Season three of Futurama is when the series really begins to hit its sweet spot. It now has enough episodes under its belt that it's figured out the type of show that it is and what style of episodes work best. However, these introductory episodes immediately present strong characters and clever storytelling that surpasses the first seasons of The Simpsons or Disenchanted. Season five marks the end of Futurama's FOX run, but the series clearly isn't out of ideas.
Episodes like "The Farnsworth Parabox" and "Three Hundred Big Boys" are masterpieces of structure and "Jurassic Bark" is a piece of television that still gets singled out as a triumph of the animated medium. Futurama's first "series" finale, "The Devil's Hands are Idle Playthings" is also an excellent momentary goodbye to the series.

The new episodes then demonstrated enough popularity to inspire Comedy Central to pick up the show. Beginning in , Comedy Central ordered and aired two more seasons of Futurama that lasted until Season 7 ultimately proved to be its last, as Comedy Central decided to cancel Futurama for a second, final time, via Wired.
While Futurama was only actually canceled twice, by the time the show said goodbye in , its creators had aired four episodes as potential series finales. While the episode doesn't offer much of a traditional series finale goodbye, fans on Reddit note that its final moments show Fry and Leela walking off into the distance, offering an optimistic end to the show. Another potential finale appears during the last episode of the straight-to-DVD feature Into the Wild Blue Yonder , which saw the Planet Express crew escaping into a wormhole from which they may never escape.
Leela and Fry embrace as the ship, and the show, disappeared into the unknown. The show's third possible finale came at the end of the sixth season, in "Overclockwise," which writes in an open-ended conclusion in case the show never returned. The episode again uses Fry and Leela's future as a goodbye, after an overclocked Bender capable of predicting the future tells them their story has a happy ending. Last but not least the main cast includes Bending Unit Bender which is a robot.
Nice thing about him is that the general idea of a robot is that they are always serving and helping and supporting, but Bender does not. He lies, cheats, steals Then the supporting cast has the cute and horny Chinese or Japanese?
I like Futurama because it creates an unexpected, yet tempting future and combines it with cunning references and a strange comedy style. It's range of poking is 'wider'.. Futurama can turn any depressed mood to a happy mood if just the watcher accepts the fact that show does not require a deep concentration for the whole concept, but likes to catch it slowly by using trivial extras and nicely planted sci-fi references.
This show was one of the best. It's a pity that it was canceled an I pity the fool who canceled it. Such things should continue till the end of time.. Thanks to the makers of DVD, they partially do. Futurama is mandatory for all sci-fi and comedy lovers, and highly recommended for everyone else. FAQ How many seasons are there of Futurama? Who owns the rights to Futurama?
