Rate/Review Futurama 4ACV16 "Three Hundred Big Boys"

[George Cauldron]

Just saw this episode in the UK. I'm sorry, Futurama fans, but I hated it too. The plot was completely disjointed and without any sense of aim. If it was supposed to be a 22 Short Films About Springfield style plot, they didn't give away any clues, it just seemed like bad writing. The main problem was that most of the story was dull and you just didn't really care for the characters. There was barely an amusing moment, and as much as I like Roseanne, her guest stint was utterly pointless, possibly the worst on Futurama to date, and comparable with the worst on The Simpsons.

Tonight's Futurama was without a doubt the worst episode ever. Rest assured, I am on the internet within, uh...*checks watch*....two hours to register my disgust throughout the world. Yes, worse than That's Lobstertainment and A Pharoah To Remember.

The idea seemed solid, and there's no need for a real in-depth analysis, all that needs to be said is that it was NOT FUNNY. The only story that was remotely amusing was Fry and his coffee, and that was only smileworthy, not even chuckleworthy. I laughed at "Commander Riker's Island" but nothing else worked. Amy's talking tattoos, everything with the Professor and the teenager, Bender's INCREDIBLY thin cigar-stealing story, the "I'm a whale biologist" crap (now really, what the hell was that?), Hermes, Roseanne (*shudder*)........ugh. Actually, now I think about it, I did like Zoidberg's story, and thought his attempts at being rich were quite amusing. I wish they had canned all the other crap and just made this a Zoidberg episode with that story, it was a wasted opportunity and would finally have given some substance to the odd recurring joke about Zoidberg being poor. Anyway, I'd give this a C-. Worst.....episode.......ever.

I just saw this episode and I have a question. I don't watch Futurama very often, so I have a question about Roseanne's guest appearance. Has she done the world of facts thing before or has another person done it or was it just completely random and unecessary?

I don't think it had ever been done before.
