I thought it was a funny episode. Not a great one, but still pretty good. The car-shopping scene was funny, especially when Victor and Malfunctioning Eddie were dancing, and then Eddie exploded. I want a Ford ThunderCougarFalconBird. The Fry/Amy relationship sequence was pretty good (Heehee! They think we're making out! Why aren't we?). I was not impressed with the whole break-up part, although Zoidberg had some great moments (Here, you drive). I thought that the relation should could last an episode or two more. Bender's subplot was pretty good (Beep beepbeep beep . . . beep), and the date scene was pretty good, especially the sequence where Gary(?) was about to take Amy home. Leela to the rescue I enjoyed, and Zoidberg's closing line was good. All in all, an episode with plenty of laughs, but no knee-slappers.

Pretty good episode. Not topnotch, but deffinately a keeper. A slow start, although the carsalesman was pretty funny with all his talk about eagles. The Amy/Fry relationship was a good idea. Too bad they didn't run along with that, maybe stretched it a few episodes. Amy and Fry is defiantely the two people who could talk about "junk and stuff".
Once the carcrash happens though things pick up. Fry's head on Amy's body did open up a big can of jokes. Espicially the talk in the supplies-closet and the Valentinsday-dinner was great and funny. It was also great to see the friendship between Fry and Leela, when she came in to rescue him from a "night to remember". Good work.
Leela, although very much in the background was also done well. Her scenes with Bender was the best of them, but would she really ve the one who would come with him to the trial?
Bender. He had some good oneliners, but most of his part was either not interesting, or solely for the purpose of suporting the other story-parts. His presentation of the dates he found for Fry and Amy was OTOH very funny.
Zoidberg, he was hillarious. Both his oneliners and the way he acted. The dorsal-fin and the Europa part being the best.
Hermes and Farnsworth, well they were also there, but very forgetable.
What more to say? I like the part where Amy sang when Fry wanted a private conversation. The references to the Zapper was also good. The 2001-monolith was a very good homage. I liked the name "HG´s Fuel" (Hg is the chemical symbol of mercury). The Zappers guestpart was also a keeper. The music they heard on Mercury was great.
To sum up: Very good, let's call it a 8

I saw it when it 1st aired a long time ago, & I remember it being one of the funniest I ever saw. I like it when they concentrate on 2 characters instead of 100.

As I said in another thread, DAMN YOU BASEBALL! As a silver lining, though, I did get to see Iron Chef. Still . . .

Another one of my favorites. So much of Zoidberg's humor is in what he does, not what he says and the way he does it. I really want to see him eat Nibbler, by the way.

Absolutely my favorite. So many things happening, so many memorable lines...
After Fry and Amy admit they spent a night together: Professor: "Do I hear wedding bells?!" Fry: "What? NO!" Professor (alarmingly slapping his ear): "Really? Oh, dear..."
Fry: "I'm not a one-woman man, Leela..." Leela (reasuringly): "You'll be back to zero soon enough."
Fry: "Face it: I'm a prize catch! <mixture between burb and hiccup> I mean, I'm pulling down deliveryboy money!"

Bumping for the Random Order test...
My favorite out of the three for the test. First act was good, and the car dealership scenes were enjoyable. Then the Fry-Amy pairing kicks in. I did like their pairing, but I'm also glad it was just a one-time thing.
The episode becomes more interesting after the car crash, when Fry's head gets stitched to Amy's body. Bender's dating service also comes up, and it's actually one of the best parts of the episode. Got some great lines from the old Zapper, too.
Then we get to the actual dates, at Elzar's restaurant. Some nice cameo shots here, and it was entertaining to see the match-ups: Leela getting Sal, Amy getting that banker, Fry getting Petunia, and Zapp getting...some tranny. I enjoyed seeing Leela save Fry from having to experience...well, you know what. Then, we get a nice ending, with Bender's exploding ass and everything going back to normal.
Overall, a perfect Valentine's Day episode, and a great episode altogether. 9.5/10. Just waiting for a poll to be added...

Only part that bothers me is that they suddenly made Fry such a colossal jerk so they could break him and Amy up. I think they realized that Amy and Fry go together too well, and there was no real reason their relationship should end, except for reset buttons and the Fry Leela arc. That's actually quite a smart observation. I never really noticed that before, but the more I think about it, the more I agree. I think Fry becoming a jerk all of a sudden doesn't pull down his likability because he exaggerates and because his criticisms don't make any sense at all. So all in all, I think they pulled it off pretty well... doesn't change though that they had to rely on an unrealistic event in order to change things back to what they were like before. It would be interesting though if they maintained a relationship such as this one for a couple of episodes instead of breaking it of immediately. And poor old Amy getting cockblocked by Leela. (Is that the right word? Or is it only cockblocked if it happens to a guy? I don't think vaginablocked really works.)
It exists though: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=vaginablockedI agree that "cockblock" rolls of the tongue more easily than "vaginablock". But how about "clam jam"?
