The 10 Best Futurama Episodes

Just like its Adult Swim counterpart Family Guy, Futurama has created such a huge following that it had to be brought back. Futurama hasn't been brought back as a full time television show though, just as a straight to DVD movie.

In honor of the new Futurama movie I thought this would be a good time to reminisce about the ten best episodes of Futurama. I like unusual and creative things so Futurama is right up my alley because some of these plots are quite strange.

Futurama Season 1, Episode 6 - A Fistful of Dollars
Fry checks his bank account to find out that since he's been asleep for 1,000 years the interest rate on his savings have actually made him a billionaire. Fry spends his entire fortune to buy the last unopened can of anchovies on the planet but the evil Mom will do anything to get those anchovies.

Futurama Season 1, Episode 9 - Hell is Other Robots
Bender tries to change his ways but his friends get annoyed and turn him back into evil Bender. Bender goes a little overboard though and is banished to Robot Hell where he meets the Robot Devil, and there's a musical number!

Futurama Season 2, Episode 5 - I Second That Emotion
Bender gets annoyed by Leela's pet, Nibbler. One day Bender decides to flush Nibbler down the toilet. The Professor decides to install an empathy chip in Bender so he won't be so cruel. Bender then becomes sad about what he did to Nibbler and sets out to find the little guy.

Futurama Season 2, Episode 7 - A Head in the Polls
The price of titanium sky rockets so Bender sells his body to a pawn shop. Bender's head is in the Hall of Heads. Meanwhile Bender's body is stolen by the head of Richard Nixon and Nixon joins the presidential race.
