Zapp Gets Canceled
As the title suggests, Zapp gets canceled. But mostly this episode is that Leela gets a new job as the Doop captain of the Nimbus. And then she goes to visit aliens in a bucket to try to peace treaty all their air away. If that doesn't make sense, you didn't see the episode I guess. Ben gives a...

Game of Tones
An evil tone is going to destroy the planet why not? But that's not important, because most of this episode is hanging out in Fry's dreams. Or memories. Or dream memories. It's not totally clear, but it does mean he can't go to the Booby Tuesday's. Ben, meanwhile, does the important business of...
