Very good.
reidyq21 December 2021
(Ranking every episode of Futurama #3) This one is very important, the plot where fry and bender find a house together isn't even really the important part, the important part about this episode is how much it develops Fry and Bender's relationship. This is a very funny episode, as expected from any season of Futurama and this episode introduces "All My Circuits" the robot soap opera which is really funny. The start of the episode is very funny and the montage of them looking for houses is also very funny, this is what you should expect from an average episode of Futurama from seasons 1-4, as it changes a bit later. Overall, a very good episode.

The One Where Bender And Fry Move In Together...

I really like this episode. It's very funny.

In this episode, since Fry has been living in the Planet Express office, and everyone is sick of that, Fry moves in with Bender. Only one problem: Bender's apartment in literally a closet. So they try and find a place that will accommodate both of them. They end up finding a great apartment with a closet for Bender. But when it is discovered that Bender's antenna interferes with everyone's TV reception, so he can continue to live with Fry, he cuts it off.

Overall, I give this episode an 8 out of 10, which in my ratings book is: Awesome.

So that's where those skin flakes went

Not quite as funny as the first two episodes, but still a solid and memorable one.

This time we examine the relationship between Fry and Bender. Ultimately they are both loners who depend on each other for friendship and companionship. We learn through this episode the strength of their bond - that they will do anything for each other, even though they are both very selfish as individuals.

I like the start of the episode which showcases Fry being an inconsiderate slob around the office.

We also get a lot of time with the robot soap opera "All My Circuits".

Some of the jokes, like Amy slipping on a banana peel aren't very creative.

This one of my favorite episodes to be honest.

There are so many hilarious gags. When Fry goes to live with Bender and its literally a closet. One of the gags throughout the episode is that robots don't need any more space than the amount they physically occupy, so he is living in a closet that can fit 2 & 2/3rds people (lol) is considered spacious. The jokes about Bender being sober (but for robots it is drunk because alcohol is basically their battery for recharging) are hilarious. Prof. Farnsworth also says the classic line, "to shreds, you say". The ending twist was also iconic. This episode makes me burst out laughing with the jokes.

Fry finds a new place to live
Tweekums24 February 2012
Warning: Spoilers
Since his arrival at Planet Express Fry has been sleeping on the table, spilling food and wasting water amongst other annoying things and now the rest of the staff think it is about time he found a place of his own to live. None of the apartments he looks at are suitable though and eventually Bender suggests that Fry moves in with him; there is one problem though; his apartment is about the size of a typical closet. After a few days Fry can take it no more but as luck would have it some friends of the professors just died horribly and their apartment is now available. Fry and Bender move in and soon the once lovely apartment is a total pigsty. It all seems perfect, there is even a closet for Bender to sleep in; unfortunately there is a problem: Bender's antenna blocks the building's TV reception… he has a choice; leave the building or cut off his antenna.

While this isn't one of my favourite episodes it had plenty of good moments and saw the introduction of robot soap-star Calculon and his popular programme 'All My Circuits'. There were a decent number of laughs and a good twist at the end which I hadn't seen coming the first time I watched it and on repeat viewings it is the type of gag one looks forward to. It was amusing to see Bender's reaction to not drinking alcohol; the more he didn't drink the more he acted like a drunk!
