Bender's Big Score is legitimately one of my favorite Futuramas. So many great lines and a great plotline. It even added to the long list of Futurama episodes to make me tear up a little bit at the end.

I'm just not poor and stupid enough for you, CBS.

Oddly enough, this is supposed to be the LAST Bender-centric episode of the series (at least based on plot descriptions). The next five aren't very suggestive of Bender-heavy story lines.

Those guys also made the delightfully weird "Lasagna Cat" videos.

I got as far as "Bart the General" and already knew of a couple that were missing. Oh well.

Not even nearly as funny as this:

Workaholics is pretty okay. Occasionally, it can even border on genius. But, I definitely find it to be a lot weaker in comparison to Always Sunny (which, to be fair, is one of my very favorite shows and will be forever).

No joke, I find American Dad to be even worse than Family Guy. I didn't even think that was possible, but here we are. And Cleveland was somehow even worse than either of them.

This was always the part that got me about that scene. I'm not even against all rape jokes ever existing or whatever, but implying that if you're good enough at it the woman you're raping well eventually come to "like it" is just so godawfully offensive and not to mention kind of harmful to the predominantly teenage

From what I understand, there was an under-reported piece of this, which was that the crossover episode (as well as the one where Bleeding Gums dies) were both produced not by the usual Simpsons staff, but the staff over at The Critic, the reason being that they needed to keep the production staff there together and

Though "dumb, overweight" dad is a common trope, I find Peter in particular to be pretty uncomfortably close to Homer Simpson. Like, I have trouble thinking of how Peter would actually behave differently from Homer in any given situation. Sorry, but there's a reason people claim "rip off" with Family Guy and not

I kinda took the whole segment as just a parody of shameless product-plug 80s cartoons in general; influenced most by probably both Smurfs AND Shortcake, but also just parodying that whole genre (Transformers, Care Bears, My Little Pony, yadayadyada) of cartoons that had no other purpose except to sell shit to kids.

Yeah, one of my friends' homes almost burned down in CO (it ended up being okay, but she was "certain" for a few days they wouldn't find it there when they returned) and I didn't even think of that watching this. Fires are too common a thing to just not show TV episodes about them whenever they occur.

I could probably believe Bender as an arsonist fine, but the real issue I would have is that then there would be no story.

You realize just about EVERY season has been about 13/14 episodes, right? And that that's, like, the standard for television and all that? And also, that they've been doing the six-days to air thing since at least season 3 or 4?

Is this theater the Esquire? I loved going there. Used to hit up the midnight showings a lot, and would find out about some really good ones that I'd end up also going to.

Maybe the most annoying one to me is going to the Pixar movies every year or so and getting a million trailers for awful animated features (as if animated films for kids are the only thing I want to go see, apparently). I will always go to every Pixar film in a theater even as a grown-ass man, but the trailers for Ice

All day I am cumming at this news.

I humbly submit Ghostbusters II. Though the gang having to stop another supernatural terror wasn't so implausible (I mean, within the universe of the franchise), the fact that the characters had to start off back at square one after being essentially national heroes was just dumb and felt beyond forced. And worse, it

Like a few other people, I would say I'm a fan of the show, but am sort of in the same boat. I like the show, really enjoyed it when I finally watched through all of it (which was just last year), and look forward to watching the new episodes whenever I can get to it, but I'm just not -crazy- about it like the true
