Profile of Futurama
Futurama can be described as humorous, clever, and witty. The plot revolves around androids and robots, space and aliens, and a "fish out of water". Its comic aspect comes from satire. Futurama's main genres are comedy, animation, and sci-fi. In terms of style, it is futuristic and is surreal. In approach, it is not serious and fantastical. Futurama is set, at least in part, on a distant planet. The TV show has received attention for being an Emmy winner, critically acclaimed, and a cult favorite. It is well suited for teens.
Summary of Futurama
Matt Groenig applied the same sensibility that made THE SIMPSONS a household name to the creation of this science fiction spoof, incorporating hilarious pop culture references and ultra-clever sight gags into its vision of the future. Fry is a hapless pizza delivery boy who accidentally gets himself cryogenically frozen, waking up 1000 years later in the year 2999. He finds himself working for his great-great-great-great-nephew, Professor Farnsworth, as a delivery boy in an intergalactic service. The staff also includes Leela, a feisty cyclops whom Fry befriended when she was still a fate assignment officer, and Bender, a chemically-dependant, suicidal robot. This crew faces countless obstacles in their missions to make their deliveries safely, as the future is a strange and unruly place, filled with odd creatures, new technologies, and strange and hilarious parallels to our own.
