Top 11: Familiar Faces We Want to See in the Futurama
I don't agree with the countdown, but it is pretty fun to watch (plus, the drawing of the Nostalgia Critic, Linkara, Angry Joe and the Nostalgia Chick as heads in jars is pretty cool). The Familiar Faces series on That Guy With the Glasses is starting to grow on me. The pacing isn't great, but I've got to admit that I have a fondness for minor characters.

Evidently Gusto is too rich to enjoy a free turkey dog.
BAD episode? I thought that episode was really funny.
Whale Biologist was definitely the best part of it though, I agree. But I don't necessarily want that character to come back. Most of the characters in that list I think work because they were one shot deals.
Glab? Really? Talk about latching on to obscurity.
I just read somewhere that no Canadian broadcaster is actually airing it. So, if anyone asks, I HAVEN'T seen it.
eh-heh. eh-heh.

I think that was a lazy addition to the list (along with the big brains). Of course Glab will be back, so long as doop still exists.
But I disagree with reaching into obscurity. "I'm going to allow this" is a favourite catchphrase among me and my Futurama loving friends.
Found both episodes to be hilarious. So glad this show is back.

Great to see that the show is getting good numbers, hopefully this will mean that we will get more then just the 26 episodes ordered so far
I plan to continue watching. I'm a little interested in how the dynamic between Fry & Leela will affect everything. The tension between them was a big plot point and now that has changed. But character growth is a good thing and I trust the writers to keep things going. 
Also, I personally want to see a return of Al Gore. He's always been a good source of funny when he guests.

so I finally caught up and I have to say the last one was really good, it was just Fry at his best

This week's episode wasn't as good. The killbot running gag was funny, but the sappy ending just felt forced.
Also, on the rerun of a previous episode, I had to make this:

I've enjoyed the season so far, though I feel tonight's episode was definitely the worst of the new season. Best for me was still the Garden of Eden episode. The scene were Zap explains his whole scheme at the end was just so good.

I actually liked this episode better than the Duh-Vinci code episode. So far this new season is turning out great though only time will tell if these episodes have the same repeat value that the original ones have.
Tonight's episode was moments of absolute brilliance: Humanity enslaved by the giraffes, the series of statues of liberty, Old Leela blasting the message and shooting Hitler broken up by moments of obscene idiocy: The deus ex machina of time restarting mostly.
The episode definately had some laughs the Hitler one was especially well done but overall Comedy central plays a repeat I'll switch the channel to something else.

This season is making me laugh so hard, I got grape juice on my Number 9 shirt.
Except the DaVinci episode. That one was kind of flat.

From a comment on Hulu, I found out that every episode ever (including the new ones) is here: Good News Everyone... Futurama!

that song was brilliant!
Tonight's episode (which I am calling the Cat episode) was better than I was expecting from the commercials.
If I could get a gif of the cats doing the can-can, it would probably make part of my day.

Eh, the latest ep was okay. I much preferred the cyclical time episode. That might be my favorite so far.

Bah. If you fail your defense, you shouldn't have been defending in the first place. You'd have already been tested for general knowledge at your comps. Your committee would've been familiar with your project already, too, from your thesis proposal presentation. Plus, they probably would've read at least a rough draft of your thesis before you defend. But I guess that doesn't make for dramatic TV.
KITTIES!!! Lookit all the wittle kitties and their wittle adorable faces!! And their wittle doomsday device!
Fortunately, Diomedes (my cat) was asleep while I watched this episode, so he didn't get any bright ideas. He's already planning to take over the world, I swear.

Well, it IS 1000 years in the future. Maybe the process changed. The writers are familiar with the process I'm sure. There's like 4 PhDs in the Futurama writers' room.
In my opinion, the last three episodes have all been quite solid, with the last two being particularly great.
Anyway, Amy was MADE to fail by the cat. So, it was never really fair to her.
I don't think the latest one was that great. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't great. I loved "Lethal Inspection", The Late Philip J. Fry", and "A Clockwork Origin", and then this one came along, and I think it's really only on par with "That Darn Katz!" (Which I actually liked, just not as much)
Still not the worst of the season though, by any stretch of the imagination. That was irrefutably the Eye-phone one, which is actually the worst episode from ANY season, including the movies, that I can think of off the top of my head. I think it was worse than "That's Lobstertainment", it was so bad.
Overall, I think this season has been very good though so far. The great episodes outnumber the below average ones, and what's left over is still really good Futurama.
I am pleased.

I thought this was one of the best episodes of the season, it may even be the best one though I'll hold off making that decision until I watch it again in a few weeks.
I, too, loved the last episode. Had me loling at many of the jokes. The whole mop-bucket & Scruffy thing was hilarious.
