In this pilot episode, tired and fed-up New Yorker, Fry, accidently time warps into the year, 2999. He quickly comes to terms with what has been left behind and is excited for a fresh start in life. Fry's journey is entertaining from start to finish.
The characters of Bender and Leela provide diversity to what will become the remainder of the main characters. It is reassuring to see this new and very likeable trio of Bender, Fry, and Leela arise, as Fry realises that he is not alone in this new world. The episode ends with the newly appointed 'space crew' skyrocketing into space with its incredible theme music, "Don don, don don, don don...".
If it had been my first time watching upon my last watch, I would've hoped for, although not relied on, the rest of the series being as great as this episode. Everything the viewer would want to happen, happens, although in a way that is surprising and unpredictable. Very few TV shows, let alone animated sitcoms, have come close to producing a pilot so funny, refreshing, and intriguing as Futurama's 'Space Pilot 3000'.
