All My Circuits is a popular soap opera on Futurama, which is often watched by the Planet Express crew. Like many soap operas, All My Circuits involves
Calculon, the main star of All my Circuits
a great deal of backstabbing, blackmail, infidelity, melodrama, and amnesia. Unlike other soap operas, it stars a cast of mainly robot, acting units.
Main Characters
- Calculon: The main star of the show.
- Monique: Calculon's girlfriend, fiancé, and/or wife (depending on the point in the show). She has also had numerous affairs with others, such as Calculon's other personalities and his half brother Boxy.
- Human Friend: Calculon's best friend, he is the show's only human character and therefore is responsible for doing human things (e.g. laughs, learns, loves).
- Boxy: Calculon's evil half-brother.
- Antonio Calculon Jr.: the son of Calculon and Monique, Antonio was supposed to reveal that Calculon was not his actual father but the acting unit playing him malfunctioned and his replacement decided to go an alternate route.
- Bender: Before stepping down from the role due to pressure from groups like F.A.R.T., Bender Bending Rodríguez became a sensation on the show after replacing the malfunctioning Antonio Calculon and taking the role in a new direction. Much like the Bender in real life, "Bender", as Antonio asked to be called, was known for his hard partying, drinking, smoking, and a less-than-ethical worldview.
- La Perri: Calculon's human pet.
