One of Futurama's weaker entries. It's a classic example of an episode that chooses to more-or-less ignore the show's sci-fi setting to tell a more traditionally sitcom-y story. That sort of thing CAN work (see 'I, Roommate'), but here it doesn't. Quite simply, the plot isn't interesting. It's a satire on censorship but the characters don't have many interesting things to do. This would all be forgivable if it was a drop-dead-from-laughing sort of episode, but it isn't. It's less funny than your average episode of the show.

It all combines to make for a rather weak entry into the Futurama canon.
