Review of "Cyber House Rules"
Dartheodore Maximillian Arada III
of a lot of new writers, and I found myself actually laughing at an episode
penned by one of the longer-lasting writers, Lewis Morton, who's penned "Amazon
Women In The Mood", and "Mother's Day", two of some of the show's funniest
episodes. I'll have to say the eye plot was a little dull though, probably
because like "The Day The Earth Stoopid", they took a large piece of
continuity, and didn't execute it as significantly as they could have. One of
the real gems was Bender's sub-plot, which was a perfect mixture of showing
Bender's literally inhumane lack of sincerity combined with showing his lighter
side. I think it's probably been Bender's funniest moment in the show's
entirety. The episode throughout maintained a good level of quality, and
probably my only gripe was the 'unwrapping-the-med-kit' to reveal a beautiful
women, then cut to Leela, which was already done on the Simpsons, funnier as
well. The joke was completely blantant, even if it was a parody which I might
suspect. In all, one of the better ones of the season: B+

No that was where they remove the bandages to reveal a beautiful woman in a
world where everyone looks ugly. As a way of looking at the definition of
normal. The "OOPS it's the wrong person under the bandages!" Gag sounds like
something originally from Laurel and Heardy {sic?} or the Marx Brothers or
something. But it's been a fairly standardized gag for some time.

An ep of 3rd Rock From The Sun had them practicing their reaction, for
when they unwrap the high commander's new face.

Speaking of, Where the hell did that show go? It was on a little long for NBC to
just cancel it with out saying anything wasn't it?

It was definitely not done by the Marx Brothers, at least not in their
movies. It sounds more Three Stoogesque to me. I've never seen them
do, but there are lot of Stooges shorts and I still haven't seen them
all. I haven't seen much of Laurel and Hardy, so I'm not sure.

That episode was re-run last week. (at least in Denver).

More than a month and still still no sign. It'll be wrapped this
season, but why are they dropping it before they could say goodbye? Oh
right, this is NBC the network that likes to play musical timeslots with
good shows (NewsRadio and 3rd Rock).

Same place all lame sitcoms[1] go. Syndication hell.
[1]That have managed to complete the requisite number of episodes to
qualify, anyway.

I think that the way they did the behind-bandage camera shot during the
unwrapping was a parody of the Twilight Zone episode, but I don't
remember exactly how the TZ episode went so I could be wrong.
Mike Zaite
Oh just the specific shot? Yea I think so. But it may have existed prior to TZ
for all I know.
