Behind the scenes of Futurama
" Focusing on Space pilot 3000"
Interview with Fry:
Host: So this episode was a major thing for you?
Fry: Yeah I thought so.
Host: So, describe your character.... Whats his purpose in the story?
Fry: Well, I'm suppose to be this 25 year old pizza delivery boy, who
suddenly gets frozen for 1,000 years and then wakes up in the year
3,000.... It's a pretty cool concept.... Hey I made a pun!
Host: Of course like most pilots, some things just didn't seem to go
exactly as planned....
Blooper:
The countdown procedes... 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 ,3, 2.... ( there is
suddenly a huge black out)
Director: Alright! Who the heck did that!??
Cut to:
Host: Now I heard... and please correct me if I'm wrong... that you were
the one who started that black out.
Fry: Hey, I was board!
Blooper:
Fry: Here's to another lousy millenium....( he falls backwards, but misses
the capsule and continues to fall back. His head hits the ground)
Ooowwww! Can I just, like... go home now?
Interview with Leela:
Host: What's your opinion on Fry's appearance?
Leela: Well he's got that all around baby face and he's also pretty small
for his age, so he's got that whole "a lot older then he looks" thing going.
He could certainly fool a lot of people... He sure had me fooled for a couple
of days.
Host: So, Leela do you think that maybe there's a chance that you and Fry
might... you know...
Leela: ( laughs nervously) Well, it's pretty unpredictable. The writers
usually like to bounce from one plot line to another, so I really have no idea.
ahem.
cut to:
Fry: Now that you mention it I have heard a few rumors flying around about
what's gonna happen with me and Leela... Um, but let's just keep that between
you and me... okay!?
Interview with Bender:
Bender: Yeah... I'm the pretty one, people may not realize it, eh, but
their humans whata they know ( to himself) Kill all humans... kill all
humans must kill all humans... uhh, oh sorry
I got a little sidetracked... I think I'll be leaving now! ( slowly gets up
and runs out of the room)
Blooper:
Fry: Wow a real live robot... or is that... Oh my god I'm sorry... I - I
wasn't quite ready. Can we do that again.
cut to:
Fry: My god... it's the future... My parents...my co - workers.... oh crud
this just isn't woking. Hey is there any way that we can just make this up
as we go?
cut to:
Fry: I remember while making that one scene I really had to go to the
bathroom and I had to hold it for 2 straight hours just to do that one
take! I was like, okay, can I pleeeeaaase go to the bathroom now?! Hee
hee. *sigh* it was a real pain in the butt experience. But I lived through it!
Host: okay one last thing!
Fry: What up!
Host: I just want to congratulate you and everyone else here on your emmy
nomination, I'm sure you all have your hearts set on winning. I really
truly think that you guys deserve that emmy more then anybody on the fox
network. But don't let mulder and scully know I said that!
Fry: Oh well, thanks. yeah I'm sure that I speak for all those Futurama
fans out there when I say that emmy is as good as ours!!!
