Some of thebestFuturamaepisodesare parodies, but the installment in question did things a little differently.
One such example exists in the form of an episode from 2000.
It’s buried pretty well, but the homage is certainly there.
Leela and Brannigan also don’t end up together, unlike theirMulancounterparts.
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.
