Futurama is an American animated science fiction sitcom. It was created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company and later revived by Comedy Central. The series follows Philip J. Fry, a young man who is cryogenically preserved for 1,000 years and revived on December 31, 2999. The one-eyed mutant Leela and the robot Bender are the main characters of the series.
Futurama is set in New New York at the turn of the 31st century, in a time filled with technological wonders. The city has been built over the ruins of present-day New York City. The Internet is slow and largely consists of pornography, pop-up ads, and "filthy" chat rooms. Television is still a primary form of entertainment.
