These are my instant comments for episodes in the fifth production season of Futurama. Episodes are listed here in their production order.
Jump to Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Season 4 Season 5 Season 6 Season 7
[Part of TV Series: Futurama]
Episode Title
Production Code, Broadcast Code, and Netflix Code.
The bulk of each entry is typically Notes where each line is prefaced by a label (e.g., "B" or "C") which references the time period that I watched the episode. See my post TV Series: Futurama which summarizes these labels.
The last line of an episode entry informs each label's viewing number, date of the viewing, and time of the viewing (when available). For example, "B=2=20131001 14:08-15:36" means notes prefaced by "B" were made during my second viewing of that episode, and the viewing occurred on 20131001 from 14:08 to 15:36.
Bender's Big Score
5ACV01-04 S06E01-04 NF06E01
B: So many puns and references.
C: "That's why they call me 11-inch Conrad." I get it.
C: "And introducing Zylex."
B: Having seen this before, I was able to focus on certain details involving Lars. [C: In particular, you can hear the voice if you concentrate]
C: "You must be at least this naked" [...] "Watch and learn."
C: "Here's your package sir."
C: The Professor has Thug Life tattoo'd on his back.
B: "I'm Scruffy. The janitor."
C: Reading the code triggered a message to 'God' from Godfella (3ACV20).
C: Paradox correcting.
C: Damn, Hermes's wife is...
C: A Brief History of Time Travel (References A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking)
C: "Let's just say he won't make it to the Last Supper." Interesting. He doesn't forget of its existence.
C: "You do a nice handjob Zoidberg."
C: He's wearing his fingerlonger.
C: Use variation of parameters and expand the Wronskian.
B: References The Terminator (1984): "Like some sort of dispatcherator?" "Yes, and don't forget to terminate him." [C: "What's with the sunglasses?" "It's really bright in the past."]
C: Ha. "After I kill Fry you're next."
C: The Bush-Gore ballot was caused by Bender. Interesting, because among the paradoxes, this was somehow consistent with history.
C: "You're not getting smarter." [...] "I'd like to see you try." (So cute!!!)
C: This episode explains how Fry's dog got instantly fossilized.
C: "Also, 50 TB of porn."

C: Everybody Loves Hypno Toad as a play on the sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond.
C: "The Force is with us, but that's about it." (Star Wars)
C: "Or is this one of those phony bologna feel-good wars like the War on Drugs?"
C: Hehe "BINGO!"
C: The theme plays. Hermes grunts along. Possibly one of the coolest moments in Futurama thus far.
C: Potato Head.

5ACV05-08 S06E05-08 NF06E02
C: "That was my left testicle."
C: Alluding to "Kif Gets Knocked Up a Notch" (4ACV01): "Aren't you also the grand midwife?"
C: Self-referencing: "It's like a movie with this happening in it."

C: Fry takes his coffee enema to go.

C: The literal translation of fonfon ru is "one who does not sleep with my superior officer"
Bb: I think this episode/movie, of all the episodes/movies, makes the least sense.
C: I guess it made more sense on this viewing. It also closed the whole in the universe.
Ba=2a=20131001 15:40-##:##, Bb=2b=20131006 16:25-17:33*, C=3=20150927 16:33-18:00*

Bb: Ha. It was only half a ball.
C: Bender is sent to the HAL institute (for a second time). But this time he's actually crazy.

C: "You are my father." [...] "Search your feelings, you know it to be true." (Star Wars)
C: The credits dedicate the show to Gary Gygax who passed away. The clip of him from "Anthology of Interest I" (2ACV16) plays: "Anyone want to play Dungeons & Dragons for the next quadrillion years?"
Ba=2a=20131002 23:57-24:08*, Bb=2b=20131003 11:14-12:29*, C=3=20150927 18:00-19:30*
