Futurama

From Conservapedia

Futurama is an animated television show created by The Simpsons creator Matt Groening. The show is based primarily in year 31st century, following the lives of the workers of the package delivery company "Planet Express". There is a psuedo-futuristic theme to the show, that mixes science fiction with modern day culture.

Characters

Phillip J. Fry or Fry is the show's main protagonist. In the first episode Fry finds himself cryogenically frozen on New Year's Eve 1999, awakening on the same day 1000 years into the future. Fry is often portrayed as thoughtful but stupid, with little common sense and less than perfect social skills, working as Planet Express's "Delivery Boy". He has an ongoing crush for Leela, who is constantly turning him down.
Turunga Leela or Leela is the cycloptic spaceship captain of Planet Express. Her origins are an ongoing theme of earlier episodes. Leela is shown as more responsible and ambitious than other members of her crew, and is skilled in martial arts.
Bender Bending Rodriguez or Bender is a drinking, smoking, stealing, prostitute-hiring, generally amoral humanoid bending-robot. Bender generally is shown to have no regard for other people's feelings, but is often shown to actually care about the people he works with, particularly Fry.
Professor Hubert Farnsworth or The Professor is Fry's only living relative. His role is as the senile and excentric "mad inventor" owner of Planet Express. He seems to hold little or no value to the lives of his crew, and, being over 150 years old, has a very bad memory, and generally exhibits many of the stereotypes of old age. He has a self-cloned "son" named Cubert.
Amy Wong is a Chinese intern at Planet Express. She is portrayed as cute but clumsy, and has very rich parents who own the entire "western hemisphere" of Mars.
Dr. John Zoidberg is a lobster-like humanoid of the "Decapodian" race of aliens, who works at Planet Express as the company doctor. Even though his patients are all human, he shows very little knowledge of human anatomy. Zoidberg is regarded contemtuously by most of the other characters, and is shown to be very poor and often horribly lonely.
Hermes Conrad is the Rastafarian accountant of Planet Express and an ex-Olympic limboer. He works for the "central bureaucracy" and has a wife and a son.

Seasons and films

Currently Futurama has 4 seasons, 1 straight-to-dvd film "Bender's Big Score", and 3 more films in the pipeline. The show was cancelled by Fox after the 4th season, but was brought back due to the success of the show on the DVD format.
