together instead of love. At the end of the spree of destruction, Santa tells Bender that if he tries a stunt like that again, he will kill him, and pushes Bender off the sleigh amid the burning buildings. Production John Goodman, who voiced Robot Santa in the previous episode "Xmas Story", was unavailable to reprise his voice role for this episode; the voice was provided by John DiMaggio. Dan Castellaneta, who voiced the Robot Devil in "Hell Is Other Robots" and "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", was busy with The Simpsons; his voice was provided by Maurice LaMarche. Broadcast and reception Futurama executive producer David X. Cohen referred to this episode as Futurama's lost episode due to the delays in its initial broadcast. Fox Network decided the episode was not appropriate for its 7 p.m. time slot (due to the one use of strong language and scenes of violence, though, according to the DVD commentary, the only extreme violence in this episode is the scenes of destruction when Bender and Robot Santa are terrorizing New New York) and the episode was delayed for a year before being scheduled to air in a later time slot on December 23, 2001. In its initial airing, the episode received a Nielsen rating of 4.1, placing it 77th among prime-time shows for the week of December 10–16, 2001.
