Wonder if they're going to pick up where the Planet Express crew were last seen (the Simpsons crossover, shown in 2014) in 3014, or jump forward to match the broadcast year, making it 3022? Even Amy will be in her 40s if they do, and as for the Professor...

Billy West could probably voice Bender without anyone realising. (There's a bit in one of the DVD commentaries where he and DiMaggio start doing duelling Professors back and forth, like Steve Coogan and Rob Brydon arguing as Michael Caines.)

I'd forgotten there were two horrible episodes where Bender dressed as a woman for Reasons (and cheap laughs).

'That's Lobstertainment' was the pit of the original run, though. Woo, yeah, let's take a swing at the very hip and contemporary targets of [checks notes] silent movies and Borscht Belt comedians!

Also Harold Lloyd was an awesome physical performer and stunt artist, so linking him to a lovely (both in-universe and on screen) and annoying comic was kind of an injustice to anyone who might never have heard of him before.

Early on there a few jokes here and there about gender that were merely tedious at the time, the same as all sexist jokes for the era. Not even in an angry or progressive seeking way of today but just the "jesus christ how many unoriginal comedians and writers can write these same exact tired hollow jokes about women/men/relationships." Now they are worse than tedious, but less than outrageous, just kind of pitiful.
There was an episode of Duckman where the premise was "men and women just can't get on, ammirite, so the USA gets split into two countries, one all male and the other all female" that I remember as being pretty cringeworthy even at the time for having every joke go exactly as you'd expect, so it would probably be unwatchable now.

Negotiations? He prefers the word 'extortion'. (The X makes it sound cool.)
