Plot

Bart Simpson does something that affects the future in a really bad way, so Bender travels back in time to kill him. [1]

Production

Al Jean said of the episode:

Futurama is such an easy fit. (...) It's really funny, and their show lends itself to any variety of plot lines. By having them on, we have a little freedom... The biggest thrill for me is that we don't have to adjust the animation style. [1]
