Up to this point in the series, Leela’s origins had been one of the biggest ongoing mysteries. And the ending never fails to make me shed a tear. But what makes it stand out is how it forces Fry to grow emotionally, particularly in his relationship with Leela.

The Harlem Globetrotters being aliens and also remarkably intelligent physicists is really fun, accompanied by a great subplot of Bender wanting to be a Globetrotter, and the time skips facilitate plenty of excellent visual gags. Only for the very end of the episode to reveal that Fry literally moved the heavens for Leela, writing her a love note in the stars with the ship’s star vacuum, only for it to get destroyed in order to stop the time skips before Leela ever got to see it. This causes problems when Fry, who has desperately been trying to get Leela to go out with him, ends up married to her after one of the skips only for them to get divorced right after the next skip since neither of them can remember why they fell in love. While events occur normally during the skips, no one can remember what happened in them.

Not only do they still lose the game, the sudden shortage of chronitons throws the space-time continuum out of balance, causing time to start skipping forward at random intervals. To help Earth win a basketball game against the Harlem Globetrotter homeworld, Professor Farnsworth sends the Planet Express crew to harvest time-altering chronitons so his “atomic supermen” can age fast enough to be competitors. Time Keeps On Slipping Fry’s love note in the stars to Leela Now, to quote everyone’s favorite bending unit, “Let’s go already!” #10.

In fact, there are several episodes I love like “Teenage Mutant Leela’s Hurdles” or the anthologies that just didn’t quite make it. Narrowing this list down to ten was incredibly difficult, so if I leave off any of your favorites, please don’t be too mad as there’s a good chance said episode is among my favorites too. Before we begin, I do want to make it clear that Futurama is one of my all-time favorite TV shows and aside from the transphobic garbage that is “Bend Her,” there isn’t a single episode I would consider outright bad.
