The time between the Simple Minds' song "Don't you forget about me" (released 20Feb1985) and "Luck of the Fryish" (aired 11Mar2001) is now shorter than the episode aired date and present date. This show is now closer to the 80s than to present day, and still holds up nicely!

Obligatory - now I feel old.

But also, this episode has got to be in the top three of all Futurama. Still gets me every time.

I recently realized that this episode is actually twice as depressing. If Fry is his own grandfather, that means he's at his great grandsons grave too.

"I should be the one in that grave." "And since when is he a 'the'? You're twice the 'the' he ever was!" This episode produced a lot of great lines, if one can only look past the sadness that is the ending.
