:emoji_relaxed: Love it so much that I still watch the re-runs on TV. I know plenty of people who enjoyed it as well. I am surprised that there isn't much talk in this board about this show.

I'll be there, till the stars don't shine
'Til the heavens burst and the words don't rhyme
I know when I die you'll be on my mind
And I'll love you, always
Always

I liked it better on FOX than on Comedy Central. Yeah, it was a good show. Zoidberg, Bender, Fry’s crush on Leela, I loved all of it. Jurassic Bark makes me cry everytime I see it.

Futurama is an American animated science fiction comedy series created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series follows the adventures of a late-20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century after being unwittingly cryogenically frozen for one thousand years. The series was envisioned by Groening in the mid-1990s while working on The Simpsons; he later brought David X. Cohen aboard to develop storylines and characters to pitch the show to Fox.

In the United States, the series aired on Fox from March 28, 1999, to August 10, 2003, before ceasing production. Futurama also aired in reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim from 2003 to 2007, until the network's contract expired. It was revived in 2007 as four direct-to-video films; the last of which was released in early 2009. Comedy Central entered into an agreement with 20th Century Fox Television to syndicate the existing episodes and air the films as 16 new, half-hour episodes, constituting a fifth season.[1][2]

In June 2009, producing studio 20th Century Fox announced that Comedy Central had picked up the show for 26 new half-hour episodes, which began airing in 2010 and 2011.[3][4] The show was renewed for a seventh season, with the first half airing in June 2012 and the second set for mid-2013.[5][6] It was later revealed that the seventh season would be the final season, as Comedy Central announced that they would not be commissioning any further episodes. The series finale aired on September 4, 2013.[7] While Groening has said he will try to get it picked up by another network,[8] David X. Cohen stated that the episode "Meanwhile" would be the last episode of season 7 and also the series finale.[9] A 42-minute audio-only episode featuring its original cast members was released on September 14, 2017, as an episode of The Nerdist Podcast entitled Futurama: Worlds of Tomorrow Presents, RADIORAMA!.[10]

Throughout its run, Futurama has received critical acclaim. The show has been nominated for 17 Annie Awards and 12 Emmy Awards, winning seven of the former and six of the latter. It has also been nominated four times for a Writers Guild of America Award, winning two for the episodes "Godfellas" and "The Prisoner of Benda", been nominated for a Nebula Award and has received Environmental Media Awards for episodes "The Problem with Popplers" and "The Futurama Holiday Spectacular".[11] Futurama-related merchandise has also been released, including a tie-in comic book series, video games, calendars, clothes and figurines. In 2013, TV Guide ranked Futurama as one of the top 60 Greatest TV Cartoons of All Time.
