About Futurama
- Released on March 28, 1999
Futurama is an animated science fiction sitcom that has captured the hearts of many with its unique storyline and memorable characters. The show was created by Matt Groening, the mastermind behind The Simpsons, and it first aired in 1999. The series is set in the retro-futuristic 31st century and follows the adventures of Philip J. Fry, a late-20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy who is cryogenically frozen for a thousand years and wakes up in the future.
The show's diverse cast of characters is one of the reasons why it has become so popular. Philip J. Fry, voiced by Billy West, is a likable and relatable protagonist who provides the audience with a fresh perspective on the future. Fry's curiosity and sense of humor make him an excellent guide through the strange and wonderful world of Futurama. The show also features a host of other memorable characters, including Bender, a sarcastic and heavy-drinking robot played by John DiMaggio, and Professor Farnsworth, the eccentric and often forgetful head of Planet Express, also voiced by Billy West.
As for the plot, Futurama follows Fry as he navigates his new life in the 31st century and finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company. The show combines elements of science fiction, comedy, and adventure to create a unique and engaging viewing experience. Each episode takes the viewer on a new journey through space, where they encounter bizarre alien species, time-traveling mishaps, and much more. With its witty humor, lovable characters, and imaginative storytelling, Futurama is a must-watch for any fan of animated television.
