Featured review
How "Do Pizza Bots Dream of Electric Guitars" fails to deliver on its promising premise
The "Do Pizza Bots Dream of Electric Guitars" episode of The Simpsons had some good moments, but unfortunately, the annoying phrases of the characters working for J. J. Abrams were a major downside. The over-the-top fawning over the guest star felt insincere and left a bad taste in my mouth. The episode started out decently with the robots in the pizza joint being funny, but this joke had already been used in an earlier episode of the series. Additionally, that original scene felt very '90s due to its setting in the era of the robots' debut.
Overall, the reliance on tired jokes, the attempt to retcon the series and the uncomfortable pandering to a guest star detracted from the overall enjoyment of the episode.
