"All the Presidents' Heads" is the one-hundred-and-eleventh episode of Futurama, the twenty-third of the sixth production season and the seventh of the eighth broadcast season. It aired 28 July, 2011 on Comedy Central. The crew members alter history when they travel back in time to the American Revolution.
Plot
Production
During May of 2011, Countdown to Futurama released three items of promotional material for the episode: concept art of the Planet Express headquarters with a Tudor architecture design on 27 May, concept art of Nibbler wearing an English attire on 28 May, and part of the storyboard showing Professor Farnsworth meet Benjamin Franklin and Paul Revere on 29 May.
To coincide with Sarah Palin mangling the story of Revere's ride, Comedy Central Insider released a video clip featuring the Planet Express crew in the 18th century with Benjamin Franklin and Revere.[1] This was the second video clip of the broadcast season not to be released by Countdown to Futurama, the first being from "Neutopia" and the third being from "Benderama".

Additional Info
Trivia
- "The Late Philip J. Fry" is the seventh episode of broadcast season 7 and involves time travel. "All the Presidents' Heads" is the seventh episode of broadcast season 8 and also involves time travel.
- In the British version of New New York, Doctor Who (or the Doctor to be accurate) can be seen running into a blue police box/Tardis across the street from Planet Express.
- Ironically, in Doctor Who, the Doctor has visited a city called New New York several times.
Allusions
- The title is a reference to the book (and the film) All the President's Men.
- FDR's head says, "We have nothing to fear but running out of beer." This is a reference to his inauguration speech, "The only thing we need to fear is fear itself."
- Scruffy, Hermes, Leela, and Bender chant, "Four more beers! Four more beers!" This is a parody of a presidential chant, "Four more years! Four more years!" after a President is about to finish his second term.
- Some references are made in the third act to the television series Monty Python's Flying Circus.
- When Zoidberg is walking towards the screen to turn on the documentary, he is walking in the same manner as John Cleese from the famous "The Ministry of Silly Walks" sketch.
- The part of the documentary recalling Paul Revere's ride is done in the style of Terry Gilliam's animations on the series.
