Now that no more shows are being made, I've made a section for all the missed opportunities for great episodes that could have been done. The show still had loads of potential areas that haven't been explored. Some of these are things I'd love to have seen on the show, and some are just really stupid ideas that I've had. Got any ideas of your own? Don't hesitate to email me!

Slug Day Afternoon
Fry and the crew go on a delivery to the Brain Slug planet. Hermes is assimilated and smuggles thousands of slugs on to the ship. Back on Earth, the slugs start a start to assimilate everyone, then plan to win the 3004 election. Fry, who is immune to the brain slugs because of his delta brain wave thing (remember Raging Bender?), and Bender (robot) must team up with Richard Nixon, who is more evil than ever, to defeat the devious slugs, who plan to assimilate the entire universe. They eventually win by winning over the robot vote and squashing as many slugs as possible.

Leela the Linda
When Linda is fired from her job by Morbo after a break up, a skint Leela decides to audition for the role. As all the other auditioners are too scared of Morbo, Leela gets the job after beating him up. At first, she loves her job, tackling the issues of the day, but when network execs tell her to dumb down and plug things, and Morbo makes a pass at her, she changes her mind. Meanwhile, Fry, Bender and an uninvited Zoidberg enjoy the sights and sounds of Los Angeles, where Leela works. Leela quits her job and, with the help of her friends, tries to get Linda and Morbo back together. They succeed, and the couple share an emotional - and gross - reunion.

Run Leela Run
In a take off of cult German film Run Lola Run, Leela relives the same period in time three times as she races to save her relationship with Fry. As Zoidberg messes around with the Professor's latest invention: a time-altering machine, Zapp Brannigan visits PE to pick something up, and Fry catches Leela in a seemingly compromising position with him. Devastated, he leaves a note to her saying that he's going somewhere and has taken the ship. Leela runs after him on foot, following his trail and ending up on Mars University, after borrowing a space-bike. Unfortunately, she is unable to get there quick enough to stop him kissing Amy. She is zapped back in time, and leaves quickly, managing to catch up to Fry before he leaves Earth. They are both hit by an enourmous truck. Again, Leela finds herself in the same position, this time beating up Zapp and stealing his ship. After chasing after Fry, she convinces him that it was a misunderstanding and they reunite.

A Wong Way From Home
While Fry, Leela and the rest of the crew simultaneously battle the Omicronians and the brains, Amy is feeling useless and left out. Dejected and tired of everyone thinking she is just a stupid rich girl, she decides to borrow the ship and goes to see Kif. On the way there, an electrical disturbance causes her to crash land the ship on a mysterious planet. The inhabitants of the planet come up and imprison her, and it turns out that there is an giant slave labour camp there. Amy imparts her knowledge of technology and beauty tips on the uncivilised slaves. She ends up leading a rebellion against her oppressors, using her claw-game skills to overthrow the leader. She helps the other slaves escape and goes back to her ship. She sets off home, and gets there qiuckly, after navigating through some asteroids and a black hole. Back at PE, everyone still thinks she's an idiot, but she is content in her usefulness, and keeps quiet about her ordeal.

The Frylight Zone
As part of an elaborate tax write-off, the PE crew must make a delivery to the Professor in the (only) alternate reality. They utilise a once-in-a-lifetime rip in the time/space continuum to get in. After travelling through the extremely strange parallel universe, they finally arrive on Earth, and meet their counterparts. Most of the other crew seem very different to their normal versions, what with the cowboy costumes and all, but Fry hasn't caught on to the fashion trend. Alternate reality Professor leads the normal crew into a room and locks them in, and it turns out he is using them in a plan to take over the world with one of his enourmous robots. Leela gets them all out, but she has to fight with her counterpart, which proves to be very difficult, as they always anticipate each other's moves. Leela wins by being impulsive. Jealous of Normal Fry's non-evil friends, Alternate Fry takes his place on the PE ship, leaving Fry behind. They wreak havoc in each other's dimensions for a while, but Nibbler secretly makes another space/time rip for Fry to get through. He convinces his friends it's really him and kicks out Alternate Fry.

I Can't Me Out of Your Head
On a regular delivery to the Galaxy of Terror, the crew are escaping from an army of angry atomic monsters. Driving on a stolen motorbike, Leela hits her head on the way into the ship, and goes into a coma. Back on Earth, the Professor declares that she cannot be cured by normal medicine, and someone must go inside her head to find the affected area. Wanting to see Leela's brain, Fry volunteers for the job. He wanders around her mind for a while, finding out what she thinks of him and everyone else. He manages to find the right area, and sets off a device which wakes her up. Fry can't find his way out of Leela's mind, and he is trapped in it as she goes about her life. He is touched by how much she cares about him, but is randomly attacked by her angry thoughts and nearly bored to death by some Orphanarium memories. The Professor tries to help guide him out, but Leela's mind keeps changing as she thinks about different things. Fry teaches her how to be stupid and not think too much, and manages to find his way out.

Dial M For Mom
Mom is involved in a spaceship accident and is taken to hospital. On her deathbed, she recounts her evil rise to power and falls out with her three sons. Deciding he was the only person she ever loved, she leaves everthing she owns to Farnsworth before going into a coma. She is declared dead. Farnsworth takes over the business and competes with Mom's sons for the robot industry. The Planet Express employees explore Mom's enourmous mansion. At first, the Professor tries to undo the evil things Mom has done, but he goes mad (-er) with power and sets a giant robot on a rampage through New New York, and the authorities are powerless to stop him. The crew take it on, and eventually manage to destroy it, but not before the Professor has amassed a giant army of killbots. Before he can set them free, however, Mom wakes up out of her coma, revealing that her heart hasn't in fact been beating for years. She takes over her company and goes back to her everyday evil deeds.

Anthology of Interest III
Zoidberg interrupts Bender's question and asks what would happen if he was a famous movie star in Hollywood:-
Zoidy is unbelievably happy and popular, living in a huge apartment and having thousands of adoring fans and a glamourous decapodian girlfriend. However, various slurs against people eventually get him run out of town by a mob of angry executives.

Leela asks what would have happened if she'd never met Fry. She is still a cryogenic councellor, and is getting very disillusioned with her job. She is dating the horrible Mayor's aide from 'The Why of Fry'. Manwhile, the Hypno Toad has amassed an army of minions and is slowly taking over NNYC. Desperate to do something right, Leela manages to singlehandedly defeat it. No-one can remember what she's done, but she finds some morale, quits her job and dumps the aide.

Fry wants to know what would happen if he was in a TV show (hold for non-existant laughs):
Fry and Bender enlist in a mystery reality TV show. It turns out that the show's producers (FOX, obviously) are going to be hunting the contestants for sport.

Condemned by the Space Pope
The crew make a delivery to Vatican 5, the Space Pope planet. When Bender steals some treasures and the Pope witnesses their questionable ethics, he officialy condemns them. The Professor is confident that it will not affect them, as no-one really pays attention to the Space Pope anymore, but Nixon blames a recent tax hike on the breakdown of religion, causing religious fervour to gradually spread through the universe. People stop using Planet Express, and the company almost becomes bankrupt. People get more and more fanatical, eventually running the PE employees off Earth. Banished to a tiny planet near the edge of the universe, they decide to try and dig up some dirt on the Space Pope, something that Bender turns out to be very good at. After implicating him in pretty much every unsolved crime in history, Bender announces his findings to the world. Riots take place all over Earth, and Leela wants to do something about it, but things slowly go back to normal.
