gave "The Creature from Plaque Lagoon" a 7 out of 10, which is considered "Good", calling the episode "straight forward" and comparing it to the season four episode "Dickesode". Kraków gave "Time Machine" a negative score of 6.7, as well as a negative review, saying Master Shake's "Safety Fart" song was the only amusing part of the episode. "2-And-a-Half-Star Wars Out of Five" aka ("Pink Man") was given a 7.5 by Kraków, found several jokes throughout the episode amusing, but found the scene with Carl throwing batteries at Drew funny, he also stated "''ATHF'' is all about the journey, not the destination". Kraków found Frylock's actions in "Fry Legs", a little strange and out-of-character for Frylock, who usually seen as the voice of reason. Kraków also found parts of "Fry Legs" humorous saying "yet another enjoyable episode that delivered its share of laughs, awkwardness and bloody chunks of flesh", and giving the episode a 7.9. Kraków found "Der Inflatable Fuhrer", easy to follow and was surprised with the direction the episode went in saying "The jokes were funny, the ideas were fresh and the outcome was predictable, but fulfilling nonetheless", and giving it an 8.2. Kraków gave "

" ("Live Action") a score of 6.0, and a negative review, calling it "over-hyped" and saying "the show lost focus and failed to deliver the one thing that has kept it going for six seasons: jokes".
