Futurama - 7x11 - Viva Mars Vegas

    After Zoidberg gets mixed up with the robot Mafia, the whole crew winds up losing Amy's parent's casino on Mars.  An elaborate casino heist is in order to save the day.
    After recently rewatching The Simpsons episode The Book Job, it made me think that it's hard to make a bad casino - or heist - episode.  And it's still true, this episode isn't bad at all.  But it still seems like they just didn't nail it.  I guess part of my problem might be that I don't care for the robot Mafia much.
    I enjoyed the focus on Zoidberg.  I don't care too much about the Wong family.
    Like much of this season, the episode is good, but lacks the spark that drives it into greatness.
