I think that this reboot suffers by unconscious comparison to the best episodes of seasons past, and the competition from a lot of great animated shows that have come out in years since. Also, this time around, the writers are much more into sentiment than rapid-fire comedy. We already got hints of that by the conclusion of the Comedy Central run.
Again, I was glad to have this episode, even if it’s not a classic. I feel it’s about on par with The Thief of Bag Head, to pick an example, and just about anything is better than The Beast with a Billion Backs.
