Due to their addictive taste, the crew decides to sell them, quickly achieving a billion sold. Cohen, first aired on March 28, The episode sees pizza delivery boy Fry cryogenically frozen, emerging in the year in the city of New New York where he meets Leela and Bender and begins to search for his only living relative, Professor Farnsworth. The episode is notable for its extensive number of easter eggs which would be referenced throughout the series.
The pilot episode had unprecedentedly strong ratings and was the number one show among teenagers and men for the week of its release. Written by Lewis Morton and taking inspiration from science-fiction classics such as Flight to Forever , The Time Machine , and Last and First Men, this episode is another Futurama tale of time travel.
The ever-tardy Fry is forced by the Professor, along with Bender, to test out his new invention: a time machine that only moves forward in time. However, when they clumsily overshoot their one-minute test they are forced to keep going forward until a backwards time machine is invented. The episode was met with critical acclaim and won the Emmy for Outstanding Animated program. Certain episodes like "Neutopia," "Cold Warriors," and "Benderama" feel like retreads of old ideas, and the characters begin to head in directions that don't necessarily make sense, but serve the story.
Season eight isn't Futurama at its best, but it still contains episodes like "Overclockwise," which excels in serious storytelling, as well as "Reincarnation," which digs back into the anthology episode angle, albeit in a fresh way. Once Futurama was properly renewed on Comedy Central, these films were divided into four episodes each to form a episode season.
There are some understandable growing pains in this approach and the serialized angle can leave some episodes feeling less essential than others. It still features some great moments for the series and the arc between Fry and Leela is surprising and beautiful.
Season nine of Futurama is a troubled year, but fortunately the follow-up final season course-corrects many of these issues and ends Futurama's run in a strong way. There's the right amount of focus on Fry and Leela's relationship, which helps tie the episodes together and culminates with the exceptional series finale, "Meanwhile," which is Futurama at its very best.
Season seven of Futurama is its first proper season on Comedy Central after the "movie season. Fry" are simultaneously genius and hilarious. Futurama's first season works hard to establish this heightened universe, the rules that it follows, and the core crew of Planet Express, but season two is able to dig deeper and really highlight the potential of the show's premise.
Fry eats an egg salad sandwich from a truck stop, and the next thing he knows intelligent worms have revamped his body, making him smarter and healthier. This makes him more attractive to Leela, but then Fry wonders if it is really him she is into, and if she would still care about him without the worms.
Bender is not exactly one to fall in love. Then, he meets another robot named Angleyne, formally married to Flexo, a bending robot who looks just like Bender but with a little goatee. Much like Fry with his worms, Bender is worried about his relationship with Angleyne, this time worrying if she still has feelings for Flexo. Also, the Robot Mafia shows up, naturally. Lost on a planet without any food, Leela stumbles upon a hole filled with something akin to popcorn shrimp.
Then when one of the Popplers is left in a bucket for too long, Leela sees it grow up and develop into a talking alien. It turns out these Popplers were the babies of the alien race that lives on Omicron Persei 8. This leads to Leela almost getting eaten by the alien Lrr. Fortunately, she is saved, but R. Then Bender has to figure out how to save the Robot Mafia from taking down the Planet Express ship, which he is supposed to be on.
Yes, Atlanta, not Atlantis. Mermaids live there, and Fry falls in love with one of them. That is until it is time to be romantic. Or, as the holiday is known in the future, Xmas. All of this is revealed in this episode, which features a fine turn by John Goodman as the voice of Santa. Tackling environmentalism was a common topic for the show, and in this early episode, Earth is threatened by a giant ball of garbage that humans had sent into space years earlier.
The only way to fix things? Launching another giant ball of garbage, which means Fry teaching a recycling-conscious future how to be wasteful. Is there life on Mars?
