"Hassle in the Castle"
The gang goes out on a boating expedition, but get lost in a fog and runs aground on Haunted Isle. They decide to venture to the abandoned Vázquez Castle on the island for help, but instead encounter a transparent phantom who scares and warns them to leave the island and never return. The gang tries to capture him but instead they pass through the Phantom and they learn he seems to be able to walk through walls.
This was the first episode to open with the familiar vocal theme, sung by Larry Marks. All subsequent first season episodes open with Marks' version of the theme. This was also the first episode to use the standardized episode title card.

Hell Is Other Robots.
"Hell Is Other Robots" is the ninth episode of Futurama. It originally aired in North America on May 18, 1999, as the season finale of the first season. The episode was written by Eric Kaplan and directed by Rich Moore. Guest stars in this episode include the Beastie Boys as themselves and Dan Castellaneta voicing the Robot Devil. The episode is one of the first to focus heavily on Bender. In the episode, he develops an addiction to electricity. When this addiction becomes problematic, Bender joins the Temple of Robotology, but after Fry and Leela tempt Bender with alcohol and prostitutes, he quits the Temple of Robotology and is visited by the Robot Devil for sinning. Finally Fry and Leela come to rescue him, and the three escape.
The episode introduces the Robot Devil, Reverend Lionel Preacherbot and the religion of the Temple of Robotology, a "Futurama" spoof on the Church of Scientology. The episode received positive reviews, and was one of four featured on the DVD boxed set of Matt Groening's favorite episodes: "Monster Robot Maniac Fun Collection".

Nice idea for a thread, Vic.

Nice stills from Hell is Other Robots: Futurama is probably my favourite animated show.

I love (non-Japanese) animation! From cartoons to surreal Eastern European stop motion. LOVE!

In my world, Tex Avery is a genius and Jan Svankmajer a god.

Tex Avery's Bad Luck Blackie is one of my top ten films of all time:



But he did so much good stuff - Screwy Squirrel, King Size Canary, Droopy, Magical Maestro and on and on and on. Essential.

These scamps kept me sane during a very personally troubled decade:



I could go on and on about this, but I will leave it there...for now...
