What do people here think of Futurama changing dialog to update references.
The one I noticed (and was written about) is in the episode "The Day The
Earth Stood Stupid" where the line was changed ...

Bender: "Let's all join the Reform Party"

to

Bender: "Let's all join the Tea Party"

Seriously, do you think Matt & Trey would do this?

Would Comedy Central? That's another question.

Brian Boitano? Who's that? Don't you mean Patrick Chan, like in the song
"What Would 2011 World Champion Figure Skater Patrick Chan Do?"

Something like that is much better than what George Lukas is
doing with old Star Wars movies.
