What is worse than a **Futurama** focusing on Bender?

A **Futurama** focusing on Bender with the subplot focusing on Zoidberg.

Ugh. – and I’m only half way through.

I like Zoidberg and Bender. Who do you want Futurama to focus on?

IMO Bender and Zoidberg are the most interesting and funniest characters of the show.

I swear to god some people would bitch about a wet dream.

“Goddamnit, I woke up this morning screaming, clutching the sheets, my hips rocking spasmodically to an orgasm that seemed to envelop me in a ghostly white light. I’m still trembling from it. Why the hell does this keep happening to me? Worst episode ever.”

Wasn’t Bender a _good_ cook once upon a time, even to the point where he was ordered to make Nibbler’s birthday cake?

In any event, not one of _Futurama_’s better episodes.

My dreams, on the other hand…

“Amy, you’re the cute one, so I cooked you a pony.”

What’s not to like?

How can you not like an episode that parodies _Iron Chef_, even down to Kaga’s wardrobe??

We’re big Iron Chef fans, so Mr. Pug and I were giggling hysterically throughout this episode, to the point where we were missing a lot of the lines. We liked Chairman Kaga the best, and also Zoidberg “fingering” the boat inside the bottle with one of his tentacles.

OK, I’ll admit there was a bit of a lull in the middle of the episode, but "Fry Confesses

From the desk of John Zoidberg, M.D." was freakin’ hilarious.
