May I ask, what Futurama episode do you feel is the best representation of what is a good, compelling story? Just trying to understand your personal expectations from past seasons. I personally enjoy the tie-ins to pop-culture, though I understand how many folks might disagree, but I feel every season seems to have their own connections to what events were relevant during their creation.

I love the high concept stuff.
Suicide booths
Robotic Santa judging everyone naughty
Trees down
The parabox
The thousand-year-old TV broadcast
We’re fine on Coke syrup
The high points of the show for me are every time they whip something out that’s simple and straightforward but you look at it and go I never in a million years would have thought of it; Yes that makes perfect sense and I would expect to see that.
Sorry I’m not going to put a lot of effort into this but just check out the plot if “kif gets knocked up” from season 4. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kif_Gets_Knocked_Up_a_Notch
The universe events like getting a delivery job. The character emotions changing the plot unpredictably. The new direction of the episode where the viewer doesn’t know what will happen next.
Versus this episode: open episode in planet express building and start with a few jokes and then kif walks in and says what the rest of episode will be about.
Gotta say though, Zapf Brannigan will always be funny. Bless him.
Ah yes. Thanks for the Kif episodes comparison. I understand better and appreciate your thoughts on the matter.

Writing. Direction. Character growth. Humor. Action. Adventure. Slice of life.
Best Futurama episode ever.
