Set in the year 3000, Futurama is the acme of sci-fi animated sitcom from Simpsons
creator Matt Groening. While not as universally popular as The Simpsons, Futurama is equally hip and hilarious, thanks to its zippy lateral-thinking contemporary pop cultural references, celebrity appearances (Pamela Anderson and Leonard Nimoy are among a number of guest stars to appear as disembodied heads in jars) and Bender, a distinctly Homer Simpson-esque robot. Part of Futurama's charm is that with decades of sci-fi junk behind us we've effectively been living with the distant future for years and can now have fun with it. Hence, the series stylishly jumbles motifs ranging from Lost in Space-style kitsch to the grim dystopia of Blade Runner. It also bridges the gap between the impossible dreams of your average science fiction fan and the slobbish reality of their comic reading, TV-gawping existence. Groening himself distinguishes his two series thus: "The Simpsons is fictional. Futurama is real."

The opening series (premiered in 1999) sees nerdy pizza delivery boy Fry transferred to the 31st century in a cryogenic mishap. There, he meets the beautiful, one-eyed Leela (voiced by Married with Children's Katey Sagal) and the incorrigible alcoholic robot Bender. The three of them join Fry's great (x30) nephew Professor Farmsworth and work in his intergalactic delivery service. Hyper-real yet strangely recognisable situations ensue--Fry discovers he is a billionaire thanks to 1,000 years accrued interest, Leela must fend off the attentions of Captain Kirk-like Lothario Zapp Brannigan, and Fry accidentally drinks the ruler of a strange planet of liquid beings. --David Stubbs

|" Standing in the rain with his head hung low |

| Couldn't get a ticket, it was a sold-out show |

| Heard the roar of the crowd, he could picture the scene |

| Put his ear to the wall, then like a distant scream |

| He heard one guitar, just blew him away |

| He saw stars in his eyes, and the very next day |

| Bought a beat up six-string, in a second-hand store |

| Didn't know how to play it, but he knew for sure |

| That one guitar felt good in his hands, didn't take long to understand |

| Just one guitar, swung way down low |

| Was a one way ticket, only one way to go " - Forigner, Juke Box Hero |
