Futurama is a television show that ran from 1999 to 2004 on the Fox network and can currently be seen as repeats on Cartoon Network. It was created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen. The show centers on the delivery boy, Fry, who was frozen in the year 1999, only to reawaken in 3000. He soon meets up with his only surviving relative, Professor Farnsworth, and becomes friends with Bender, a mischievous robot, and Leela, a one-eyed beauty. Together, they go on wacky adventures week after week. While no new episodes are being made, recently a Futurama direct-to-DVD film will release.

Futurama was even funnier than The Simpsons in its heyday, and much of what made the series so great was perfectly exemplified by the DVD collection. There's an equal mix of cool sci-fi tales, brilliantly creative humor, and the addition of genuine heart that made this show unbeatable.
