‘Futurama’ Fans Discover How A Tragedy Changed A Classic Joke — For the Better - eviltoast
In 2011, Comedy Central wisely changed an innocuous joke with newly improper implications

Found this interesting. I never saw the updated version, but I am guessing I probably wouldn’t have noticed the change. Just a random article I came across thinking you might enjoy. Or not. If I die, tell my wife hello.

    I have only seen this episode on DVD, and didn’t know they changed it.

    I don’t like that they change anything for streaming, either to remove jokes that didn’t age well or for attempts to upscale or whatever. It reminds me of when they were inserting product placement ads in the background of sitcoms a few years back.
