Fry.

Bender is a great supporting character, but his overexposure and far-too-frequent feature episodes annoy me and degrade his value.

I agree.  Making him the star makes him annoying though.  I've come to dislike many of the Bender-centric episodes.  In my opinion that show should focus on Fry.  I sorta disliked the decision early on to change him from everyman to idiot.

It's really pretty good.  The movies were weak overall, the comedy central episodes are hit and miss, but more hit then miss.  The show has the ability to be funny, sentimental and really weird and sometimes disturbing all at once.  Also it's pretty well written.  I like how many episodes tie up the plot in strange and new ways.

You can find it on Netflix if you have that.  Other places that Raz might be able to direct you to if you don't.

I prefer Fry to be as stupid as possible, but still wish they had more Fry-centric episodes.  Unless I'm forgetting one, there wasn't a single one this past season.

QuoteThe movies were weak overall

I dunno.  I'd count one weak but watchable (Bender's Big Score), one terrible (Bender's Game), and two really good (Wild Green Yonder and especially Beast With a Billion Backs).

Near Death Wish and a farewell to arms were fairly Fry centric.

Yeah, I don't really get it either.  It doesn't even remotely touch The Simpsons at its height.  I'd rather watch American Dad.

If it's on, meh.  But all I hear is Peg Bundy.

It's my favourite animated show ever.

Yes, I said it.

I think I might watch a "new to me" episode tonight.

As for the poll itself, I want to be edgy and cool and name some minor third character... but instead I have to go with Fry.

Fry is good, but Nixon rules.  Especially now that he's got backup from the headless body of Spiro Agnew.

Less the Venture Bros., I concur.  Unless Red vs. Blue counts, if Red vs. Blue counts, Red vs. Blue is number two, despite the last two underwhelming seasons where they decided what made the show great is no longer anything they were very much interested in (because they're interested in playing with their new CGI tools).

It pleases me greatly to see Zoidberg in the lead. So many great one-liners from him:

Don't marry him, Leela, he's a doctor, poor as a rat!

Bender, when not obnoxious, would be my 2nd choice. For 3rd choice I'd put Zapp Brannigan forward, either trying to seduce Leela or pestering poor Kif.

And I'll always love Hermes' Bureaucrat song.
