Futurama: When Aliens Attack
Back in the 20th century, Fry accidentally destroyed a television transmitter, cutting off the last episode of Single Female Lawyer. Omicron Persei 8, one thousand light years away from earth, received the broadcast one thousand years later. Oblivious to the upset this has caused the Omicronians, the Planet Express crew goes to the beach for a vacation day. Their fun is cut short by an alien attack. Lrrr, leader of Planet Omicron Persei 8, demands to see the conclusion of the show or else he will destroy the Earth. With no remaining copies of the show in existence, everyone's fate depends on Fry and his extensive television knowledge.

Fry: It's crazy! How could they even know about a show from a thousand years ago?
