Trivia / Futurama S 1 E 4 "Love's Labors Lost in Space"

• Deleted Scene: The scene about the Killbots would then explain what became of them; namely, with their kill limit reached, the killbots became too morose to do anything else, and the DOOP gave them jobs, such as one right there on the Nimbus's bridge. Bender decides to "help" by resetting their kill limits, making them go back on the rampage.
• Edited for Syndication: The version seen on American syndicated broadcasts had an edit that wasn't for time or content reasons: a whispering sound was added when Leela explains to Bender why they need two of each animal.
• First Appearance: Gen. Zapp Brannigan, Lt. Kif Kroker, and Nibbler.
  • Bender's love of cooking is first hinted at in this episode (he immediately offers to cook Nibbler).
  • Technically, the killbot design. It doesn't show up in the episode thanks to being deleted, and wouldn't appear in the show proper until Bender's Game.
• What Could Have Been:
  • Zapp was written for Phil Hartman, but Hartman was murdered before he could record any lines. Billy West took over, doing a spot-on impression of Hartman.
  • Zapp was supposed to get fatter every time he reappeared on screen, but the animators were too disgusted by the results to do it. They instead used the design sketches of Zapp at his fattest as a basis for the grotesquely obese sauna user that Amy unknowingly hits on in "Why Must I Be a Crustacean in Love?"
