I think it's safe to say that I like Futurama a lot more than most people do. My roomate and friends tolerate it when I want to watch it with them sometimes, but I definitely get more of a kick out of it then they do. One of the main reasons that I enjoy the show is the fact that it's set in New New York, the city built on a giant superstructure over the ashes of the New York more familiar to me. Every now and then, the writers toss in a New York joke a propos of nothing (see above).
FYI, the reference is to one-term former mayor David Dinkins. I am unaware of any breakfast confection preferences he may have.
My favorite is "Famous Original Ray's Superior Court"

I can't wait for the new episodes!
oh no no, do not fear, there are others out there. I am unabashedly in love with this show, and it has nothing to do with NYC. I'm pretty sure i can quote the entire Beck episode verbatim.
Oh man, that Beck episode is great. Unfortunately, it hasn't been on Adult Swim for ages.
Thankfully, evil bootleggers have released all the official and unofficial episodes in one convenient (and attractive) 8 DVD set.
