While searching for Fry’s (Billy West) lucky, and only, pair of pants the Planet Express crew uncovers an ancient Martian calendar predicting that the world will end in 3012 (along with fires, earthquakes, and sharksplosions). A little scientific investigation by Professor Farnsworth (West) discovers the cause of the recent unstable weather patterns is the onset of a catastrophic sunspot cycle which is also responsible for the short circuiting off all electricity on Earth.

Tired of his dead-end job as a delivery boy, Fry (Billy West) sets out to find a new career… as a cop. Although I thought the previous episodes of this season were okay (if nothing special), here for the first time the show really delivers with an episode that spoofs everything from Police Academy to the original Tron. The only real disappointment to this episode is that it ends far too soon. Honestly, I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Philip J. Fry: Space Cop.
