The Futurama crew in a bit of distress
The Big Picture During the opening sequence of the Futurama Season 12 premiere, the animated series' ever-changing title caption reads simply: "Your TV Friend.
Futurama TV-14Comedy Sci-FiAnimation Futurama follows the exploits of Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy from 1999 who is cryogenically frozen for 1000 years. Waking up in the year 3000, Fry befriends a cyclops named Leela and a roguish robot named Bender, and the three find employment with Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery service. Their work takes them to all corners of the universe, exploring space and the future as imagined by Matt Groening and the creators of The Simpsons.
As is usually the case with Futurama, the season, which will eventually total 10 episodes released weekly, is full of standalone episodes featuring little connectivity between them. Still, there is some overall series lore being paid attention to here that will make fans happy. For starters, Kif and Amy's children from last year are still around! And another dive into Bender's family history at least tries to fit in with what's come before on that front.
The main cast of characters is still used to good effect. Bender, stuck-in-the-future Fry , and one-eyed pilot Leela remain the primary players in these episodes, with plenty of good stuff around the edges for, not just Farnsworth, but also Amy, Hermes , and, my personal favorite, Zoidberg .
