As a fan of the series, I pose this question to the Escapists in hopes of sparking discussion of the human condition. Two episodes that have been commented on constantly of the series are lauded as the saddest episodes in the show.
The first is Jurassic Bark, in which Fry discovers the remains of his long lost dog, Seymour, and the Professor could revive Seymour once again, but Fry is informed that Seymour had in fact died at the ripe old age of 12, 144 in dogs years. Fry then decides to not go through with the process. What is unknown to him is that those 7 years were spent Seymour waiting ever so faithfully for Fry to return not moving his spot once.
The second is The Luck of the Frish where Fry attempts to track down his lucky seven leaf clover to regain the loss luck of his childhood. Convinced that Yancey, his brother, stole the plant, and used its luck to change his name to Phillip J. Fry and became the first man to land on Mars, Fry realizes that it was in fact Yancey's son, named Phillip J. Fry Jr., who was the one that accomplished the great dreams that Fry Sr. had. Heartbroken that Yancey had so much love for his younger brother, to name his son after him, Fry closes the tomb of his unknown nephew.
There are many other episodes that are placed in this category these stick out in mind as the most profound. Which episode do you think will prevail?
