More on Futurama
Description from Wikipedia:
Futurama is an animated American sci-fi sitcom created by Matt Groening and developed by Groening and David X. Cohen for the Fox network. The series follows the adventures of a late 20th-century New York City pizza delivery boy, Philip J. Fry, who after being "cryogenically" frozen for a thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the 31st century.
In the United States, the series aired from March 28, 1999 to August 10, 2003 on Fox before ceasing production. Futurama was then aired in reruns on Adult Swim on Cartoon Network, from January 2003 to December 2007, when the network's contract expired. It was revived in 2007 as four straight-to-DVD films; the last of the four was released in early 2009. Comedy Central entered into an agreement with 20th Century Fox Television to syndicate the existing episodes and air the films as new episodes in an episodic format.
Comedy Central began airing Futurama on January 2, 2008, with new episodes starting on March 23, 2008. It was later announced that Comedy Central had picked up the show for 26 new episodes that will begin airing in 2010. Futurama is the second Fox animated series, after Family Guy, to be canceled by Fox, rerun on a cable network, and brought back from cancellation due to successful DVD sales and high cable ratings.
