I guessed it was India coz of the music they play when arriving on the planet. Sounds like Indian instruments to me.

Agree with that some jokes were funny. But... It felt very unnatural.

I like futurama, but this episode wasn't classic futurama. The topic simply was gadgets in 2010, with viral videos, iphones and twitter etc. This was more like a sucky modern Simpsons-episode.

I'd rather have they doing episodes that aren't big references to what's happening in our time right now. This goes for both simpsons and futurama. Leave this kind of thing to south park.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 6:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/futurama-critiques-gadget-and-social-media-obsession-using-1950s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/futurama-critiques-gadget-and-social-media-obsession-using-1950s/
... I just realized I've gotten totally off-track with a geekrant. I would like to see less of this from Futurama and the Simpsons and bring us more South Park episodes like when the internet was down because of the giant Linksys router... heh that was one of my hardest TV lol moments of that year.]]>Jul 2nd 2010 7:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/futurama-critiques-gadget-and-social-media-obsession-using-1950s/http://www.engadget.com/2010/07/02/futurama-critiques-gadget-and-social-media-obsession-using-1950s/Brilliant, I love it.

It's great to have Futurama back. I just hope I'm not the only one who is making an active effort to note who their sponsors are and support them.

Hell, I might even write letters to their sponsors telling them thanks.
