Futurama's episode "Roswell That Ends Well" takes viewers on a wild time-traveling adventure. The Planet Express crew is sent back to 1947 after a combination of a supernova and Fry putting metal in the microwave. They find themselves in Roswell, New Mexico, where Bender is mistaken for UFO debris, Zoidberg is taken in for an alien autopsy, and Fry accidentally kills his grandfather, Enis, in a nuclear explosion. Despite Fry's charming personality and Bender's comedic appeal, the time travel element is a bit weak.

The episode has an interesting premise and some surprisingly clever humour, but viewers may find themselves disappointed with the lack of what some might call a "hardcore incest sex" scene. Overall, it's a solid 4.5/10 for this episode. If the show had included the scene, it could have been a masterpiece of modern television.

The episode was rated 7.96 from 1087 votes.

There is an emotional thread that ties it all together and brings the episode to a beautifully sentimental conclusion. This episode proves that Futurama is more than just a comedy show, it is also able to deliver emotional character work and tug at the heartstrings.
