One thing that quickly became clear in the early "Futurama" episodes is that not every member of the Planet Express crew has the same importance. The show largely revolves around the big three of Fry, Leela, and Bender, with Professor Farnsworth right behind them. In a separate tier are Amy, Hermes, and Zoidberg, who are usually present in any given example but only rarely get their time in the spotlight. Amy didn't really lead the A-plot of an episode until season 7's "That Darn Katz," for instance, although the early seasons' "Put Your Head On My Shoulders" and "Amazon Women in the Mood" also give her some interesting material to work with. Zoidberg also rarely gets to be the main character, although he can take solace in how he still gets way more focus than poor Scruffy.
Hermes, meanwhile, is a character usually stuck hanging around in the episode's B-plot.

Futurama is back (again), this time for its eleventh season, and on Hulu for the first time. After its humble beginnings on Fox, its direct-to-video revival, and its stint on Comedy Central in 2010, the show is looking to return, but now on a streaming service. Following its (fourth) series finale, the show lived on with reruns on SyFy, Fxx, and Adult Swim (once again); Hulu looked to revive Matt Groening‘s animated series in 2022. After a lot of drama and controversy regarding non-competitive compensation, a fair wage was met, and John Dimaggio (who voices Bender) returned alongside the whole gang of Billy West (Fry), Katey Sagal (Leela), Tress MacNeille (Mom), Maurice Lamarche (Kroker), Lauren Tom (Amy), Phil Lamarr (Hermes), and David Herman (Scruffy). Now all ten episodes of Season 11 are available on July 24, and we’re wondering: how many people are still on the Planet Express shuttle? It’s not...

The first time "Futurama" audiences saw Scruffy the Janitor, he was standing in the background, quietly doing his job in the episode "My Three Suns." Later, in "Anthology of Interest I," Scruffy was brought into the building's Accusing Parlor (a room specifically built for whodunnit scenarios) where he and Leela (Katey Sagal) both admitted to never having seen each other before. Initially, Scruffy was a background character, only speaking to provide a quick giggle; he couldn't fix the building's boiler because of a "schedule conflict," and a more intense interest in this month's issue of Zero-g Juggs.
