Pretty much one of the best cartoon television series marketed to an older audience in existence. Created by David X. Cohen and Matt Groening (also the creator of The Simpsons), Futurama is a sci-fi themed comedy about Fry, a lovable, average-Joe and simpleton from the 20th century, being frozen for 1000 years and waking up in a 30th century version of New York, called New New York.
Under strange circumstances he befriends Leela, a one-eyed mutant woman who is stuck-up and opinionated but knows how to kick the living crap out of nearly anyone, and Bender, a sassy, street-wise, trash talking, chain-smoking robot who runs on alcohol. Together, they deliver packages throughout the universe for Planet Express, a delivery company run by Hubert Farnsworth, Fry's only relative in the 30th century, and an elderly, eccentric professor.
The show has tons of laughs, awesome characters, great plots with a surprising amount of continuity for a show of its type. The art and voice talent are also great. The show's characters and setting allows for endless plot opportunities. Its science-fiction but you don't really have to be a fan of the genre to enjoy it.
The show had a decent run, from 1999 to 2003, but most fans can agree that this is not long enough. The show was canceled by Fox, but reruns can be seen on The Cartoon Network in the US and Teletoon in Canada. Fortunately, in a similar fashion to Family Guy, its DVD sales popularity has resurrected the series; Cartoon Network has picked it up and we can look forward to seeing new episodes hopefully in early-to-mid 2008.
