Futurama’s seemingly immortal success is because it blends genres to create something wholly unique. The series’ silly sci-fi parodies often give way to surprisingly insightful explorations of morality, love and fate. This applies to its central characters as well, who began as one-note riffs on classic tropes, but have gained astrong emotional development across the series’ numerous stops and starts.Amy Wong began the series as a throwaway character, only to become a mature and driven woman by Season 8. Her arc has allowed the former party girl to become a committed mother, as seen in Season 8’s “Children of a Lesser Bog” (written by Eric Horsted and directed by Edmund Fong). Amy’s growth is one example of the development that’s helped make Futurama one of TV’s best animated series.”Children of a Lesser Bog” focuses on Amy’s relationship with Kif — specifically resolving a plotline Futurama set up 20 years ago. In Season 4’s “Kif Gets Knocked Up A Notch” (directed by Wes Archer and written by Bill Odenkirk), Kif gave birth to a clutch of tadpoles after being accidentally impregnated by Leela. The episode was largely about Amy’s struggles with the newfound maturity and responsibility thrust upon her by the situation. But it also highlighted how she’d come from being a lighthearted, occasionally vapid party girl to someone dealing with a serious relationship and serious issues.RELATED: Futurama’s Hulu Premiere Makes a Crafty Storytelling Decision
