"Futurama"
Hatched from the mind of "The Simpsons" creator Matt Groening, "Futurama" blasts contemporary culture and science fiction alike with an animated comedy barrage.

On "Futurama," hapless NYC pizza guy Philip J. Fry makes a fateful delivery to a cryonics lab on New Year's Eve, 1999 when he's accidentally flash-frozen until the next millennium. Reawakened in 31st century New New York, he finds work on "Futurama" at his great-great-etc. grandnephew's Planet Express delivery service.

Together with his hedonist robot buddy bender and cyclopsian love interest Leela, Fry travels to the farthest reaches of the universe on "Futurama." Along the way on "Futurama," they discover strange alien life forms, velour-clad lotharios, freaky mutants, intergalactic conspiracies and the disembodied heads of celebrities throughout the ages.
