Futurama: Space Pilot 3000
I'll preface this by saying that Futurama is one of my favorite television shows ever, and I love every episode equally. Futurama is one of those shows that doesn't really have to reach for ideas, everything feels natural, the characters are likeable, and the writing is excellent. Episode one is as good of a place to review as any, even the pilot is great. The show starts with "Fry" in a pizza restaurant working as a delivery boy, he goes to make a delivery on new years eve, 1999. He arrives, it was a prank, and obviously he becomes frozen for a thousand years. He wakes up in 3000, goes on a large adventure through "New New York" trying to escape from a purple haired Cyclops with his new robot friend, "Bender", bending robot. They eventually all meet up, and become the new delivery crew for Fry's elderly nephew. The episode is hilarious, the jokes are quick, the characters develop as the episode goes on, and it introduces you to the premise of the show very well.
