I love Futurama, but come on. The only thing you're going to learn by watching that show is how to write a funny TV script.

Really? What about Jurassic Bark[0]? That episode is extremely sad and precisely about the fallout of being cryogenically frozen.

The saddest futurama episode ever.

Only seen it once, it made me feel too depressed.

That episode gets me every time, and I've probably seen it more than 5 times. It makes me feel empathy for cryosleepers that don't even exist yet haha

My comment was a little tounge-in-cheek, but as mentioned there are good episodes about the perils of being cryogenically frozen.

Just like "Mars Attacks!" is a good movie about the perils of an alien invasion. If things that will never happen in our lifetimes can legitimately be described as perils.
