I thought this episode was hilarious. Full of laughs. I cannot understand why you would not enjoy this.

There were jokes, some hit and some miss but I'm starting to forget why I liked this show to begin with. There's a severe lack of charm in it lately and the current writers, probably some who were fans of the show from the start, have given up trying to stay consistent with characters, plot developments, and canon.

Why is Bender referencing Christmas? I mean he could potentially do so given that he has been around a while but everyone else calls it Xmas. Why does Fry make jokes about culture that came a decade after he was frozen? (*Lady gaga) Well... we all know the answer to that one... because they need to stay contemporary, but they've done so at the expense of their own story and they have taken on the mindset to just ignore it rather than draw attention to it. It's quite frankly, a betrayal. Now there've been good episodes and great ideas in this batch and this episode had its share of fun ones but... I'm bored with these characters. They seem less lived in and more puppets of the moment these days.
Maybe the guarantee of two more seasons will finally give the production team some time to really plot out a trajectory for the show because like this episode a staleness has set in. For me personally, it's not enough that Futurama be funny because it was so much more not too long ago.

If I ever see David X. Cohen on the street I am spiting on his shoes for this abortion of a show.

Not one of Futurama's best, but also not the worst. This is, overall, just an average episode.

The plot seems absurd for a show like Futurama. But personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. This episode had its laugh-out-loud moments, but it also had its bad moments, such as the Lady Gaga joke. (I'd like to see less jokes like this for this season.) The episode also felt a bit childish at some points with the songs and all that, but since the plot does involve Leela making a show aimed at children, I can understand that. Though the episode could have appealed more to the age group of Futurama fans, and could have made more use of the futuristic setting of the show.

I don't think it was as good as the episodes from the past few weeks, but it's still decent. I'm still looking forward to the next batch of episodes. Overall, though this episode pales in comparison to other episodes from the original run, it wasn't the worst episode of the entire run, and Futurama has by no means jumped the shark just because of this episode.

If you think this is "on par" with classic futurama... you have either A) not seen classic futurama episodes or B) need to go back and watch them... that way you will know how bad this one sucked. BTW- WTF happened to Fry and Leela being anything..?! why so topical in the episodes this season?! every character doesnt need their own episode.

Lots of reviews for this episode, clearly people have been inspired to vote 1/5 in droves when they don't like something

Not bad, not great. No way is this the worst episode ever. Attack of the Killer App, Neutopia, and the Christmas Spectacular are all much worse.

Most of Leela-centered episodes aren't that great. This one however is plain terrible. The story was incredibly dull (everyone knew that there was something up with her sudden ability to write, it was illogical how Leela was at one point arrogant and then suddenly overly remorseful...). The jokes weren't funny, not even in a Family Guy kind of way. Sure, Zoidberg doing a tap dance is always nice, but the whole noise scene was so obviously forced that I couldn't enjoy it. And please, stop all these pop culture references!
Add to that the annoying musical scenes and you got yourself quite a mess. Generally, I'm not happy at all with the way Leela is turning out in this season. I can try to think of good things to stress out, but there aren't really any. Bender stepping on the orphan was kind of funny. The tap dance obviously. But that's it.
