The saddest thing I've ever seen...

Jurassic Bark is certainly the best Futurama episode ever. I know that this has been said a million times, but this episode is also the saddest... I'm not a BIG animal lover, but it's impossible not to cry at the end, or at least be REALLY REALLY sad.I've been able to watch it completely only 1 time. There's not much to say without revealing anything, but all contribute to the unique atmosphere not present in any other episode. I can't believe that futurama didn't won the Emmy for the best animated program in 2003 by presenting "Jurassic Bark". It is a hundred time better than "Roswell that ends well".

10/10 You must watch it even if you're a big Futurama hater !

You will cry for ever and ever

Reading most of the reviews here shows exactly the same colective feeling: once you've seen this episode you can't ever watch it again and just the memory of it will instantly make you burst into tears. I agree with someone who said it is the sadest thing ever in the world. It's just like that. I've not seen any other piece of film (live action or animated) that will make my heart brake completely and then throw it on the floor and step on it again and again. Forget Bamby's mom, forget Lion King, forget Titanic or Artificial Intelligence's ending (Well that last one can be the only match actually). Anyway, if you're a dog lover, or a human lover, or a human with human feelings, watch at your own discretion. Be advised. Thanks Matt Groening for the first 10 ir 12 seasons of The Simpsons and for this great show.

like so many others said: great episode

I like animated comedy, its comedy for 'our' generation. Sitcoms just don't do it anymore and implement way to many morals into the storyline.

Futurama differentiates itself enough from the other popular animated comedy series to be interesting. Animated comedy is, maybe silently, stigmatized for being to superficial. Indeed the stories don't go to deep most of the time and that is the appealing part of it, but now and then people have a need for extra emotions besides humor.

Bringing drama with a laugh, to me sounds impossible. obviously it can be done, but it almost always negates or even nullifies the drama part.

This episode was regular for almost the entire length, but it was build up to the end so ingeniously and unnoticeable that the end indeed made such an impact.

I think that if you compare this scene with the saddest scene from friends (in context) futurama wins by a land slide in sadness.

Best animated episode

I am a big Futurama fan. I have rewatched it 5 or more times. And this episode always makes me cry even when I know what will happen. Sometimes I think to skip it because I don't want to cry. But I never skip because I know it's so beautiful and pure. This is a masterpiece.

Think about it

yeah, it is a tough one to watch. The second time and beyond, you know it's going to hurt. Can get sad just thinking about watching it....

And then think about the fact that originally the idea was to have Frys' mother play the part of the dog! Wow! They actually abandoned that idea, because they felt it was too sad. I wonder what mails they would have gotten, if they had aired that one

Quiz
The episode was originally going to be about Fry finding the body of his mom. However, this premise got the ax after the writers realized that Fry dragging his mom's fossilized corpse around New New York would be "too upsetting" to viewers.

Blooper
The score on the TV shows 2nd quarter Wisconsin 9 Stanford 3, however, the actual half-time score was Stanford 9 Wisconsin 3. Wisconsin's first touchdown didn't come until the third quarter.

Citazioni
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: [Seymour is about to be cloned; the scanner reveals his species and the age when he died] Interesting... It seems Seymour died at the ripe old age of fifteen.
Fry: Fifteen? You mean... he lived for twelve more years after I got frozen?
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: [Nods] Indeed.
Fry: [pauses] Stop the cloning.
[Everybody exclaims in confusion; Fry then takes a large wrench and hammers it against the machine, halting the cloning process]
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: [Crosses his arms] Oh, sure! Smash the *smart guy's* machine...
Bender: Fry, what's wrong?
Fry: Think about it: Seymour lived a full life after I was gone... He probably even added new songs to his repertoire.
Bender: But that's a good thing. "Walkin' On Sunshine" sucks noodles.
Fry: I had Seymour 'till he was three. That's when I knew him, and that's when I loved him... I'll never forget him...
[Picks up the fossil and looks into its apparent eyes]
Fry: But he forgot me a long, long time ago...
[Kisses his dog on the head, places him on the broken machine, casts a last look of good-bye, and leaves]
