Space Pilot 3000 is Futurama's pilot episode which was aired on Fox on March 28, 1999. It was all about Philip J. Fry, who experienced cryogenic freezing when he fell into a cryogenic tube while he was delivering pizza to "Applied Cryogenics" on December 31, 1999. By the time that he was defrosted, he discovers that he woke up a thousand years later, which was on the year 2999, realizing that he is now seeing the New New York City.
The plot goes like this. Fry meets Leela, who decides one's fate, and then again, Fry was assigned as a permanent delivery boy. Not wanting this, he flew into the city. Tracking his only living relative, Professor Farnsworth, he meets a robot named Bender who also does not like his job. Together they hid from Leela in the Head Museum and then eventually realizes they were underground, where the Old New York ruins are. Then Leela catches Fry who then accepted the job because he was too depressed knowing he was alone, and then Leela pitied him who also realizes she was alone and later on quits her job too. Then the three of them found the professor who hires them as crew of his ship.Fry then discovers he was going to be a delivery boy, but this time he was happy about it.
As the title suggests, this cartoon or animation is really futuristic. With Fry waking up a thousand years later, certainly a lot of things had changed. Everything was so, in his eyes, new and were once in his time impossible. Yet. This series' take on the future is that it will be very much advanced, with all the inventions and innovations and technological improvements. Of course it will not happen all at once, or very soon, but it is definitely not impossible. Futurama tackled time travelling in a subtle way, I guess. It didn't have that time travelling machine or something, but the ice served as this when it preserved Fry's body for a thousand years.
