View source for Segmented episodes

'''Segmented episodes''' are ''[[Futurama]]'' episodes that include three different stories, often framed in and often non-[[canon]].

The first segmented episode was "[[Anthology of Interest I]]" in [[season 2|the second season]], though the writers already added the Roman numeral to mark an interest in making more, like "[[Anthology of Interest II]]" from [[Season 3|the third season]]. The ''[[Anthology of Interest]]'' episodes feature an invention of [[Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth|the Professor]], the [[What-If Machine]]. When asked a what-if scenario (for example ''[[I, Meatbag|what if Bender were Human]]''), the What-if Machine simulates the scenario on screen, and it is shown to the {{Planet Express|crew}} and the viewers of the episode. These episodes thus feature a canon frame, surrounding three what-if scenario stories.

The first segmented episode not being a part of the ''Anthology of Interest'' series was "[[The Futurama Holiday Spectacular]]" from [[Season 6|the sixth season]], which featured three different non-canon [[Seasonal episodes|holiday stories]]. "[[Reincarnation]]" is also a segmented episode and presumably non-canon, featuring the ''Futurama'' series in three different animation styles.
