Summary Season 1 of Futurama has some rough edges that makes it harder to return. Debuting in 1999, Futurama introduced audiences to the world of the 31st century alongside Fry, a dopey New Yorker who was cryogenically frozen for a thousand years. At its height, the Emmy winning series proved to be hilarious, romantic, and shockingly thoughtful.
Each of the episodes are resolved by Fry learning to be empathetic with others. Later episodes in the season steadily highlighted his more mental failings, but it wouldn't be until the second season that his genuinely softer side would become more prevalent. Instead, the early episodes of Futurama focus more heavily on Fry's faults and flaws instead of him stumbling into a new adventure or situation.
This storyline is one of the most emotionally compelling arcs in the entire show, with the pair steadily growing as people and eventually establishing a rapport that would become central to many narratives. However, the early dynamic Fry and Leela was established more as unlikely friends, who each find their own short-lived romances elsewhere. Returning to season 1 and seeing Fry forming a staged romance with Leela with little emotional blowback can come as a surprise in retrospect.

Minor characters like the Head of Richard M. Nixon, the Robot Mafia, or Hedoism Bot work great within the show as both living plot-device and silly side character who can deliver a couple good throwaway gags before eciting the plot.

However, later episodes revealed that Nibbler was actually a member of an ancient race responsible for the protection of the universe.
