Such nostalgia for me revisiting these episodes. This second one is actually a lot funnier than I recalled. The jokes come hard and fast and the whole 20 minutes is a pleasure to sit through. Consistently amusing and clever.

Sets up side characters Amy, Hermes but especially Dr Zoidberg who is hilarious in his first meeting with young lady Fry.

This episode establishes the Planet Express as a basis for visiting various locations around the universe. It makes sense to start with the moon as our closest celestial neighbour.

Deals with Fry's expectations of the future versus the reality - something I'm sure the show will do many times.

The Crushinator! You have to romance a woman like that.
