I didn't like this episode. I chuckled a few times throughout, but I wasn't laughing and that is a HUGE red flag for me. I felt that this episode was hitting the same point throughout and never evolved the joke. I liked the overly complex story that was being woven that poked fun at the stories that do this, but I

With Simpsons stock footage level of accuracy.

I like when Futurama goes all genre for an episode, and I think it's to the credit of the series that it didn't do it all the time and was deft enough to cover a wide range of genres. However I always loved it when Futurama put its spin on the modernday sitcom. The work sitcom, the roomate sitcom, the romcom, etc.

You got me picturing Mad Men in space. It seems like a strangely compelling show.

Hey sexy mama… wanna kill all the humans?

Me, I care. I care about all these drawings more than most real people.

I think adding time before any time noun or time verb automatically makes it funny.

Anyone else notice that during the past you never see Grunkle Stan's face? He just keeps his back to the camera the whole time.

You shut your time mouth!

Exactly what my point of reference was.

I think it's safe to say that anything involving Futurama is never done "for ratings." The crossover is such a cliche now I don't think any producer would ever consider doing it as straight as it used to be. It's funny how The Simpsons could be involved with both kinds of crossovers. I'm confident enough in my

So that's why I blocked out my teen years and not because I was your typical awkward loser in high-school that go pick on.

Are crossovers the same as the were back in the 60's-80's? I think the T.V. landscape has changed significantly from that time and I think the interaction between T.V., production, and viewer has changed. I think back in the day it was more of a money grab and less of a fan service. What do you guys think?

There is a distinct shift from what The Simpsons were before season 20 and after season 20. I like what The Simpsons is now, but it does have its problem (such as Mr. Perkins usually points out as the-lazy-reference-as-a-joke joke.) As a whole I would say post season 20 is much stronger than seasons 14-19.

Yes, more hedonism-bot! Nothing is bad when it includes him.

An A+!? Okay, gotta check this out. I'm always on the look out for original animated series.

Who cares about continuity when that episode is just so good.

I've always loved this series, but strangely I've never been able to binge watch this show like I have with The Simpsons. The dense nature of the show, or the dark undertones might be the cause of that.

Are you kidding with these South Park reviews? I haven't seen a reviewer miss so many of a shows subtitles since A.V Club hired that idiot who did the classic reviews for South Park. Five paragraphs and over half of it being personal opinion is not a review; is it to much to ask for some theory in these reviews, or

I don't get why Universal is trying to turn their monster movies into big budget action movies. The classic horror movies were about tone and characters facing the super natural with their limited understand of how it works. By turning it into a CGI action fest it strips away anything that made them good, let-alone
