Episode 1
Neutopia
Thu, Jun 23, 201122 mins
To prevent the imminent bankruptcy of the "Planet Express", the crew tries to make a bikini calendar using the female employees (much to Leela and Amy's dismay), but there are too few females to fill all the months. Then, they convert "Planet Express" into an airline company "Plan-Am". Due to Professor's chauvinism, women are made flight attendants, and men become pilots, even though Leela is the only capable pilot. This eventually causes the ship to crash on some planet, where the survivors are hopelessly locked in the battle of the sexes. The fighting attracts the attention of the local inhabitant - a rock creature with incredible powers. The creature proposes a series of tests to determine which gender is superior, but when both groups fail the tests, it concludes that gender is redundant altogether, and strips everyone of their sex characteristics. Not distracted by sex issues anymore, the survivors are able to create a perfect society - the Neutered Utopia (Neutopia), but after a while decide that it's not worth losing the joys of sex. So, the creature returns their sex characteristics, but due to a mishap women become men and vice versa. After returning to Earth, they must adjust to their new bodies and deal with bankruptcy at the same time. Fortunately, now there are enough female employees to complete the bikini calendar, which becomes a hit, thus saving the company. After that, another rock creature arrives to Earth and restores everyone back to normal. Or does he?
