What Season 1 of Futurama

Fry is a not-so-bright pizza delivery boy whom nobody expects much from. However, everything changes on New Year's Eve 1999, when he delivers pizza to a cryogenics lab and ends up trapped in one of the capsules for a thousand years. When he wakes up in the 31st century, in a completely changed world, he turns to his last living relative, Professor Hubert Farnsworth, to help him settle into this future. He joins the crew of Planet Express, an intergalactic delivery company, alongside a purple-haired cyclops named Leela and a foul-mouthed, alcoholic robot named Bender, and together they go on the wildest adventures.
