Writer:	Ken Keeler
Director:	Brian Sheesley
Star:	Katey Sagal (Turanga Leela),  John DiMaggio (Bender / Fox Technician / Bully),  Maurice LaMarche (Lrrr / President McNeal / Kif Kroker),  Phil LaMarr (Hermes Conrad),  Frank Welker (Nibbler),  Tress MacNeille (Ndnd / Linda / Jenny McNeal / Stenographer),  Lauren Tom (Amy Wong),  Billy West (Philip J. Fry / Prof. Hubert J. Farnsworth / Dr. Zoidberg / Zapp Brannigan)

One of the deleted scenes in this episode shows the professor telling Fry that they can't go to a real beach because after men stopped hunting whales, they overpopulated the oceans and made them too dangerous.

Inclusion of the scene would have probably caused a re-write of a later episode when the crew goes fishing. (edit) First appearance of Lrrr and Ndnd. (edit) That mysterious man wearing a white suit with a big nine on it was seen again! He was among the people who were celebrating the departure of the aliens. There was a concept that the crew was going to explore where they would visit a planet where everyone wore numbers. If they did it, it would have been an homage to Final Fantasy 7. (edit)

Bender: Single female lawyer, fighting for her clients, wearing sexy mini skirts, and being self reliant. Hey I'm pretty good. (edit) Hermes: We find the defendant vulnerable yet spunky! (edit) Lrrr: And now we must return to our planet, to catch the end of a thousand-year-old Leno monologue. (edit) Lrrr: Attention, McNeal. We are reasonably satisfied with the events we have seen. Overall I would rate it a C+, OK, not great. As a result, we will not destroy your planet. But neither will we provide you with our recipe for immortality.
Fry: Way to overact, Zoidberg! (edit) Fry: Now just read these cue cards... And action!
Farnsworth: Miss McNeal, I'm afraid I must decline your offer of marriage. For, you see, I'm dying. Cough, then fall over dead.
Zoidberg: My God, he's dead.
Farnsworth checks his pulse (edit)

If they have a recipe for immortality, then how did their ships explode without them falling in space or something? and in anthology of interest 2, the same thing happens when fry plays space invaders. (edit) On Monument Beach, some monuments seen are seen in several other episodes in their normal locations, such as the Whitehouse in Washington D.C, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy. (edit) Opening theme promotion: PROUDLY MADE ON EARTH (edit) LOOK HARD: In the shot from Earth to Omicron Persei 8, you can see a brief glimpse of the Voyager spacecraft. (edit) The alien's television is oval and quite small. It also has rabbit ear antennae. (edit)

Star Trek (1966):
A door opens with the hatch noise used in Star Trek. (edit) Females in Science Fiction

During the assault on the "mothership" (hubble telescope) Fry mentions he's going to be a science fiction star, just like Uhura, Captain Janeway, and Xena. Interestingly enough, the three he chose were all women.

Uhura was the Chief Communications Office on the USS Enterprise in Star Trek: The Original Series. Captain Janeway was the captain of the USS Voyager in Star Trek: Voyager. Xena was the warrior princess in Xena: Warrior Princess.

Fry is also dressed in the uniform of the pilots of the Rebel Alliance from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (the entire assault is a partial parody of the assault on the Death Wars). (edit) Charles Atlas:
The scene where the muscular guy picks on Fry at the beach is reminiscent of the Charles Atlas print ads which have a similar set-up. (edit) When Animals Attack:
The title is a take off of the TV special "When Animals Attack" aired in the U.S. in 1996, which featured video clips (all shot unintentionally) of animals attacking humans. (edit) During the attack on the mothorship, you see a turret swiveling while trying to shoot down a fighter. This is exactly the same as a small scene in Star Wars ep. IV, during the attack on the Death Star. (edit)
