I, Roommate - S1-E3
Trivia: Bender's apartment number is 00100100 which, on the ASCII chart, is a Dollar sign. (00:05:35)
Trivia: In the scene where Amy is seen soaking her fingers (but not in that shot), one water-person on the far left has a face identical to that of Marge Simpson as depicted in the Tracy Ullman Simpsons shorts.
Trivia: The planet Chapek Nine, where they deliver the goods to, is named after the author who coined the term robot.
Trivia: In the original ending for this episode (as seen in the DVD's deleted scenes), Bender says he'll be less like his old self when robot hell freezes over, to which Fry replies that it does freeze over during the winter. He reads this out of a book. In the aired ending, when Leela asks Bender to be less like his old self, he asks her if she could stand a 100' drop (or something), and Fry says "Good ol' Bender." However, you can still see the book in his hand from the original ending.
Love's Labors Lost in Space - S1-E4
Trivia: The creatures on the list are: Purple Fruit Snake, Sharktopus, Chilean Space Bass, Parasitic Puppy, Gretchen Mole, WIndy Shrimp, Vampire Slug, Excommunicate, Four-Legged Mimic, Molotov Cockatoo and Hermaphlamingo.
Episode Two: The Series Has Landed - S1-E2
Trivia: When Amy is trying to get the keys out of the claw machine the games in the background have names like "Gender-Neutral Pac-Person" and "Mortal Kooperation(sic)"
Episode Two: The Series Has Landed - S1-E2
Trivia: The black and white scene Leela and Fry witness on the ride "Destination Moon" (In which the man says to his wife "One of these days, Alice, bang. Zoom. Straight to the moon.") is a scene from the 1950s TV show called "The Honeymooners".
Trivia: If you watch closely, after Fry is leaning on the chair just after the countdown to ten reaches zero and he loses his balance, they cut to a close-up of the chair's legs falling over. You can see Nibbler's shadow cast on the wall in front of him. This was however retroactively added to the first season DVD. In the original airing of the pilot on TV Nibbler's shadow was not present.
Suggested correction: This has proven to be in the original airing.
Suggested correction: The shadow was present in the screener. Matt Groening confirmed in the DVD commentary it was always there. Nibbler was brought in in episode 4.
I, Roommate - S1-E3
Trivia: The title of this episode ("I, Roommate") is a parody of one of Isaac Asimov's books, entitled "I, Robot."
Episode Two: The Series Has Landed - S1-E2
Trivia: The creators were well into the late animation stage when they realized that the original moon lander had left the moon. They then added the plaque in the background that says "Returned by the historical sticklers society".
