Topics of Discussion
- Hovering technology was supposed to have completely replaced the wheel, but wheels still appear in some episodes.
- Remixed theme music is used, apparently after hearing this they decided never to do it again, but there are a few other cases of different theme music.
- Mars' sky is yellow instead of red to avoid Fry blending in.
- The library's sign refers to Marilyn vos Savant who had the highest IQ in the world.
- J. Stewart Burns regularly tries to add chess jokes.
- Ideas were "borrowed" from numerous college movies, such as Animal House, The Program, and Revenge of the Nerds.
- Dean Vernon was named for John Vernon who played the Dean in Animal House
- The Simpsons characters are only to appear as objects, as they are a show in Futurama.
- Interestingly, Futurama later became a show in some episodes of The Simpsons but real in other episodes. In the crossover comics however, The Simpsons retain fictional status and interacted with the crew via Mental Realms.
- Early versions of the characters had five fingers to diferentiate from The Simpsons, it looked weird and was changed, through Poster Guy sometimes retains the extra finger.
- Constant use of Apple Macintosh computers.
- Guenter was going to be more realistic, but it looked creepy.
- The Professor's eyes had at this point never been seen. Billy wanted to see them, Matt said that he shouldn't.
- Billy's high quality voice work.
- Very early on, Cubert Farnsworth was going to be the Professor's experiment and Fry's room-mate.
- The diagram "Witten's Dog" was drawn by a physicist at Caltech, it parodies a real style of physics diagram.
- If you look closely it's also a faeces joke.
- Pointing out the urine on the floor of Guenter's parent's cage. Most of the commentators hadn't noticed it before.
- Frank Welker's animal sounds.
- Guenter was the name of Stewart's college room-mate.
- His other room-mates are listed on the floor plan.
- Earlier versions had more animals fall from the tree.
- Fry's dancing was originally a random one-off character.
- Planning to bring Guenter back.
Highlights / Quotes
- Unknown: There's your phone number, how'd you come up with that
Unknown 2: The Lambda? That was a desperate effort not to have a phone number that went 555-0155.
Goofs
- This is said to be the first appearance of Amy's parents, but they were in the previous episode.
