Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaFuturama was the name of the famous General Motors exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair that depicted a futuristic landscape.
- GoofsThe elements Bender claims to be constructed out of change throughout the series (though given Bender's nature, it's possible he's lying). This became an in-joke amongst the writers in later episodes.
- Quotes
Fry: You know the worst thing about being a slave? They make you work, but don't pay you or let you go.
Turanga Leela: That's the only thing about being a slave.
- Crazy creditsThe familiar 20th Century Fox production company logo is shown at the very end of the show, but has been modified to read "30th Century Fox", since the sci-fi series begins in the 30th century. Note however that in the first episode it is a minute before New Year's Eve of the new millennium, and the rest of the episode and the entire series takes place in the 31st century. This is somewhat of an industry joke, since the production company debated for a long time what to do when the year 2000 came around: would they change their name to "21st Century Fox"? Futurama began its first season in 1999, with the pilot's story beginning on December 31, 1999, just before the big decision at 20th Century Fox had to be made. The decision of course, was to drop the century altogether and call the company simply "Fox".
- Alternate versionsOriginally, one episode had a scene where Fry pulls down his pants and moons the business magnate Mom (of Mom's Friendly Robots). Her original dialogue was, "You call that an anus?", but it only appeared in closed captioning and was redubbed with "You call that a pressed ham?".
- ConnectionsEdited into The Lost Adventure (2008)
Featured review
Can be watched till the end of time..
Futurama is the second series by Matt Groening. Now when I was watching The Simpsons one idea was that why we can't see this guy more, why he is only behind a widely known TV series while poking some other people. But with Futurama I say he is (OK, was) unleashed.
Futurama deals with moron pizza delivery boy Fry being accidentally frozen and wake up 1000 years after into a whole new world. Strangely this is not the story of the Fry's adaptation, because he is not. He is still the same stupid guy back in 20th century.. Maybe a little improvement but that's all.. Then we meet Leela, who is the only cyclops alien in the whole galaxy (as far as she knows), orphan, different from others. Last but not least the main cast includes Bending Unit Bender which is a robot. Nice thing about him is that the general idea of a robot is that they are always serving and helping and supporting, but Bender does not. He lies, cheats, steals...
Then the supporting cast has the cute and horny Chinese (or Japanese?) Amy, Fry's great^20 nephew professor Farnsworth with crazy inventions but an unstable mind, doctor Zoidberg that mastered on human medical but not a human itself, Jamaican manager who is a qualified limbo master and denying machine...
I like Futurama because it creates an unexpected, yet tempting future and combines it with cunning references and a strange comedy style. It's range of poking is 'wider'..
Futurama can turn any depressed mood to a happy mood if just the watcher accepts the fact that show does not require a deep concentration for the whole concept, but likes to catch it slowly by using trivial extras and nicely planted sci-fi references.
This show was one of the best. Ever. It's a pity that it was canceled an I pity the fool who canceled it. Such things should continue till the end of time.. Thanks to the makers of DVD, they partially do.
Futurama is mandatory for all sci-fi and comedy lovers, and highly recommended for everyone else.
