The attention to detail of having the shadow of nibbler in the pilot is a good example of why the show was so good. I doubt they fully fleshed out his plotline at that point, but having the seeds of things like that and the kook with the 9 on his shirt that don't become significant until much later is rather impressive. It makes the entire original run worth watching just to catch those details.
Imagine in the year 3000 there is a case of a man who has been frozen for 1000 years and just woke up and some historians notice an old television show that depicts the exact same events

Exactly what I was thinking. I remember, as I am an Australian, trying to explain to people in San Francisco (where I was at the time) that the millennium bug thing looked ok as Sydney seemed fine. They couldn’t comprehend that Australia had already entered 2000 and it was still early afternoon NYE in California. Eventually, I gave up…they were very, very, very confused.
One small plothole was solved by the ending episodes. Do you see the ships leveling New York in the background? Well, Bender controls them. Of course he would avoid the building Fry is already frozen in (that still survives the rebuilding into NNY) because that would create a paradox where Bender doesn't return to the past to eliminate Fry.
What's worth noting is that since New New York was built on top of Old New York, this means the building would be on low elevation. A crater-like suburb

This scene is so well made, the frozen look on his face while the days, months, and years pass in the outside world plus the music just makes this a perfect scene.
Thanks for making my childhood a little bit better, and thanks for always staying relevant, along with becoming a bit more relatable as i grow older. Love you forever futurama.
It never hit me as a kid how absolutely depressing it'd be to spend the 2000 new year's. I mean that's the one that you can ask anyone over 30 where they were and they'll always remember. It's a once in 10 lifetimes experience.
As we all know the transition from 1999 to 2000 was not the end of the millennium. That happened a year later. I never got tired of pointing this out 24 years ago, and it won me many friends.
Yes. But Seymour and Fry's family in 2 universes will see him again. Funny how universes in futurama are tied to 4 instance cycles. First two in cycle live and jump in time to kill the other 2. Remeber, the second one in cycle has no reason to kill hitler while time traveling because the first in cycle killed their hitler. This means that having both Hitler and Roosevelt alive, we live in first of 4 cycles therefore our Seymour and Fry's family will never see him again.
some people don’t like the later seasons, and i agree they could’ve been better. but the later seasons also had some of the best episodes of the series n i don’t regret watching them. i love the entire show and they ended it perfectly, they’re coming out w a new season soon hopefully they don’t ruin it.
ver since the first time I watched this scene I never forgot about it, not many TV shows have left such an impression on me since the very first episode, this was the perfect clip to upload on New Year's Eve 2022.
I love that you can see Nibbler's shadow right there before Frye goes into cryofreeze. They planned the time travel story waaaaay back then. Brilliant!
Young people today will never know the joy of ringing in an entirely new millennium, or the irritation of know-it-all killjoys telling us that 2000 didn't count.
I was 11 at the turn of the Mellenium , and in ireland they aired this on actuall new years eve on SKY 1 and ill never forgrt it (futurama aired in march in the Us, UK and Ireland got stuff 5 months late back then) but it was perfect
Funny that they show all the New Year's celebrations from around the world happening at the same time, but that doesn't happen in reality because different places have their own timezones.
After all these years since I first saw this show I still find it funny that not did the building Fry was in survived into the year 3000 but they cryo chamber he was in still had power.
Fun fact: While The Why Of Fry is pretty spot-on retelling Fry's delivery, the one detail they seemed to miss was Pilot Fry saying "here's to another lousy millennium" in the background while Pilot Nibbler and Current Fry talk
Plot twist: Fry is the one prophesied to destroy the Brain Spawn and save the universe as he lacks the delta brain wave, because he traveled back in time and became his own grandfather.
You know, when it comes to the past in Futurama, it’s the same way I look at the pre-work world and fall out, it’s so drastically different than the future that at some point you forget that it’s the same timeline. What’s sad is that fry celebrated The fact that he got a fresh new start away from his depressing life. When in later episodes we can see that he left behind a lot more than we thought
This show has a special place in everyone’s hearts.

Fry wasn't too thrilled about the year 1999.
As the New Year, 2023, arrives, this clip from Matt Groening's acclaimed cult classic is the opening moment from the episode that started it all.

Futurama was planned so well
