Pick your sport then open the doors, but don't forget a condom, or two...

Think big TNUK, you'll be scoring with much more than just two! Those are for the ones you really don't want anything more to do with further down the line...

Here is a comparison of Season 6 ratings from PEEL (x axis) and CGEF (y axis). The red line indicates both PEEL and CGEF ratings being identical. As you can see, most of the episode ratings are fairly close between the two systems, however CGEF voters like The Silence of the Clamps much more than PEEL voters do, while PEEL voters like Yo Leela Leela much more than CGEF voters do. The result is that The Silence of the Clamps is only about one rating point better than Yo Leela Leela on PEEL, but four and a half rating points better on CGEF. Click on image for full-sized graph.

It did give me a graph boner, but the JPEG artefacts kills any boner.

Nice graph, but to think that Peel likes Holiday Craptacular and Yo Leela Leela more. I thought Peel had taste ...

The real surprise to me was the difference in opinion between the two sites regarding The Silence Of the Clamps. 5th-worst episode of Season 6 so far at PEEL, but one of the top-rated episodes of Season 6 at CGEF.
Yeah that is kinda odd, especially as CGEF ranks it above Möbius Dick. Speaking of which, where is Möbius Dick?...

I'm viewing this thread on the mobile site...I can't see the graphs, and they sound so good that I'm excited to go onto a computer and view them with my own eyes.

^ditto. I am tempted to copy the link by hand in the browser so I can see them full scale! In fact, yes I think I will do that! Thanks for the comparisons and very nice work, Mongo! It's times like this I really appreciate all the badass fans here On the topic of montages that were brought up a page or so back, I felt the one in The Tip of the Zoidberg was a bit weak. I liked the music chosen, but it had like only barely 3 scenes for it...and they weren't that great. To me their best montages are ones that evoke great emotion, like in Jurassic Bark.

The new graph is really interesting and well laid out. Some of the variations between here and CGEF are plain odd, but it seems to me that the very best and very worst eps are mainly on Peel's side... I expect updates when the new eps air ...

Well TLPJF had them, plenty of them, but perhaps Season 6 has less overall (so far) yes ...

A bit unrelated, but I've noticed what the show is missing moments that leave a lump in your throat or a moments that make you go "Aaw". Like moments in Jurassic Bark, The Luck of the Fryrish or that moment between Fry and Leela at the end of The Sting. I sort of miss these moments.
...or maybe I just can't remember.
This is true. The last episode that gave me the warm-and-fuzzies (in a good way) was probably "The Late Philip J. Fry"--though there were a few sweet moments in "The Mutants are Revolting," I guess. But yeah, other than TLPJF and "Lethal Inspection," there haven't been any real, make-ya-cry emotional moments or episodes this season. That's not a bad thing, necessarily (seasons one and two were more or less lacking in this respect; seasons three and four were decidedly more downer-y or resonant or what have you), but I'm certainly hoping that "Overclockwise" has some tearjerkiness going for it.

I think I know what you mean, Futurama feels quite different now. It's still Futurama, but it's just, different. Having said that I think that Möbius Dick was more in the old style and feel, at least to me. Maybe that's partly why I liked it so much. It seemed quite upper-tier Season 4ish...

They already did visit San Francisco in Bendin' In The Wind. Also, as awesome as Tokyo would be for them to visit, they at least went to Kyoto in Crimes of the Hot. I don't want them visiting London after having witnessed the terrible English jokes in All The Presidents Heads. Those other places you mentioned would be interesting, and I agree that more of our own solar system should be explored too...

True, but those visits were so brief they really didn't count. I think a visit to the Marianas Trench would be interesting, as they would be exploring the really deep sea with black smokers and tube worms and wotnot, so it wouldn't be too much like Deep South. (Though it does seem too similar to an idea i had about them exploring under Europa's ice shelf.) I think a London episode would be great, if they actually got British voice actors (Joanna Lumley, Ben Whishaw, Jane Horricks, Helena Bonham Carter, Bill Bailey, Tamsin Grieg or so) for the characters. I really don't get how they know the Underground is called "the tube" but couldn't grasp the idea that no one in England actually speaks like that. I'm the only person who calls anyone "duckie" and that's only when I talk to a friend whose last name is "duck." Tokyo begs an exploration, because well... it's the closest thing we have to NNY today! Imagine what Tokyo in a thousand years is going to look like. They probably will keep space goldfishes from Wazn as pets and fairground prizes.

You've clearly been putting a lot of thought into this, I like the ideas, but I would still be very worried about the prospect of London in Futurama due to the stereotypical jokes which would likely result. It’s almost asking for it to happen with the tea thing, it would be a very thin line, very ...
