(Ranking every Futurama episode #1)This is not the best pilot, but when I think of the best ANIMATED pilot, I think of this episode. This episode, while I didn't like it nearly as much at first, is one of my favorites from Futurama. You might be wondering why I didn't like it as much at first, and that is because I hadn't adapted to this shows sense of humor yet, I thought it was funny, but I didn't think it was hilarious like I do now. This pilot is very good at introducing characters, I liked the pilots in Groening's other shows, but they were a lot slower at making you 100% know the characters, while this episodes writing is so good that you know the 3 main characters personalities just by listening to them for 2 minutes. Leela's characters isn't introduced as well as Bender and Fry, but that is barely a flaw. This episode is a very funny episode, and it has some jokes that most people who watch it will like. I recommend this episode so much and if you are new you will love what comes next even more.
