15 Best Futurama Episodes
5. The Late Philip J. Fry (Season 6, Episode 7)
Once Futurama moved to Comedy Central, there was a noticeable drop in quality and positive fan response, but episodes like The Late Philip J. Fry kept its later years afloat.
When The Professor creates a forward-only time machine, he ends up trapped in the distant future with Fry and Bender, moving forward in time in a desperate bid to find an era where a backwards time machine has been invented.
Throughout all of this, The Professor and Bender seem less concerned about their chances of survival than Fry, who's left Leela stranded on a date.
Once more bringing to some great laughs thanks to the sheer ridiculousness of its premise, The Late Philip J. Fry features everything that makes the show great, from the outlandish humour, vibrant animation exploring the various futures the dysfunctional trio encounter, and the bittersweet ending that ties everything together perfectly.
