Well this is the first episode in a while that had me laughin throught the entire episode. I have only seen it once so this is a first impressions review. I think that this is one of the better of season 4. I personally like the quick humor better than special effectrs. Granted some of the 80 jokes were unnecessary, but overall i give it a B+. And is it just me or did scruffy's voice sound different, calculons too - maybe i am just too happy to see a new episode. This also looks like a great episode to get trivia references - there were a lot of things written on bilboards or tickers that i havent had a chance to go back and read. Ok - i have ranted enough - its the next persons turn

O.K. I had to watch this one twice before I gave a review. One of the funniest lines..Fry was talking to Mom and she yelled "Shut up bogger blaster!" I don't know what it was but that was hillarious. That and the bit about Safty Dance.. "You know that song itsn't as safe as they say it is" and that guy going "dun duh da da dun da da dun dah.." What was that guy's name? I think he was just known as "That Guy." LOL

It was ok..ive only seen it once and i missed some of it..(great Laker game) So i will refrain from making a full review untill ive seen it again! First impressions are leaving me with a "meh" feeling about it but i shall hold out on judging it.

This ep cracked me up a lot . More than the other "season 4" ones. Scruffy talked a little to much, he works best with short little one line(word)ers. LIttle things like when the traffic stopped to let the pedestrians whip by make it feel more Futurama-ee, which im finding harder and harder to find. After first watch i gave it a 4. from billboard: Free In-Room Porn or Bible Hmmmmm tough choice

I liked it. Not brilliant but not bad either. For those of you who didn't know the original 1984 commercial (like me due to not seeing many american commercrials ), edel got a link: http://www.uriah.com/apple-qt/1984.html (loads slow). The "No shellfish!" "That's so unfair" "Tell me about it" had me laughing

Pat Buchanan, racist scary politician. One of the (many) big controversies of the 2000 election was the fact that a largely Jewish community seemed to have voted for Pat thinking it was Gore and complained the ballots were too confusing. I think that if their votes were changed Gore could have won... (not going to say anything more as to stop any pointless political debate)

...PETUNIA? Holy crap. I'm never too happy with "business-world" episodes, and this was no exception; it did, however, have a lot of good gags that (as many have already pointed out before) didn't mesh well together. I liked Calculon's bit, myself, and it's always good to get Fry back into his "Buck-Rogers-As-Time-Lost-Dork" mode, even if both the long-awaited Ape Fight and the "Safety Dance" bit were totally lamezilla. (A "Safety Dance" montage during Fry's tutelage would've been perfect--especially with the "you can leave your friends behind" line.) It was okay, not the best of the season but certainly not the worst; it just seemed to try to cram too much plot into too little time, and there are worse sins, oh my yes. I like many things about it IN SPITE OF THE FACT that two or three of those things put a little (non-fatal) crimp in the fanfic I'm (not) working on right now. I'm scared next week's ep will do something that blows it out of the damn water. ...PETUNIA? Someone really needs to catalog the minor character names! The late FuturamaOutlet.com taught me Leela's former boss' name was Ipji, and someone here told me the pig-snouted gilled sewer-mutant is named Violet. I can't even remember where I dug up Sal's name...

I didn't like this eps too much. Sure some pars were funny, mostly it just had me thinking 'where is it going?' I thought the funniest part was when 'That Guy' decided PE was going to take on 'Mom's Freindly Delivery Service'. Specificly When Fry Moons Mom's Tower, and she screams at her sons to retaliate: "Any button! They ALL retaliate!" (Thats not exact ) I think having Mom in the eps, is what saved it from being a complete bust. I liked the Boneitis Death, and the Tube crossing, but the rest seemed too FamilyGuy-ish, as stated above. As for the 'Fox -60' bit, It was funny and I liked it. /EDIT Oh yeah, The commercial was a let down and Calculons bit was .... meh. After he said his line I thoght 'what the hell was that?!' Besides didn't they already do that Planet of the apes reference in a previous eps? Not directly but after a delivery they all blamed Fry for ruining the delviery by saying it? I give it a C-. If it were any other show it get a D- so be happy I gave it C ------------------ Call me Erdrik --hvErdrik -[DRK]Erdrik -Erdrik

Originally posted by BrainSluggo: Oh, the tube-crossing! That was brilliant. I wish they'd do an action scene in the tubes sometime. The tubes are the most underused wild concept in the whole show. They've been basically nothing but eye-candy since Fry rode 'em in Space Pilot 3000. Thats a Great idea! could have the 'peace officers' chase Bender through them instead of the streets and they could get into a 'lightsaber club' deul in one. That be great!
