So not reading all the others, I can't be bothered, but I really enjoyed this. It had more of the futurama feel to it, the only thing I thought it fell short on was the voice acting. Morbo and Kif both sounded very different, but I can understand Maurice maybe taking a while to get back into the swing of things, it didn't affect any of my enjoyment. It had some funny jokes, but also a little more of the geeky stuff which I enjoyed, plus they managed to carry out the Amy and Bender thing a lot better than I thought they would. It wasn't squicky, it was funny and watchable, which was something I was initially a little worried about. Also the ending I thought was perfect. After what seems to have been hit and miss in most peoples opinions, it had all the classic futurama, with bender not being good with the monogamy, kif coming back, so it was well rounded and enjoyable. I liked the twist with the professor having been with a robot, the hint at Hermes wanting to legalise the good stuff, and Space Massachusetts. All around, I'd give it an 8/10

I'll admit that I laughed more during this episode than the other new ones (and I was pleased at the background jokes), but there were a number of jokes that felt too, well, silly (such as Amy cutting Zoidberg open or everyone being inside the dummy); that may be a stupid thing to complain about since this is a cartoon and a crazy sci-fi one at that, but still something seemed off about these.
Also, despite the laughter I can't say I really liked the episode. It's clear that the initial reaction to Futurama episodes can't always be trusted forever, but I felt that this episode jerked us around, gave us a pleasant-enough-but-not-especially-clever message, and wasn't particularly kind to Kif, Amy, Bender, or the Professor. I agree with those who were confused by the Professor's stance and upset by his weird and strangely quick revelations (although I did get a strong "Crimes of the Hot" vibe from him being stubborn at first and then freeing his long-held guilt by revealing that he once was part of the problem). I wasn't really thrilled by the plot summary of this episode in the first place, but I still was disappointed. Perhaps in time I'll like this episode more, and I am still looking forward to the rest of the season.

Bender's Inhibition unit is in his head, and magnets placed elsewhere on his casing do not affect it, as evidenced by the Flexo disguise (chin), bowtie (chin/neck), and other items that Bender has had near to his head over the course of the series. The magnetic can opener snagged him by the top of the head, and he sang "Jimmy crack corn" as it carved him apart. In conclusion, you don't pay enough attention and need to watch ALL episodes, taking notes, before you post any more nitpicks. GOOD DAY, SIR. Less douchenozzley enough for ya, idiot?

" Back when I was filled with piss and vinegar and my bed wasn't..."
I was going to point out that line if somebody else didn't. Classic Farnsworthism. As for the rest of the episode...eh, s'ok. I just didn't buy the Amy/Bender thing. Seemed out of left field. I'll give it a 7, rounded up from a 6.5.

Oh ffs! I cannot believe how many times we have been over his inhibition unit. What about the beard in "Bendless Love"? What about the bowtie in "A Flight to Remember"?
Conclusion: ONLY on his head.
Could you try that again without bein such a douche nozzle?
Not on this matter, no. A simple search on 'inhibition unit' would yield hundreds of results. When people keep bringing it up, it gets kinda annoying. Just sayin'.

An average episode, which I think is a major accomplishment; we're back to the mean people! I was afraid the robosexuality topic would be too preachy, and maybe it was, but it was still pretty funny. Others have complained about the randomness of Farnsworth having a robot love, or Amy or Kif's breakup, but that stuff did happen quite a bit in the original run, and wasn't too out of character.
Nice point. To be honest, I think this episode would have been suited for the original run, and the main reason it gets low points on CGEF (67%, though it was up at 75 earlier) is because people are prepare to loathe the new run. Also, I don't mind "preachy" episodes, they've been done before and I don't feel they're out of place. We have episodes like A Big Piece of Garbage and Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV and now Proposition Infinity, they all touch subjects very obviously, but they're still great. Sure, in fifteen years people won't remember what Prop 8 was (and outside of USA people generally don't know now), but there will always be controversy against homosexuality, at least in the next hundred years. And then I'm sure there will be some other sexuality (robosexuality?). The episode is no more preachy than previous "preachy" episodes, and they've never been overly preachy imo, even though the point of the episode is fairly obvious.
