I didn't realize there was this much love for Slurm Factory (though I also love it, and it just missed the list).  I think for me, the second half of F&TSF dragged a little bit—I loved the factory tour, but once they discovered the secret behind Slurm, the episode seemed to kind of slow down a lot, to me.  As for…

It was kind of unavoidable.  (Much like the weeping.)

Noted.

This was a really, really, really tough list to make, and for me, Mars U took Fry & the Slurm Factory's spot. I thought they were both half a brilliant episode, but for me, F&TSF just kind of slowed down a lot in the second half, while Mars U picked up steam.

As I understand it, and I could be mistaken, his main philosophy on life seems to be "Watch SMASH!".

I could've sworn that the entire point of (at least the title of, if not the entire plot of) House… was to get the HATES acronym thing going.  (Or, more accurately, THATEOTS.)
