Futurama, the animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening, aired for seven seasons from 1999 to 2013, gaining a dedicated fanbase and critical acclaim despite its initial cancellation. The show followed the adventures of Philip J. Fry, a pizza delivery boy who is cryogenically frozen and wakes up 1,000 years in the future, where he joins the Planet Express delivery crew and encounters a diverse cast of characters, including the one-eyed alien Leela, the alcoholic robot Bender, and the intelligent lobster Zoidberg. Futurama was praised for its clever humor, satirical commentary, and imaginative world-building, and has been ranked among the greatest animated television shows of all time.
