1. Season 3's finale, episode 22, the 50th overall episode (When You Wish upon a Weinstein) was originally unaired by Fox, this last episode first aired on Adult Swim.
Comments: B- (4.1.07) I borrowed this from a friend and watched at my leisure. The pop culture references from old commercials to internet junk are incredibly funny and weird to have feel so current. Some of my favorite unexpected moments in the first season include episode ... Chris & Gorilla short deleted scene is good.
Episode 8's Quantum Leap - ziggy appearance.
E9. Silhoutte electric company joke
