Futurama was a critically acclaimed animated show that aired on Comedy Central from 1999 to 2013. Developed by Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons, Futurama was set in the distant future of the 31st century and followed the adventures of a delivery boy named Fry who was cryogenically frozen and woke up in the year 3000.

The show featured an ensemble cast of talented voice actors including Billy West, John DiMaggio, Katey Sagal, Maurice LaMarche, and Phil LaMarr, among others. West voiced the main character Fry as well as the voices of Professor Farnsworth, Dr. Zoidberg, and Zapp Brannigan. DiMaggio was the voice of Bender, while Sagal played the role of Leela, the ship captain of the Planet Express delivery service.

The humor of Futurama was witty, satirical, and often absurd.

The show was known for its social commentary, often using humor to point out the absurdities of modern life and the dangers of unchecked corporate power.

Despite its acclaim, Futurama was not without its controversies. The show was notorious for its frequent run-ins with network censors, who objected to the show's occasional use of foul language and sexual humor. In addition, the show faced several cancellations and hiatuses over the years, with fans and critics alike calling for its renewal and return to the airwaves.
