Futurama is an American animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening. The series follows Philip J. Fry, who is cryogenically preserved for 1,000 years and revived on December 31, 2999. It was created by Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company and later revived by Comedy Central, and then Hulu. The show received critical acclaim throughout its run and was nominated for 17 Annie Awards 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.
