{5\/5} “‘Admit it, you all think robots are just machines built by humans to make their lives easier.’ ‘Well, aren’t they?’ ‘I’ve never made anyone’s life easier and you know it.'” — Bender & Fry<\/p>\n
Futurama<\/strong> season 1, aired in 1999<\/p>\n Philip J. Fry is accidentally frozen for 1000 years. He tracks down one of his descendants, an old man named Hubert J. Farnsworth who has a delivery service — they deliver things using a space ship. Bender, a robot, becomes Fry’s best friend. And Leela, a woman with one eye, joins them on their adventures. When their first delivery is to the Moon, Fry finds that it’s much different than in his day — there’s a big amusement park there.<\/p>\n It’s very funny, and often very clever.<\/p>\n There’s some silliness, but the silliness is funny because you like the characters. For example, when Bender is exposed to a magnet he loses his inhibitions are starts singing folk songs.<\/p>\n There are lots of sight gags. For example, “Objects in mirror are less attractive than they appear.”<\/p>\n Like Lower Decks<\/strong>, there are some unfunny moments. For example, when everyone is kicking Fry at the end of “My Three Suns.”<\/p>\n My favourite character is Bender.<\/p>\n The delightful theme by Christopher Tyng will always put a smile on your face.<\/p>\n In “Love’s Labours Lost in Space” Leela meets Zapp Brannigan, an arrogant and not-so-smart captain. “A Big Piece of Garbage” has a nice environmental message. In “When Aliens Attack” Lrrr from Omicron Persei 8 attacks Earth and demands that he see a TV episode from 1000 years ago. In “Fry and the Slurm Factory” they go to Wormulon and are shocked to discover the secret ingredient in Slurm Cola.<\/p>\n Stars the voices of Billy West, John DiMaggio, and Katey Sagal.<\/p>\n Created by Matt Groening (The Simpsons<\/strong>).<\/p>\n This is the 2nd time I’ve watched it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" {5\/5} “‘Admit it, you all think robots are just machines built by humans to make their lives easier.’ ‘Well, aren’t they?’ ‘I’ve never made anyone’s life easier and you know it.’” — Bender & Fry Futurama season 1, aired in 1999 Philip J.
