All My Circuits is a TV show sometimes viewed by the Planet Express crew. It stars mainly Robots, with a single token Human. In 3001, a movie based on it was released. The show seems to have evolved from 20th century soap operas, though is much more exaggerated and melodramatic. Its name is a reference to the soap opera All My Children from our time.
