this be the first review i have ever write so here it go . futurama start off on new year eve 1999 where a pizza delivery boy and phillip j. fry and aka fry and be work the last hour before the new year . we immediately find out that his life suck . he get dump by his girlfriend while deliver a pizza and when he park his bike to make the delivery someone steal it . he end up deliver a pizza to a cryogenics lab to where he accidentally fall into a tube where he get frozen for 1000 year . he wake up to the year 3000 where obviously everything be completely different . without tell too much more and fry realizes he can start his life over and but he also realize that he know nothing about this world . he end up work for a space delivery company with a wide variety of people . the owner of the company be an 150 year old scientist who be fry great x ( a lot ) nephew who hire people for unusual reason . he have a one eyed space captain and leela and a robot who do the least amount of work and bender and a jamaican who run the business side of thing and hermes and an extremely rich asain engineering intern from mar university and amy and and a lobster doctor and zoiderberg and who happen to be very unqualified and very poor . those be the main character and but a you watch the show you will realize that the side character and even the extra make the show a lot more funny . the only problem with futurama be that it be release by the same people who create the simpson and at the time when the simpson have just finish their best year . this lead to immediate comparison between the two show and people be expect the simpson in space when they saw month of advertising about a show by the same creator of the simpson set 1000 year in the future . fan actually get a lot more ( dare i say ) than the simpson . there be a few great thing about futurama . one thing i notice be that people know so little about the past and even the smart people and the fungeneers and know so little . for example the first know astronaut be the honeymooner because of the line bang zoom straight to the moon and the first people on the moon be the whaler on the moon . the show generally revolve around fry and his struggle to fit into this new world and his love for leela . there be many episode and part of episode that focus on fry try to win leela heart and most of the time he be unsuccessful or unfortunate . bender and the robot and be an extremely selfish robot who care about no one and always get his way . he be the most quotable character on the show and have some classic line . the rest of the character be very funny and and have very odd personality and but do not get much of the show focus . many people consider bender to be the best character on the show and but the real gem be fry . fry be a as dumb a dumb can be but he be a good person who actually would be a smart person if he wasn not so lazy . he be a web of contradiction mainly because he hasn not focus himself in life and want to go place and but doesn not have the drive . throughout the show he have do some pretty amazing thing and have actually save the life of his co worker on a few occasion . hope this kind of helped and but if you skip all these explanation and come to the bottom i heavily suggest watch this show and start at the first first two episode of season one and then have fun with the rest ( 5 season total and 4 volume of dvd ) . and if you be already a fan and have see all the episode and watch them again while they have much more to offer than funny line and dumb action . 5/5 positive or . simply the best .
