Again, quite a few, almost the whole series besides most of the last season. I don't see how my disliking of SMFP has anything to do with the amount of episodes I've seen?  :p

If you watch the episodes, it's easier to rate and compare episodes to each other, moron.  :rolleyes:

Okay, thanks. I still need to catch up on some Futurama episodes. I'm not nearly as experienced as some of our other PEELers.

I originally gave it a very forgiving 6/10, but after a while, I've realized that it only deserves a 5/10, if not less.
You know a three part episode is terrible when only one of those three segments made you sort of, kind of laugh. The first two segments are, in my opinion, some of the stupidest things the show has ever done. Every joke had either been done many times before, simply fell flat, or was beaten to death by repetition .The G.I. Zapp part was actually somewhat enjoyable, thanks to Nixon's humorous voiceovers. Sadly, some other people on here (Not Me) thought his voiceovers began to wear thin, comedy wise, causing this episode to become even more unbearable.

Here's how I'd rate it by acts, or segments;
Bendee Boo- 4/10
Purpleberry Pond- 2/10 (Not even those healthy purple berries could save this segment  :()
G.I. Zapp- 7/10

I'm very happy this didn't end up being 7ACV25, as was originally planned. It would have hated to have left the series with such a sour taste in my mouth.

 I hate it when an episode is so bad that it gets less than a 7/10, because I know that this is a truly outstanding show, and it makes me very disappointed when such a classic program makes crappy episodes such as this one, because I'm sure that they could've do better. :hmpf:

Yeah, that would suck.

I always considered this one mostly fun, mostly cause the stories weren't equally good, but overall it's quite an enjoyable ep, a 6/10 from me.

I remember considering Bendie Boo! and the Mystery Crew my favourite but now I see it's avarage, but saved by a few great parts like intro, the door gag, another Ohio Express Song. My mine gripe with this segment and also the entire episode is they should make Reincarnation II and parody a general style, but here the creators clinged to specific cartoons and parodied them. With Reincarnation the jokes are rich, like in the Fleischer style cartoon they can have many references from Fleischer, to Disney and Betty Boop, here they are limited to Scooby Doo. It's a tricky one cause it felt too much like some Scooby Doo clone with some referential jokes. Anyway, it's funny enough to enjoy it. Loved the dark humor ending with Zoidberg's head... but the casting was not perfect. Hermes was Fred because they needed someone as Fred but no one from PE really matched. Teenage Leela with glasses/braces should be Velma and Amy would be better as Daphne. 7/10

Purpleberry Pond - I admit I skipped this one after first Professor/Zoidy scene. It's the same joke all over again and another example of childish Futurama shit like Yo Leela Leela and The Prince and the Product. Why they are still making this? It's made for their children or what? Anyway, the only redeeming parts are the Professor and Zoidberg scenes, despite them being the same scene but in different context. So if this is unwatchable then deserves a 2/10 or less.

G.I. Zapp - that one grew up on me. It's funny Zapp-antics episode with classic Zapp moves like "I forgot my parachute so borrowed yours, Kiff". What really elevated the story was Nixon's censorship. So many GREAT jokes. Beam me up, Scotty! Bloe them straight to church! Patriotic peacekeepers who rebuild schools with their bullet-sucking vacuum tanks! Bastards! It's okay if I say it! Love it, still it ends abruptly and the PSA with Dwight and Cubert is pretty random. Meh ending to great segment, 9/10

I almost forgot it had a framing story with Nixon and Agnew watching cartoons. Nothing that really elevated this anthology most of the time, but when it got to G.I. Zapp - it was brilliant! Generally speaking it could have been a good anthology ep, but was dragged down by Purpleberry Pond - a little, it was the shortest one at least!

I always considered this one mostly fun, mostly cause the stories weren't equally good, but overall it's quite an enjoyable ep, a 6/10 from me ;)

This is my biggest gripe about this episode. Nibbler should have been Fred. Not only does Nibbler often fall into a leadership role when he takes an active role in an episode, but he and Fred are both voiced by Frank Welker.
