Phillip Fry is a 25-year-old pizza delivery boy whose life is going
nowhere. When he accidentally freezes himself on December 31, 1999, he
wakes up 1,000 years in the future and has a chance to make a fresh start.
He goes to work for the Planet Express Corporation, a futuristic delivery
service that transports packages to all five quadrants of the universe. His
companions include the delivery ship's captain, Leela, a beautiful one-eyed
female alien who kicks some serious butt, and Bender, a robot with very
human flaws.
Philip J. Fry is a 25 year old delivery boy living in New York City who is
cryogenically frozen on New Year's 1999 for 1000 years, where he wakes up
in New New York City on December 31, 2999. There, he meets Turanga Leela, a
tough but loving, beautiful one-eyed alien; and Bender, an alcohol-powered
bending robot who is addicted to liquor, cigars, stealing, amongst other
things. Eventually, they all meet up with Fry's Great, Great, Great, etc...
Nephew, Hubert J. Farnsworth. Farnsworth is a very old man who is a genius
but is very senile and forgetful. Fry, Leela, and Bender wind up working
for Farnsworth's Planet Express Delivery Service. They then meet their
co-workers; Amy Wong, who is a Martian intern who comes from a rich family,
but is still a human who is very hip. Also, there is Hermes Conrad, who
manages the delivery service and is pretty strict. Hermes seems Jamaican in
voice and look. And finally, there's Dr. John Zoidberg, a lobster-like
alien who is the crew's doctor. Unfortunately, he knows nothing about
humans. Fry, Leela, Bender, and sometimes Amy and Dr. Zoidberg travel
around the universe risking life and limb delivering packages and
performing charitable tasks for tax deductions.
