Well I don't. The worst stories ever created are when it turns out to be a dream.
I know The Sting wasn't ALL a dream, but hopefully you catch my drift.

Your points have been well seen. The Sting is actually pretty good.
The worst stories ever created are when it turns out to be a dream. With an exception of The Sting.

There is a difference between a storyline and an ending. How the heck could you deny a really good storyline even if the ending isn't what you wanted?
The short answer is, I couldn't...

It's quite simple really.
The people reviewing the monster fun dvd will have most likely only watched those 4 episodes.
Yes, The Sting rocks.. but to enjoy it, I think you need to have watched a fair amount of the series first (particularly the shippy eps) to actually care about Fry dying and Leela's reactions. Oh, and not getting a freaking spoiler hepls.
I like the shippy, but The Sting is far from my favourite (Parasites Lost). I can't quite remember why at the momement. I'm too drunk and tired.

No, I guess they're not an issue anymore. Don't mind me . I was just mentioning that it's probably the most spoilable epsode of them all. I hit a few spoilers before watching it, biut thankfully nothing that killed the ending.

"It was all a dream" usually feels like a cop-out because it's done lazily. In some cases they'll even do it at the last minute if they've written themselves into a corner (for instance, on the show "Dallas", they killed off a character but the show started to dip in ratings after they killed him off, so they had one character wake up and find that character still alive in the shower, with the whole previous season being a dream).
It's not really a problem with "The Sting" because it actually makes sense; Fry's dialogue was often him trying to wake Leela up. It's also really emotionally well done, including the ending itself. Not my absolute favorite episode, but it's up there, and ironically I actually like it a lot more now then when I first watched it.
On the other hand, I didn't care for the ending of "Obsolutely Fabulous", because it came too soon after, plus the storyline in general wasn't all that riveting. Still a decent episode though.

On Broadcast, aka "Fox's Stupid Lineup", it was The Sting at S05E09 and Obsolutely Fabulous was not until S05E14. Parabox, 300, Spanish, and Bend Her were in between.
This was my top episodes from a few months ago... My Top 1011 Episodes 11. Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles 10. Bendin' in the Wind 9. Where No Fan Has Gone Before 8. Luck of the Fryish 7. Godfellas 6. Anthology of Interest II 5. Hell is Other Robots 4. Roswell That Ends Well 3. The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings 2. Jurassic Bark 1. The Sting
Right now, the order is... 11. Anthology of Interst I 10. Time Keeps on Slippin' 9. The Luck of the Fryish 8. Anthology of Interest II 7. Bendin' in the Wind 6. Jurassic Bark 5. Hell is Other Robots 4. Roswell That Ends Well 3. Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles 2. The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings 1. The Sting
So, The Sting is still on top for me, so I'd disagree with the Amazon.com'ers. On IMDB and other sites, they're almost all FG fanboys/girls and Futurama haters, so I wouldn't take this too seriously.
