Plot
After Professor Farnsworth resets time to before he invented the time button, the Planet Express crew finds themselves in the year 3023. Convinced that he's wasted his life in the 31st century so far, Fry decides to do something to make Leela proud, ultimately choosing to watch every television series in existence. He proves successful at first, being able to watch most programs, but becomes concerned after learning that the 47th and final season of All My Circuits has an absurdly long number of episodes. After learning about binge watching, Fry puts himself in a binge watching suit and begins watching.
Months past, and the Professor grows concerned over Fry's binging, noting that he may die from execessive binging if measures are not taken. Fry is down to the last few episodes of All My Circuits, and has began watching episodes at 2x speed. Leela is able to convince the streaming service Fulu to revive All My Circuits for 20 new episodes, complete with a resurrected Calculon as the star. Episodes have to be produced and completed hastily due to Fry's extreme viewing habits, with the cast having to perform at 2x speed against episode scripts written by Bender. Because Fry is the only viewer of the revival, Fulu cancels the series again, forcing the team and cast to perform the final episode in front of Fry to ease him back to reality. Farnsworth begins reducing the opacity of Fry's binge goggles, but after Bender misplaces his cigarette resulting in an explosion, the suit is set on fire and combusts after Amy accidentally pours battery acid on it. The crew mourns Fry's death, until learning that Fry left the suit two days ago to catch up on his reading after deeming the All My Circuits revival unwatchable, which angers Bender, who tells him he did the best he could with the episodes.
