A brilliant first act spent on the internet (albeit a somewhat dated look at the internet) turns into a very, very interesting idea about Leela discovering her home planet. Unfortunately, the idea doesn't play out to its full potential. The visuals are somewhat bland here and there with a fairly limited colour palette but I think I'd forgive that if it wasn't for constant spoofing of Married... with Children. I know, I know, Katey Segal was on the show, I get it. I just feel that parodying a (really bad) sitcom almost turns the episode into a bad sitcom. It takes away from a lot of its scope and emotion.
I also never found those moments particularly funny, so it impacts on the episode's overall gag-quality too.
It's not a bad episode, but it could have been a lot better.
