Hahaha. Stupid flounders.

Not a bad episode in my opinion. It just ended, and I thought it was pretty excellent and funny. Although I do have a weakness for past/future episodes. :0)

It's been a pretty good season, at least I think so!

That was an awesome episode. The music was great too, it was all 80's music (I remember hearing Take on Me, Bizarre Love Triangle and much to my suprise Donald Fagen's awesome I.G.Y. which is a huge favorite of mine). Great episode, even if some of the jokes were a bit obvious (the Tivo reference specifically).

Very good. But can't believe Nelson got both Sherri and Terri pregnant.

The Sherri and Terri thing was hilariously disturbing.

I felt the same way. First happy to see Bender, then sadness that Futurama is off the air.

With an episode name like "Future-Drama", I was hoping for more Bender than we saw. Still good to see him, and it's made me run for my Futurama collection.

I wonder if his appearing on the tube was more of a rights issue than anything else - as in, a Futurama character has to show up on a new show every (X) years or else the rights get transferred.

Quite a few very funny moments surrounded by some lengthy dry patches. But overall not bad.

Agreed. Lot's of smiles, not many laughs. Having Bender there just made me long for Futurama all the more.

Pretty good episode. I really liked the Stupid Flounders line. There were a couple of other good lines that I liked, but I can't remember them now. D'oh!

It was fun, but there were way too many WTF? moments - even for a Simpsons of the future episode. The best one is still the one where Lisa gets married, and the worst one is where Lisa becomes president - this one was right in the middle.

Agreed. Not the best of this (surprising) season, but a few good laughs.

I don't recall any Simpsons episodes that used that much original pop music. New Order, A-ha, Spandau Ballet and Donald Fagen! Good stuff.
