How this season is filed
A frozen delivery boy wakes a thousand years later, and Groening still finds the sad note under the gag. Nerd-precision sci-fi sitcom: math jokes, robot unions, and hours that wreck you between punchlines. Fox animation with real pathos — revived, never replaced, still the smartest pizza-delivery epic on television.
