Futurama storys

Futurama is an American animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series follows the adventures of a late-20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who, after being unwittingly cryogenically frozen for one thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century. The series was envisioned by Groening in the mid-1990s while working on The Simpsons; he later brought David X. Cohen aboard to develop storylines and characters to pitch the show to Fox.

When Futurama aired June 24, 2010, on Comedy Central, it helped the network to its highest-rated night in 2010 and its highest-rated Thursday primetime in the network's history. In March 2011, it was announced that Futurama had been renewed for a seventh season, consisting of at least 26 episodes, scheduled to air in 2012 and 2013. The first episode of season 7 premiered June 20, 2012, on Comedy Central.

Due to the uncertain future of the series, there have been four designated series finales. "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", "Into the Wild Green Yonder", and "Overclockwise" have all been written to serve as a final episode for the show. The episode "Meanwhile" currently stands as the show's official series finale.

Katey Sagal voiced Leela, and is the only member of the main cast to voice only one character. The role of Leela was originally assigned to Nicole Sullivan. In an interview in June 2010, Sagal remarked that she did not know that another person was to originally voice Leela until many years after the show first began.

It was originally intended for the Futurama theme to be remixed in every episode. This was first trialled in the opening sequence for "Mars University", however it was realized upon broadcast that the sound did not transmit well through most television sets and the idea was subsequently abandoned. Despite this, beatbox renditions of the theme performed by Billy West and John DiMaggio are used for the episodes "Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV" and "Spanish Fry".

Well, the thing about a black hole - its main distinguishing feature - is it's black. And the thing about space, the colour of space, your basic space colour, is black. So how are you supposed to see them?- Holly, Red Dwarf

Fox ordered thirteen episodes. Immediately after, however, Fox feared the themes of the show were not suitable for the network and Groening and Fox executives argued over whether the network would have any creative input into the show. With The Simpsons the network has no input. Fox was particularly disturbed by the concept of suicide booths, Doctor Zoidberg, and Bender's anti-social behavior. Groening explains, "When they tried to give me notes on Futurama, I just said: 'No, we're going to do this just the way we did Simpsons.' And they said, 'Well, we don't do business that way anymore.' And I said, 'Oh, well, that's the only way I do business.'" The episode "I, Roommate" was produced to address Fox's concerns, with the script written to their specifications. Fox strongly disliked the episode, but after negotiations, Groening received the same independence with Futurama.

Environmentally, common animals still remain, alongside mutated, cross-bred (sometimes with humans) and extraterrestrial animals. Ironically, spotted owls are often shown to have replaced rats as common household pests. Although rats still exist, sometimes rats act like pigeons, though pigeons still exist, as well. Pine trees, anchovies and poodles have been extinct for 800 years. Earth still suffers the effects of greenhouse gases, although in one episode Leela states that its effects have been counteracted by nuclear winter. In another episode, the effects of global warming have been somewhat mitigated by the dropping of a giant ice cube into the ocean, and later by pushing Earth farther away from the sun, which also extended the year by one week.

Believe it or not, its been 25 years since Doug, Rugrats, and Ren & Stimpy debuted on Nickelodeon.  August 11th was the day that would go down in the studio's history that turned things around for them.

In June 2009, 20th Century Fox announced that Comedy Central had picked up the show for 26 new half-hour episodes that began airing on June 24, 2010. The returning writing crew was smaller than the original crew. It was originally announced that main voice actors West, DiMaggio, and Sagal would return as well, but on July 17, 2009, it was announced that a casting notice was posted to replace the entire cast when 20th Century Fox Television would not meet their salary demands. The situation was later resolved, and the entire original voice-cast returned for the new episodes.

When the Ninth Doctor and his companion Rose Tyler travel back in time to the day Rose's father dies, things go awry. By saving her father, Rose creates a paradox that threatens to consume the world. With time running out, the only way to correct the timeline is for Rose's father to die. This time, an adult Rose is with him until the end. Why are our eyes so wet? Is someone cutting onions in here?

