Futurama Returns

Act I
The crew return from a delivery to find an invitation to the Q&A panel at Packagecon, the big delivery and shipping convention in Space Diego. Meanwhile, the Professor learns that the Box Network has removed Planet Express from the delivery schedule, but he soon discovers an alternative in the Carton Network. The crew, while on their way to Packagecon, get snagged on a cable operated by the Carton Network which pulls them into a vortex. They go back to December 31, 2999 and are forced to relive the last five years and all of their past deliveries again. Over this time, Fry and Leela realize that they are living in a world of cable reruns.

Act II
Bill Morrison, the moderator of Boxco, introduces the Planet Express Crew. Only to realize that the only member that has showed up is Scruffy.The Package-Con attendees are shocked to discover this and frantically asking questions about them. After a question about DVD sets, Scruffy gets the idea of releasing Hidden Camera Tapes Volumes 1-4, DVD box sets showing what happens behind the scenes of Planet Express in a Big Brother style situation (some things shown include Amy having a shower, Hermes picking his nose, Zoidberg picking through garbage and Cubert going into Farnsworth's safe). The crew grow sick of their loop during their 93rd visit to the Gypsy and ask about the future. The Gypsy informs them of four adventures, the first two of which involve cosmic repercussions, though the Gypsy couldn't, even with her powers of robo-foresight, see the plot of the fourth adventure. Finally, the crew are saved and brought back to the present thanks to the mighty nerd powers of their fans.
