Futurama is an animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening. 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. The show has received critical acclaim throughout its run and was nominated for 17 Annie Awards, winning nine of them, and 12 Emmy Awards.
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.
