Ok, ok, enough already
When Fry, Leela and Bender was in the mutant crowd, I saw two cyclops that have a close resemblance to Leela. When that guy was singing about that sewer monster (sorry, I can't remember details at this moment), Leela was on the far right side of the screen and the cyclop couple that might be her parents was on the far left. Could these be her long lost parents? If they are, does that mean Leela is a Mutant?

That's what she told Fry in the first episode, but I know I saw two cyclops that look like Leela (only older). What I said above was PURELY SPECULATION.

uh, yea, I kind of figured it was. No need to shout. :) I was just putting in my two cents. I just seemed to recall it being established that she wasn't human, and was from off-world. I can see from other responses to your posting that may not be as set in cement as I may have thought.
LOL, sorry about that, it was the day after my birthday and I was in a pissy mood.

Happy B-day, Dave.
But I won't sing it, I don't want to pay royalties. :)

IIRC, in the first episode, she said she was born on the Earth, but nobody knows where her species lives. She's the only one of her kind on Earth. Or words to that effect. She could be wrong about being the only one. Groening & Cohen may have a surprise for her up their sleeves.

She said she was abandoned on Earth as a child and didn't know what galaxy her parents were from.

I found a framegrab that seems to show Leela's parents:

Notice the two in the upper left corner... eerie.

Or
oh Dam*!! I was gonna post the framegrab.... but who cares.
The old fat guy with the one eye doesn't really look like Leela, but that lady, it's like a split screen of Leela!
eerie it is..
galaxy
but
Earth.
If that's not her parents, they sure want you to think that it =might= be her parents. The "mom" looks alot like Leela.

I'm going to contend that the animators were just screwing with us, unless this is one cryptic piece of foreshadowing.

To me it looks like many of the mutants resembled characters from the show. Maybe it's just me

You're right! I freeze framed it and the woman looks like Leela with her hair up. I don't know if they are her parents or not. Odd that Leela didn't seem to notice them. Here are some possibilities:
1. They aren't Leela's Parents and: 1a. They are just mutant cyclopes. 1b. The animators just used a modified Leela in the background to save time.
2. They are Leela's parents and: 2a. They were on the surface and claimed to be from another galaxy to avoid the prejudice against mutants. While there they abandon Leela so she would have a chance at a better life. 2b. Leela knows her parents are mutants, but doesn't want anyone to know. They also want to keep it a secret, so they didn't give it away. 2c. They are from another galaxy, but they decided to live with the mutants after abandoning Leela. 2d. They are Leela's older brother and sister, who were abandon at the same time. 2e. After some kind of catastrophe, they were separated. Leela was taken in by someone who thought her parents were dead and they told her the "other galaxy" story so she would know she was a mutant. Her parents think she was killed and gave up looking for her. This is the general plot of the new Kung Fu show.
Perhaps in another episode we'll find out.

Well here's a thought, if they were Leela's brother and sister, why wouldn't they be accepted? Leela is.
