Naturama

It's perfectly fine I suppose, not at all interesting though. Jokes are boring. It's not actively bad, there's just nothing engaging about it whatsoever.

In general, these anthology episodes of Futurama tend to be very tiresome and uninteresting.

I don't have much more to say, because there isn't much to say about this. It's not a particularly memorable episode.

It's a shame really because if you're watching while binging it really ruins the pace of the show and tires you out. I'd say it's worth skipping.

It might be my least favourite episode of the show in terms of how entertaining it is. When I thought of the "worst episode" this one came to mind. I think one or two other episodes are just about as bad in terms of either their entertainment value or message ("Forty Percent Leadbelly" and "Bend Her" perhaps)

I love episodes like this when they're done sparingly. The fun of these jokes comes from the viewers' familiarity with the existing characters and their appearances and voices. The satire of real science and biology skewed in such absurd ways is just hilarious.

The first segment is about salmon, focusing on the spawning and survival of salmon throughout their lives. The second is about Galapagos tortoises and their near extinction, as well as the evolution of finches. And the third is about elephant seals and their social hierarchy. The jokes in all three mainly rely on knowledge of existing scientific knowledge and how Futurama's characters might fit into those situations. For example, Bender and his self-centered nature fits with the elephant seal Beachmaster, and Professor Farnsworth in his old age acting as an ancient tortoise.

I laughed till I cried at how absurd this episode was and the jokes that caught me off guard. Clearly, the voice actors, animators, and writers were having a great time, and I enjoyed it along with them. Enjoying this episode requires an appreciation of scientific facts and a humorous perception of them.

What happened to the Sci-Fi comedy, this episode was some 3rd rate show about fish, turtles and seals! Some of the episodes in this season were so poorly written with stories that deviated from the funny show that was Futurama, but this was beyond belief!!

I cannot believe they finished the final season with an episode which did not even show the characters or visit planet express. It is like the writers got bored with the show and decided to do something completely different for no apparent reason. The animators were brilliant as usual but why did the show just go off the rails in this way!!
