It said in the first episode that Prof. Farnsworth had a previous crew before Fry, Leela, and Bender joined up. Any ideas of who they were? I've always thought the former crew was Amy, Hermes, and Zoidberg. Then once Fry and company joined, Amy became an intern, Hermes, a beauract, and Zoidberg a doctor.

Who were the former P.E. crew?

You'll have to make enquiries to the space wasp I think.

It's common belief among some PEELers that the as-yet unaired episode The Sting might at least contain a mention of the old crew. In this case, it is space bees, rather than a space wasp, but you never know...

The former crew was eaten by a space wasp (look at the label on Farnsworth's envelope that holds the career chips).

Well I know one: Captain Musky or Muscy. It was given in "A clone of my own" when Bender introduced him as the most alive friend of Prof Farnsworth. He was dead, but it looked like he wasn't eaten by a space wasp, because his body looked "good".

He wasn't dead, just completely paralysed and only able to communicate through beeping.

I think it's been strongly implied that the Professor has been through several crews; the one eaten the space wasp was just the last one before Fry and company came along. Murky/Musky (I don't remember his name either) might or might not have been part of this crew.

I don't think cpt. musky was dead. It's a reference to 2001:a space oddesy, i think, (and im sure that most people already figured that out), but without having seen the movie, i wouldn't know whether the person (in the movie) in the big cart-thing was meant to be alive or dead.

mind you, looking at him, he may have been partially digested by the space-wasp. But, again, the guy in the movie probably looked like that. it's just meaningless, really, just an excuse to refer to 2001:ASO

Everyone mentions the wasps, but nobody talked about that poor bugger who got carried off by that giant bird (yes, it was on the commercial, but Farnsworth's delivery of his line of denial pretty much makes it clear that it really happened-and the hatchlings he was raising in the back clinched it).

good point, but unless it comes up in a new episode, we shall probably never know...
