    Rate and review: Zapp Dingbat

    Leela tries to seduce Zapp Brannigan back away from her mother while her father dreams of surfing the great sewer waves of the world (halftime at the Rose Bowl, Dublin on Saint Patrick's Day, Mardi Gras and Rio de Janeiro).

    Another "okay" episode that had a couple of cute jokes but is largely forgettable. The end with Morris using the surfing to save them and reunite with his wife was sweet. 2/5

    Oh joy.

    DirecTV and Viacom are fighting over moneys so they blacked out all of their networks, including Comedy Central. I just found out that I DVR'd a half hour of the DirecTV logo.

    Bullshit.

    Definitely better than the last two episodes, but I love Zapp Brannigan so I'm probably biased. 4/5 B+

    Did anyone else notice that when they showed a preview for the next episode of Futurama, it was actually a preview for last night's episode?

    M-E-H, but I bet a lot of 'fan-boys' got erections watching Leela in a see-thru nightie last night.

    Another good one. The jokes were non-stop hilarious once again and I liked how they didn't go the predictable route of Zapp cheating on Munda with Leela to show his jerkiness. 4/5 (B+)

    ETA: I wonder if any online viewers were fooled by the opening caption. I sure was.

    Well I guess Homer and Marge aren't in Futarama so someone else had to have a marriage crisis. Just kidding.

    It was nice how both of Leela's parents were happy with their new lives. What disappointed me was the rapid turnaround, but it was alright overall.

    I'm not gonna lie....I had a Frygasm when Leela said Fry was on his way to becoming "Marriage Material"
    Also, "Does you're mother know you're using her pole?" was one of the funniest/disturbing lines I've heard.
    Overall, a very good episode. 4/5 from me.

    Just be thankful

    I liked it... they gave Leela's parents good personalities, every moment with Zapp was great, and I liked that his love was sincere. Only nitpick is that surfing stuff was a little half-baked

    Also I want to take a moment to appreciate that it was named after a font

    Average and forgettable, it felt like post-cancellation filler. I'm totally fine with that, though - its nice to have a break from the world nearly coming to an end every other episode. Zapp, IMO, is best used as a supporting character. Every episode where the main plot is about him and a love interest, be it Leela or otherwise, has been uninteresting to me. So, this lost some points from me for that as well.

    The episode in general was not so bad but the 5 lat minutes of the episodes were so bad that I can't give more than 2/5 to this episode...

    I had issue with the character motivations in this one. It was a pretty flimsy premise and felt pretty rushed--I didn't really buy into any of the stuff happening, from Munda and Morris's split-up to Munda suddenly falling for Zapp, and vice-versa. It kinda felt like the whole episode was basically written to get some awkward scenes between Leela/Zapp/Munda. So...mission accomplished, I guess?

    2.5-3/5
