One of the worst episodes of Futurama but still not without merits. The plot is very, very dull and this is exacerbated by the incredibly dull visuals throughout. The color palette is all deserty and everything is a reddish brown. It's a shame because there's actually some moments of fantastic direction in the episode, particularly towards the end, it just suffers from its location. But then, I've never been a huge fan of westerns so maybe that's got something to do with it. The characters are for the most part, quite dull too. The leads are here and great as ever, but we're also stuck with Amy's parents who've never been funny and a number of Martians who are all based on stereotypical native Americans but are all very bland and lacking in interesting personality.
The comedy is a bit thinner than is usual for Futurama throughout the episode too. However, I should mention Zoidberg's running joke about making himself a bit too at home within the Wongs house being absolutely hilarious. "I took the liberty of fertilising your caviar" is among my favourite lines in Futurama history.
