Ah, the old stomping grounds. |
Synopsis: While on a delivery to Professor Farnsworth's university, Mars University (located, where else, Mars), Fry learns that his college dropout from the 20th Century was useless. Fry has a new resolve- enroll at Mars U, and drop out. However, he feels a sense of jealousy for Farnsworth's "project", Gunther- a monkey with a hyper-intelligence chip in his brain.
Meanwhile, Bender meets up with a chapter of his old Robot Fraternity. Realizing that they're a bunch of geeks, Bender tries to get them to loosen up by pulling pranks - one that gets them in the crosshairs of the Dean.
Review (SPOILERS): It is statistically proven that college/university rocks. What stat am I citing? My brain and various media... truly accurate sources of information.
So what better way to get into sci-fi hijinks than COLLEGE!!!!
Bizarrely enough, though, the end result is probably one of the weaker episodes so far - not a bad episode, by most means, but one that could've been better.
