I found it kinda.....disturbing. I thought it would be more funny, but I was kinda left a bit uncomfortable at the end. A little depressing, don't you think?

Great episode. Loved the song. And of course a great X-mas message.

i thought it was marginally good. there were some funny lines in there. the best was when Leela was explaining to the professor not to shoot Bender-"clause". Then he kept shooting him.

In a perfect world, this episode would replace "Charlie Brown Christmas" as the show every young impressionable mind watches every holiday season... All the better to warp them forever! Bwah ha ha ha!

Would someone be so kind as to tell me exactly WHEN THE F&*% WAS THIS ON?????

Fox here (Pittsburgh) ran back to back episodes of that atrocity King of the Hill, followed by a rerun of the Simpsons, then malcolm, then whatever.

Was anyone else kind of sitting there dumbfounded when the parental advisory came on at the very beginning? I wasn't sure if it was a joke or not (now I know). A true X-Mas classic.

Leela: The pollution from the factory has created a greenhouse effect.

Elf: That would explain this heat.

Fry: And your breezy short-shorts.

Elf (hand in hand with a "companion"): Yeah...that would explain it (eyes shifting suspiciously)

Hey folks, was this the in infamous "never been shown" Futurama Christmas episode, or the one from I believe the 1st season. We don't get Futurama here any more. I did see the first one, but I understood there was another christmas episode that seemed to be a bit too much for the big boys. I would LOVE to see this. What was the episode called?

At least the second showing. Unless they're on their third run through now.
