I think this is the most serious the series has ever got. Philosophical, but not to much. Sad, but with a happy ending. The best episode made until today.

For many people the last episode they saw of the "old" Futurama. It was a bittersweet goodbye, because the episode was really stunning and the opera-scene at the end was fantastic.

Paralel universes and boxes. It's like an episode from Twilightzone, just more colorful and with Zoidberg.

I think every Futurama fan was hyped when the 6th season Futurama aired on Comedy Central aaaaaandd.... It was ok. The first few episodes were not that special and a little predictable. Than I saw this one and boy was I happy to see that it was really entertaining and even pretty serious. Hope to see more like this one in the future

Fry gets parasites that make him strong and smart. Even Leela begins to fall in love with him, what more could a man ask for? But Fry is not satisfied and wants to find out, if Leela loves him and not the parasites. Also: have you ever seen a fightscene inside someones ass?

Director: Rich Moore | Stars: Billy West, Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio, Tress MacNeille
Votes: 3,614
Stories with time travel and paradoxes usually either suck or are great. In this case it works. The story behind the UFO in Roswell is "explained" and it tells us why Fry is so "special".
9.

Episode:
A Taste of Freedom
(2002)
TV-14 | 23 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
Dr. Zoidberg's exuberant celebration of Freedom Day makes him Public Enemy #1.
Director: James Purdum | Stars: Billy West, Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio, Tress MacNeille
Votes: 2,429
Not much to say about this one. A story about how far personal freedom goes and how far it should go.
10.
Futurama (1999– )
Episode:
Space Pilot 3000
(1999)
TV-PG | 23 min | Animation, Adventure, Comedy
A down-on-his-luck pizza delivery guy is accidentally frozen on New Year's Eve 1999 and wakes up in the year 3000.
Directors: Rich Moore, Gregg Vanzo | Stars: Billy West, Katey Sagal, John DiMaggio, Dick Clark
Votes: 4,982
The best way to start the top ten is of course with the very first episode. From the beginning it was clear that Futurama was going to be very special. The story about the loser Philip J. Fry who travels to the Future by dumb luck was interesting from the first minute on.