Constance Shulman, better known for her role in Orange is the New Black, was also the voice for Patty Mayonnaise in Doug.  She was recruited from, believe it or not, the mayonnaise commercial above.  Good thing horseradish wasn't popular back then.

See All Blog Posts April 17, 2017 The Consequences of Time Travelers Who Meet Their Ancestors Posted by Sandra Gisi Time travel can be a tricky thing. One must avoid paradoxes, black holes, and alternate dimensions. But most importantly you must be careful when meeting your own ancestor. Here are a few fictional characters who learned that very lesson.   Marty McFly - Back to the Future The most notorious time traveler on this list is Marty Mcfly. Sent back in time to 1955, Marty inadvertently becomes the romantic love interest of his teenage mother. Awkward. To fix his timeline and make sure he’s even born, Marty must bring his parents together. With a little rock and roll Marty manages to save the day and himself.       Philip J. Fry - Futurma For a television show set in the future, Futurma sure did travel to the past pretty often. Most famously of course was when Fry travels to 1947 and meets his grandparents. Unfortunately for Fry, this means protecting his grandfather from any harm to ensure his future existence. Talk about pressure. Fry succeeds at ensuring his existence, but at a shocking/disgusting cost.       Kindred - Octavia Butler When Dana finds herself transported back in time, the last thing she expects is meeting her ancestors. This time traveling novel takes place mostly on a pre-civil war plantation. Further complications arise when Dana must protect her loathsome plantation owning ancestor in order to assure her birth. This complicated time travel tale deals with race, gender, and slavery. No one said time travel was always pleasant.         Dr. Who - Father's Day When the Ninth Doctor and his companion Rose Tyler travel back in time to the day Rose's father dies, things go awry. By saving her father, Rose creates a paradox that threatens to consume the world. With time running out, the only way to correct the timeline is for Rose's father to die. This time, an adult Rose is with him until the end. Why are our eyes so wet? Is someone cutting onions in here?     Supernatural - In the Beginning The Winchester brothers have faced many a demon foe. But dealing with your teenage parents…well that's a different matter. In this episode, the brothers are sent back in time to witness their family's secret past. This means fighting an evil demon that wants to kill everyone. Lives are lost and questions are left unanswered, but hey, kicking demon butt is a plus!

While the show has survived cancellation before and may do so again, head writer David X. Cohen claims the staff has written Wednesday’s episode to serve as an official series finale. Thus ends a show that, while only a moderate success ratings-wise, boasted a legion of devoted fans as well as some of the smartest, most creative comedy writers in the business.

First started in November 2000, Futurama Comics is a comic book series published by Bongo Comics based in the Futurama universe. While originally published only in the US, a UK, German and Australian version of the series is also available. In addition, three issues were published in Norway. Other than a different running order and presentation, the stories are the same in all versions. While the comics focus on the same characters in the Futurama fictional universe, the comics may not be canonical as the events portrayed within them do not necessarily have any effect upon the continuity of the show.

Several English expressions have evolved since the present day. For example, the word Christmas has been replaced with Xmas (pronounced "ex-mas"), and the word ask with aks (pronounced axe). According to David X. Cohen it is a running joke that the French language is extinct in the Futurama universe (though the culture remains alive), much like Latin is in the present. In the French dubbing of the show, German is used as the extinct language instead.

In August 2009 Kidrobot released 3-inch vinyl mini figurines of some of the cast. These are sold in "blind" box form and each comes with an accessory. Probability of receiving each of the characters is printed on the side, with two special mystery characters having unknown probabilities. 6-inch versions of some of the figures are also available as limited editions, but these are not sold as "blind" boxes.

Honestly, Fan-o-rama’s only problem seems to be is that it’s too accurate, which is an impressive problem for a fan film to have. There’s no release date for the project, nor is any plot in particular is hinted at, unless we’re meant to take Fry and Bender’s quest for beer at face value. In which case, all conflict is visibly resolved 37 seconds into the trailer. But you can head to the technically official website for updates.
