    "Everyone is sick of Fry living at Planet Express, so he is forced to move out to become Bender's roommate. The only catch is that Bender's apartment is too small for the two. After some searching they find a great apartment. A problem arises when Bender's antenna interferes with the TV reception. Bender decides to cut off his antenna so that he can live with Fry again. However he doesn't feel right without it, so he decides to leave and go back to his old apartment where he feels lonely. Leela convinces to convince Fry going back to the "small" apartment."

    Not the greatest episode, and then again, not the worst. This episode is good with humor like al the others, yet, it lacks a storyline. Average episode.moreless

    When Fry is kicked out of The Planet Express ship due to laziness, Bender invites Fry to live with Bender as his roommate. But Fry is fed up and tired of living with bender, due to the very small living space( it's just a closet). Fry tries to break it to Bender easy, but he can tell Bender isn't over it. Fry rents a new, fancy apartment, and invites Bender to live with him. But Bender's antanae is disrupting the Tv signal, so he is forced to move out.

    This was a great episode. Bender was great in it. I loved his line "Hey sexy mama, wanna kill all humans?", and him being drunk from not drinking.

    Overall Grade: 85%/B+moreless

    never realized how funny this episode was till i watched it with a friend, also a futurama fan, and we both laughed a lot, especially at bender's line "Hey sexy mama, you wanna kill all humans" or something like that. and the plot is pretty good, but i don't like the last act a whole lot. the ending is pretty funny. overall my grade for this episode would be one of the most easy "A's" i have ever given, this is surely one of the top 5 or so funniest episodes of the show, I think at least. Top-notch comedymoreless

    Fry and Bender get kicked out of the Planet Express due to lack of work and over-usage of facilities of the Planet Express station *cough* radiation *cough* chemicalshower *cough*. So Fry starts living in some form of room (very small, nonetheless) and becomes an annoyance for Fry as it's small. He says he's moving out, and he tries to find a new place to live. They all seem a bit bad (one's underwater, one's a resemblance of an M.C. Escher print, and one's in technically in New Jersey. A doctor, former Planet Express-er dies and they try for his old apartment. And since there's a closet, Bender can live there too. Due to Bender's 'aerial', they can not watch the ending of All My Circuits, however, so he chops his aerial off. They move back to Bender's old apartment... until Fry figures out there's a 'closet' which happens to be a large room for him to live. Great episode!moreless

    • WWE Monstertruck wrestling announcer sounded suspiciously like Vince McMahon from the World Wrestling Federation WWE. Edit
    • Red Dwarf In the UK Sci-Fi television series Red Dwarf, the episode 'Kryten,' is about the robot Kryten, a sanitation droid who only finds happiness in cleaning dishes and washing clothes, except his secret passion is watching the robot soap opera 'Androids.' It is a lot like 'All My Circuits' in the way that it is a parody of a real, 20th century soap opera ('Androids' being a parody of Australian soap 'Neighbours') and the way that all the plots are similar to 20th century soap operas except they are given a robot twist.
