed when you said "for the time" and showed Grandpa talking about the onion on his belt, which was the style at the time).

Imagine being given that second chance to capture lightning in a bottle and doing everything in your power to cripple it. Fascinating that even after all that, Futurama still soldiered on to craft a timeless legacy. What a show.

18:55 THAT!!! THAT EPISODE RIGHT THERE!!! First time I ever cried to any tv show. I was like 9 and laying in bed with my dog who was my best friend in a not so good house. We were the. Lack sheep in our house and got all of the rage and anger released on us. This episode came on as I was trying to go to sleep for school. It all hit me that scene seeing Seymour grow old still waiting for fry. I can still feel that strong being pulled thinking about it. RIP my doggo. She made it to 18 and in a happier life

I watched futurama in english before i knew english, i rewatched it a thousand times, they helped me learn it, they always teach you something and i'm thankful for everything they done, there is no bad futurama episodes there is only less good ones.
50 |
Just those few clips from luck of the fryish and jurassic bark triggered me. Those are some of the hardest hitting episodes in western animation for me.
65 |
One other thing worth bringing up about Phil Hartmanās involvement with the series: Fry himself was actually named after Mr. Hartman as a tribute to him after his tragic passing.
176 |
I consider Futurama one of the greatest animation series of all times and the team behind did a great job. It has inspired me since I was a kid and now in my 20s I have a cartoon animation idea I love and I hope one day it will be out there for everyone to see.

The best episode was the devils hands are idle playthings where fry sells his soul to get the ability to write a romantic ballad for leela, and does it anyway after he loses that ability. So amazing
53 |
Although a fictional character, Philip J. Fry is one of my most inspirational influences. His tenacity for life and finding joy everywhere, while fighting for his one true love is truly admirable. Thank you for this show, even if it was a Sh*t Show.

Billy West did an amazing job but Phil Hartman as Brannigan would have been amazing.
186 |
It's crazy that the Fry Yancy episode and ending to the devil's hands are idle playthings, still crack me up even with no build up. Honestly and easily my favourite TV show of all time

Me and my brother would watch the Simpsons and then our favorite show, Futurama, every sunday..god i miss him r.i.p bro

This may be the first video essay Iāve seen in which āGroeningā is pronounced correctly.
