Fry after he is cryogenically frozen at midnight, January 1, 2000, and is revived a thousand years later.

The series aired from March 28, 1999 to August 10, 2003. Although Futurama was never officially cancelled, Fox decided not to buy the fifth season, and the program fell apart soon after.

However, on June 22, 2006, Comedy Central officially announced that they have ordered 13 new episodes of the series. Futurama is currently syndicated in many countries around the world.

The name "Futurama" comes from an exhibit from the 1939 New York World's Fair of the same name. The exhibit, designed by Norman Bel Geddes, depicted what he imagined the world to look like in 1959.

The 20th Century Fox logo at the end of each broadcast is altered for this series to read "30th Century Fox", in honor of its subject matter.

Cast and characters

Philip J. Fry (Billy West) — Fry was cryogenically frozen for one thousand years just after midnight on New Year's Day, 2000, reawakening on New Year's Eve, 2999. This makes him 1025 years old chronologically, yet physically he is merely 25. He quickly got a job at Planet Express, which is owned by his closest living relative, Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth, even though he vowed in the first episode to never become a delivery boy, like he was in the years before being frozen. A DVD commentary revealed that Fry was named Philip after Phil Hartman, who was set to play several characters, but died before production began.;

Turanga Leela (Katey Sagal) — Leela is the competent, one-eyed(and latest) captain of the Planet Express Ship. Abandoned at birth, she grew up in an “orphanarium” believing herself to be an alien from an unknown race. She eventually learns from her parents that she is, in fact, a mutant. Her name is a reference to the Turangalîla-Symphonie (1946-1948) by Olivier Messiaen, which, like many of Messiaen's works, features the Ondes Martenot, an electronic instrument similar to the theremin and featured in many science-fiction film scores.; Bender Bending Rodríguez (John DiMaggio) — Bender is a foul-mouthed, alcoholic, cigar smoking, kleptomaniacal, misanthropic, egocentric, ill tempered robot originally built to bend girders. He is Fry's best friend and roommate. He has a dislike of almost all humans and other beings excluding Fry and, to a lesser extent, Leela. Bender sometimes works as the ship's cook, but he primarily "assists" in delivering cargo from ship to planet.; Professor Hubert Farnsworth a.k.a. The Professor (Billy West) — Farnsworth is Fry's distant nephew, though he is in his 160s; biologically, he is older than Fry (although chronologically, Fry is the elder of the two). He founded Planet Express to fund his mad scientist-esque experiments and inventions.; Dr. John Zoidberg (Billy West) — Zoidberg is a lobster-like alien from Decapod 10, and is the staff doctor (of questionable competence) of Planet Express. He speaks with an accent most commonly associated with native Yiddish speakers (in commentaries, Billy West has cited George Jessel and Lou Jacobi as inspirations for Zoidberg's voice), while being generally viewed with amusement and/or derision by his peers at Planet Express. His knowledge of human anatomy and physiology is woefully inadequate. He is penniless (he is under the impression that doctors make very little money, due to the fact that he is grossly underpaid), and usually has to eat the garbage that he finds in a dumpster outside the Planet Express headquarters, or anything else he can scrounge.; Hermes Conrad (Phil LaMarr) — Hermes is the Jamaican manager of Planet Express. A bureaucrat and proud of it, he is a stickler for regulation. Hermes is also a former champion in Olympic Limbo, a sport derived from the popular dance and similar to the track event of hurdling.; Amy Wong (Lauren Tom) — Amy is an over-sexed, blunt, extremely accident-prone intern at Planet Express. She is an engineering student at Mars University. Born on Mars, she is ethnically Chinese and prone to frequently cursing in Cantonese and using 31st century slang. In most episodes in which she is featured, Amy will use an exclamation such as "oops" after making a mistake, but usually changes it slightly, like "bloops," or instead of saying "duh" she'll say "guh," or "spluh.";
