Matt Groening and David X. Cohen’s Futurama has accrued 150 episodes — with more on the way — across three separate networks. The animated comedy may have initially been perceived as a futuristic sci-fi riffing version of The Simpsons. However, Futurama has gradually developed its own identity through outlandish characters, a rich universe, and thought-provoking storylines that cleverly hold a mirror up to society, even if the series is set 1000 years in the future.Futurama’s smart writing and emotional character deconstructions are often the animated comedy’s secret weapons. However, Futurama’s desire to shake up the status quo and lampoon pop culture doesn’t always connect and sometimes even confuses or offends.This episode functions as a sweet cornerstone for Amy and Kif, but there are also several moments where Kif’s pregnancy is played for laughs and portrayed as a gross endeavor, especially when he finally gives birth. These are light offenses, but it’s still a slightly tone-deaf episode that feels reductive by its ending, since Kif and Amy’s kids don’t become an ongoing presence in the series.
