I love how they get in all of the techie jokes into this show. Like when they were ragging on Fry and his 'low definition' tv.
Amy - "Yeah like I bet on a tv like that you can't even make out my really obscene tattoo" followed by a zoom in to a blurred out tattoo.
One of the best lines:
Fly and Leela are doing 'the robot'.
Bender - "Wow you guys are really good.....how are you doing that?"
I just watched "Space Pilot 3000" on the R1 set. There is some extra commentary at the end of the episode which is missing from the R2 version.
On the R1 version, after the episode ends the screen goes to black and the commentary still continues for a few more seconds. (There is a discussion about the origin of the "30th Century Fox" logo.) All of the commentary after the end of the show is missing from the R2 version.
I didn't realize that they actually put the shadow of Nibbler (who supposedly pushed Fry into the Cryogenic freezer) in the pilot. Since that new episode just aired Sun., I kept thinking about how cheesy it is when these shows pretend to go back in time and add things, but this plot had been planned from day one!

The episode that aired this past Sunday was a re-run...
Based on your smiley I think you're making a joke, but just to be clear, this WAS the initial showing of "The Why Of Fry" - according to this and other episode guide sites.
Uhh...no it wasnt...I had seen that show before...quite a while ago actually...it was a rerun...I dont care what the episode guides said...I had seen it before...and its still very very funny...
Love this show.
