Correct me if I'm wrong, but The Dark One was voiced by Billy West, whereas Pickles was voiced by David Herman. I'm almost positive they're both David Herman.

What sort of proof is that? Some huge number?

I like how we got to see him for the first time out of uniform. He looked quite different to me than expected.
Does mean all robots can take off their uniforms then? I never really thought about it, I thought they were built like that.
Url wearing "streets" was obviously a joke poking fun at Url being a robot built to be a police officer, and yet he's somehow able to change his body when he goes off-duty. Also, what Url was wearing is obviously an homage to Samuel L Jackson (Google him and check out the most popular pics of him), whom Url's personality was largely based upon. If Zapp Brannigan is "half James T Kirk and half actual William Shatner", then Url is probably "half John Shaft and half Samuel L Jackson".

Awesome episode. Great callback to the first episode with Fry making pizza delivery to the Crygenics company, Leela's former co-workers and Url and Smitty. Is Smitty really gone? It was greta to finally see some more development with Url This episode is just like my fanfic NNYPD No Clue. I wrote it years ago http://www.futurama-madhouse.net/fanfic/nnypdnoclue1.shtmlit also has Fry, along with Leela and Bender becoming cops. Also, bullets can kill Bender? In Bendfellas, we see a robot get like a ton of bullets shot at him by the Robot Mafia and it walked away fine. Bender's a robot, so why would he need a bullet proof vest?

Solid episode, but the whole pizza thing was odd... If I make a prank pizza call and have the pizza delivered to my house, then laugh in the pizza guys face, I'm pretty sure I would have to pay for it anyway... making the prank utterly pointless.
I found it very interesting how capable Fry was as a police officer. Not a complaint, just sorta funny.

The joke was that it was a re-make of the Cold Opening from the Pilot...

Yeah that was obvious, doesn't make the prank thing any less odd.

Sometimes a cartoon is just a cartoon, and the rule of funny goes above all else. For the same reason, Fry doesn't die when he's run over by a bus.

A pizza delivery boy can't make anyone pay for a pizza , even if someone was dumb enough to prank call a pizza to themself, like in this episode. The customer has the right to refuse payment for all sorts of reasons, such as if it arrives late or cold or it isn't what they ordered, or if they didn't order a pizza at all. The worst that could happen is that the pizza place could "blacklist" you and not deliver to your address and/or phone number anymore. But that would be rare, especially if you're a frequent customer. Sometimes a cartoon is just a cartoon, and the rule of funny goes above all else. For the same reason, Fry doesn't die when he's run over by a bus.
Fry was hit by a hover bus, he wasn't run over by a wheeled bus, which makes a small difference. Also, Fry has survived much worse.

Fry having survived much worse really only strengthens my original point.

This was only an okay episode. It had some funny parts, but it kinda bothered me how Fry had to switch jobs to facilitate this episode's plot. (I mentioned that in the review thread for All The Presidents' Heads as well.)
Fry and Url made a great crime-fighting duo -- although it seemed strange to see Fry portrayed as a super-cop hero, like that light cycle stunt. I like Fry better when he tries to be the hero, but messes up, like when he rode the Scooty Puff Jr. in The Why of Fry, or wore his jetback upside-down in The Sting. That's when Fry is at his funniest, and why I thought Fry was kinda out of character in this episode -- but I understand why.
I read another's comment about Roberto. I agree that I was disappointed that Roberto didn't use his stabbing catch phrase when he stabbed Dr. Zoidberg.
The meta-joke about executive producers and Fry being promoted to "Executive Delivery Boy" was kinda a soft ending.

I thought this was a great episode. The references to today were completely tolerable, Circuit City was fantastic and (surprisingly) didn't bug me as much as I initially thought it would. I got a great kick out of Schrodinger's Cat bit, as it was a great and clever play on both the person they arrested and his attempt to get them to not look in the box.
I'm mixed on the chief. On one hand I found her hilarious and her lines great, at other times I felt it was just a bit too much, if that makes sense? However, URL's monologue about him and the chief, in which you realize he was the submissive one in it got a chortle out of me. I also just liked the extensive use of the character in this episode. Some great lines and delivery from him.
The Future Divison may have been a reference to a modern age movie, but it was done well and Pickles was laugh worthy. I also loved the interaction between the LEO's and the display images. Especially when Fry is rewinding and URL joins in, funny stuff.
I do feel bad for Fry though, he was actually a darn good cop...by Futurama standards anyways. It was kinda nice to see this guy excel at something.

Law and Oracle is still one of my favourites from 6B. The plot sounds pretty dumb and Simpsons-y on paper, but they executed it brilliantly. What I liked: -The circuit city segment. The animation was superb. -The Chief. She's a really strange character, and I mean that in the best way possible. -URL. They used him so well, and he made a great partner for Fry. -The awkwardness between Leela and Bender. "So... you're a robot?" -Amy impersonating the Professor. -HedonismBot wasn't just randomly thrown in there like they usually did with him in 6A. He actually had a good role here. -Bender spraying the whipped cream on Fry's visor. -I loved the part where Bender smacks the dog with the steak, and then goes on to eat it. (The steak that is. ) -The Avatar references. I'm not the biggest fan of Avatar, but I liked how they were mostly making fun of 3D rather than the movie. I don't think this part of the episode will start feeling dated, because it's funny even if you haven't seen it. What I didn't like: -The gag where they threw the lightsabres into the air... it seemed so... predictable and unfunny. -I wasn't really a huge fan of the SP3K callback. It seemed a bit forced. "You stink loser" isn't something Zoidberg would normally say. Also, I don't buy the fact that Planet Express has been delivering a pizza every week for ten years. I thought they only just made their 100th delivery? Anyway, this a great episode. 9/10 from me.

-The Chief. She's a really strange character, and I mean that in the best way possible.
A pity they didn't get Leslie Easterbrook to voice her. Maybe they should have checked before which of the Police Academy actors they could get for voice acting, and then model the chief after him/her.
