Futurama was created by Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons.
The first episode of Futurama aired on Fox, introducing audiences to Fry and the world of the 31st century.
Fox cancelled Futurama after four seasons, due to ratings and scheduling issues.
Comedy Central revived Futurama for new seasons airing from 2010 to 2013.
Season 1 was one of my favorite anime binges in a long time. Such a fun mix of thoughtfulness (movement through time), silliness, and cool scenes (The Ruins of The King's Tomb). I can't wait to watch season 2. I know it's airing as I write this, but I like taking in entire seasons at once if I can manage it.
