    7 stars for the cute pup

    I can watch this episode over and over just to see the pup. Well, the hidden meaning behind this episode could be our dependence on automated gadgets until it comes to a point that those gadgets can rule over human beings. Who knows this could be the future!

    Quite fun, but nothing unique.

    My first episode. It was quite alright, some funny scenes. The animation was solid, but the story lacked originality and complexity.

    Another Gem

    Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Like all of the better ones it's 10 minute runtime is packed with quality animation, a good story and more than a few laughs. A great start (This is Episode 1 on Netflix) to Season 2.

    A fun, goofy ride

    This is one of my favorite episodes from Season 2, perhaps because Season 2 was an overall let down. That being said, this episode was hilarious and wacky. Is the animation groundbreaking? No, but I think it's the right medium as it just makes all the character's actions more entertaining. Yes there isn't much of a story, because new flash there isn't supposed to be. It's old people in a retirement home fighting back against their sentient technology. That's it. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I do not understand the hate just like I do not understand how people call this a 10/10 masterpiece (because it's not). Learn to stop reading into comedy and just enjoy it for what it is.

    Silly, but funny.

    It takes it's joke a little far at times, but it's a pretty funny joke, so it can be forgiven, and the animation style is quirky and interesting.

    Not the best episode of the season, but far from the weakest.
