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 a thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express delivery company, an interplanetary delivery company in the retrofuturistic 31st-century.
The series aired on Fox from March 28, 1999 to August 2003; Cartoon Network's Adult Swim aired reruns of the show from 2002 through 2007. Following a commitment from 20th Century Fox Television to produce four straight-to-DVD Futurama films, Comedy Central announced in June 2006 that they were resurrecting the show and would air the films as new Futurama episodes (reconfiging each film into four episodes) after each film's DVD release.[1][2] Comedy Central began airing Futurama reruns in January 2008 and broadcast the first film in March 2008.[3] Following the four films (considered the fifth season of the show), Comedy Central has broadcast a sixth season of twenty-six episodes, split over 2010 and 2011.[4] A seventh season was announced in March 2011 and is expected to debut in the summer of 2012.[5]
Futurama has broadcast a total of 114 episodes.
The original 72-episode run of Futurama was produced as four seasons; Fox broadcast it out of the intended order, resulting in five aired seasons. This list features the episodes in original production order, as featured on the DVD box sets.

On March 28, 2011, Comedy Central announced that a seventh season of Futurama will be produced.[5] The new season will consist of 26 episodes, split into two parts consisting of 13 episodes. The first 13 episodes will be known as "Season 7-A" and will air in 2012. The last 13 episodes will be known as "Season 7-B" and will air in 2013.[5]
The Futurama video game was released shortly after the airing of the 72nd episode in August 2003. According to David X. Cohen, the half-hour's worth of cutscenes in the game were originally written as "the 73rd episode of the original series."[21] These cutscenes were compiled together (along with footage of the video game being played) and released as a bonus feature on the DVD release of The Beast with a Billion Backs. Renamed Futurama: The Lost Adventure, the episode tells of how the Planet Express crew prevented Mom from using Earth to take over the universe. It is rendered with PS2/Xbox-quality cel-shaded animation.
