DAN: 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 31st century. The series was envisioned by Groening in the mid-1990s while working on The Simpsons, later bringing David X. Cohen aboard to develop storylines and characters to pitch the show to Fox. After the show was green-lit, it was subject to numerous production issues and delays, including the departure of the original writing staff, which had been hired by Groening. Nevertheless, Futurama was well received by both critics and audiences, and became one of Fox’s longest-running series. It was nominated for 17 Annie Awards and 12 Emmy Awards, winning seven of the former and six of the latter. Futurama also spawned four direct-to-video films and video game adaptations. The series has been rerun on Adult Swim and Comedy Central in the United States, and on various other networks in other countries. It follows a group of characters who live in the year 3000, and the show often makes jokes about modern culture and technology. The show has been praised for its wit, intelligence, and its ability to blend science fiction and comedy. DAN: It looks like the writers of Futurama are Matt Groening, David X. Cohen, and Ken Keeler. They are the ones responsible for creating the show and its characters.
