The basic premise is a pizza delivery boy from modern day New York gets sent on a prank delivery, and accidentally falls into a cryogenic freezing tube, where he lies i suspened animation for the next 1000 years, only to wake up on New Years Eve 2999! He ends up finding his Great x500 uncle, who is a senile old man who runs Planet Express, an interstellar delivery company. He gets roped into working for him, and is back to the same dead-end job he had 100 years ago...
As for the chick with 1 eye. At first she is said to be an alien that was abanoned on Earth, but it is later revealed that her parents are a part of the mutant tribe who live in the sewers beneath New New York.
You can get the 1st season boxset for $15 brand new, and Im sure you could find it for less at a used shop. I highly recomend checking it out, if you're a fan of The Simpsons and other such shows.
