    I feel like futurama is getting worse. They’re not bad, but they’re not as good as the original series. Anyone else?

      Yes!. Although I was hoping to see the era of “when mankind was enslaved by giraffes”

    I liked it, it has the sort of oddly turned phrases, ridiculous plot, and background nonsense that previous seasons were great at.

    SPOILERS AHEAD

    the episodes are indeed getting worse, but they still kept good level of details and inter-connectivity between episodes:

    • the time machine [and the foldable chairs in it]
    • reference to Disenchantment
    • scenes from previous episodes (even those that didn’t happen in the timeline, Big Bender)
    • “fixing” Santa
    • the double entendre “meat market” joke

    This episode was great; a classic Xmas episode. You are all so negative. The season is on an uptick. The Dune episode was fantastic too. Give them a chance. There are so many jokes in these that are great.

      I was on vacation last week, and just saw this episode yesterday. I agree, it was a lot of fun! Good jokes (“Dumpster nog! And not the kind for kids!”), snappy pacing, good performances, and some of that sentiment they’ve been working in more. I particularly enjoyed each family’s variation on turducken. (“Oh, no, they crave death.”)

      As to what happened to Marianne, or why Robot Santa has a naughty/nice switch instead of bad programming? SCIENCE HAS NO ANSWERS!

    I love how everything Santabot ate was a cookie.

    Table? COOKIE!!! Chair? COOKIE!!! Metal disc? COOKIE!!!

    Also loved the variations on turducken.

    Enjoyed the small details in the background of scenes.

    Definitely one of the better Xmas episodes. Glad to see the Coolio ending.
