<!-- Make some notes on what was discussed, attempt to group topics.
*The writers were unaware that there was a cartoon about the Harlem Globetrotters in space
Format Example:
*They made up their own globetrotter names as they couldn't use actual globetrotters, the actual trotters okayed the use of their group's name
*Attempted to insert secrets into the episode to set up the future episodes and plan to point them out in the commentary.
*Travelling forwards in time can't result in causality problems.
**Secrets included the Nibbler shadow, at several other points the group randomly said "Secret!" despite nothing important being on screen.
*John DiMaggio wanted to play Marv Albert, but lost out to Jeff Cesario.
*Simultanious countdown is a stretch.
*Grotrian is a type of piano. Armo is the arm mutant, Lazar is the optic blast mutant; these two names aren't in the actual episode.
-->
*Network executives always ask what the stakes are when they get a script, so the episode starts by setting the stakes at zero.
*Censors made them adjust the conga line to hide more cleavage. No objection to the seven buttockses.
**They also rejected the word "mutha", which became "mama"
*The original story, involving Fry falling in love with a woman in a Sun, and having to move it, was derived from a Harry Stephen Keeler novel.

*'''Ken Keeler''': I should say at this point that I really know virtually nothing about basketball.<br/>'''David X. Cohen''': You would never know it. I mean this is pretty accurate stuff here.
Format Example:
*'''David X. Cohen''': That's my parent's home address "405". It's a different street, but that's where the number came from.<br/>[laughter]<br/>'''Matt Groening''': Wow! Everything is of significance.
*'''Unknown''': I think this is the first time we see Leela.
