Wait, was it actually a staff member's kid's idea? Ugh. That fact alone just made it worse for me. Me too, it's like they couldn't be bothered to come up with 26 episode ideas for the Season 6 production run, so they started asking their kids. No wonder shit like this happens  ...

I think I mentioned that my half-brother is 4 and my half-sister is 1, so I'm pretty much used to watching baby/kid's TV shows, and I know where the writers are coming from, but it still just didn't feel right.
What I'm trying to say is, even if you do watch baby/kid's TV shows, YLL still sucks.
And I'm not saying I watch them, but I've seen them so many times due to their ages, so yeah...
Actually, you ARE saying you watch them. After all, you said earlier in that post: I'm pretty much used to watching baby/kid's TV shows, Eh, I don't know that it was a huge mistake, per se. It was a mistake, but it's not like it'll haunt the show for the rest of its days. We'll just pack up and move on to the world of tomorrooooow.
And then complain about the next mistake.

I'd heard that too, Scrappylive, and I agree. Just because you've changed doesn't necessarily mean that your fanbase has changed - or, if it has changed, that it wants your show to change. Did that make sense?
Quite. In fact, I think you explained it better than I did. I think I mentioned that my half-brother is 4 and my half-sister is 1, so I'm pretty much used to watching baby/kid's TV shows, and I know where the writers are coming from, but it still just didn't feel right.

He meant he doesn't watch them for himself (or anymore at all for that matter), as opposed to watching/seeing it simply because his sister had it on. There is a difference.

Correct. Fnord, you're kind of a dick.

When do you get time to feed that high horse of yours?

I don't get what is so bad about "Yo Leela Leela". I thought it was a fun ride. I quite enjoyed it. It wasn't the essence of Futurama, but it wasn't a massacre either.
If you're going to bash "Yo Leela Leela", at least provide specific examples in the episode that made it so bad. I enjoyed the bad actions-good consequences ending. Did you have a problem with that?

The fact that the whole episode bashed TV shows was really cheap. Maybe if it focused less on the corniness of the show and more on Leela being famous (That would also have to be improved ), the episode would be a whole lot better. Oh well...
I didn't once see that as bashing. I thought "Rumbledy-Hump" was just a friendly parody of "Yo Gabba Gabba". Though the joke about "Dora the Destroyer" was kind-of cliche and not very funny. It really was a light satire on children's television. Episodes that focus on show business are never very popular with nerdlingers (is that the accepted term now? I remember it was used to describe fans other than of Futurama...). Just look at "That's Lobstertainment!". I thought that "Yo Leela Leela was a bit better than that, and the former wasn't a total lost (though it really wasn't entertaining). Maybe you're embarrassed by your childhood interests? Or maybe you were just that irritated by the Lady Gaga fame-whore quote?

Correct.
Then you should have said that. Fnord, you're kind of a dick.

I don't. Warren Buffett does it for me.

I can't wait until new episode titles are announced on the copyright database
They aren't 'announced' on there, they are just added to the database and we find them... I would stop watching.
Some fan you are.
