I'm mixed on this episode. Part of me is very very pleased with it, but then part of me felt that it was overall meh because they just kept continually going forward and time and didn't really stop and take in these new periods. I enjoyed the time traveling song. The best part was the retrospective shots of previous episodes. I saw Space Pilot 3000, Love's Labours Lost in Space, Future Stock, A Taste of Freedom, Beast With A Billion Backs, and Attack of the Killer App. I was very impressed. i could nitpick to infinity, but that'd be stupid. imo, that was as good as 'jurassic bark', 'roswell that ends well', and 'luck of the fryrish', if not better. No way that was better than any of those episodes. There wasn't as much of an emotional impact as Bark or Fryish, and the plot didn't settle down like the other three.

Well done. Glad to see that Fry's tardiness wasn't due to him being completely delinquent, as I've seen well enough of that in the past. Nice callbacks to "I Second That Emotion" (birthdays), "Bender's Big Score" (time travel paradoxes), and others that escape my mind at the moment. If any of Fry, Bender or Farnsworth could read Alienese, they'd have fished the book "Backwards Time Travel Made Easy" out of the bonfire in the year 10,000.

Out-freaking-standing! Easily one of top 10 best episode's ever. Funny throughout the entire thing, touching and clever. If especially loved the way they ended up solving the time travel problem. I actually guessed how they'd do it when they reached the point when all life was extinct because I saw an article a few months ago about a theory that the universe would eventually collapse back in on itself creating a second big bang.
The Planet of the Apes and Hitler jokes were priceless too.

The Eleanor Roosevelt follow-up was great, but then again, it would've been great at the end of the episode if they noted one small difference in time due to it. There were three instances where they changed time in those two universes!
They kinda did, with the, "Would you like any more meatloaf" line by the waiter. Anyway, loved the ep. 10/10.

I'm rewatching this episode right now, because the first time I watched it with my brother and a friend, which meant I couldn't quite focus on it as much as I wanted to. My first impression, though, was that this episode was touching and inspired and there were some excellent gags (I loved the nod to "Roswell That Ends Well", the Eleanor Roosevelt thing, and Leela having a date with "some idiot")--but it was by no means the funniest episode of the season or the series. The heart and the story itself make up for what's lacking in the humor department, though.
Initial rating: 8/10, but that's liable to change (probably for the better) in about, oh, 22 minutes.
