Season 3

Production Season 3 was the third season of Futurama during the original run, and with 22 episodes, also the largest production season to date.

Broadcast wise, season 3 was, together with season 4, the most unordered aired season. Most episodes were aired part of broadcast season 3, while the others in broadcast season 4, save one (The Route of All Evil) which made its way to broadcast season 5. Which is explains why its original run lasts over one and a half year. Something very unusual for a season.

There are numerous references to Star Wars in this season listed here.

Plot development
Season 3 quickly lays out some terms, which will be recurring themes later on in the show. Amy Wong gets hooked up with Kif Kroker, Philip J. Fry learns more about his past and Bender Bending Rodríguez attempts his dreams of being a folk singer and becoming a chef.
