Bring forth the tissues, the tubs of ice cream, and the plasma rifles. Okay, maybe not that last one. But prepare thyselves for a very sad episode all about....sad episodes. For years, the cartoon show Futurama has refused to die and has delighted, amused, and devastated us all with its hilarious and soul-touching content. And four of those episodes that address the latter sentiment are here to be discussed, and they all happen to be about show protagonist, general slacker, and man-out-of-time Philip J. Fry - and more specifically, his family. From a sentimental father-son moment to an adorable hairy stray, these were the episodes that tugged the heartstrings. Tissues! Ice cream! Ray guns! You never know what you'll need. Better bring them all.
