Tripping the Rift: S01E08: Power to the Peephole

I think I set myself up for a disappointment with this episode. When I read the synopsis, I expected a lot of Florida 2000 election jokes.

Futurama: S01E5: Fear of a Bot Planet

It’s a little trite, I know! I really think the powers that be who worked on the show were trying to fit into their 7:30 p.m. time slot, though that’s never when they intended Futurama to be shown.
