The animated sitcom, from “Simpsons” creator Matt Groening, takes place in the 31st century in New New York, a futuristic city built atop the ruins of the present-day Big Apple. It follows Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy who is frozen in a cryogenic chamber in the year 2000 and awakes 1,000 years later, just before the year 3000. He soon becomes close friends with Leela, a one-eyed mutant from the sewers; Bender, a crude, cigar-smoking robot; Professor Farnsworth, a mad scientist and descendant of Fry; Conrad, a Jamaican accountant; Dr. Zoidberg, a lobster-looking Decapodian and physician; and Amy Wong, a ditsy astrophysicist student.
