The animated television show "Futurama" takes place 1000 years from the date of the series' creation, with the first episode taking place on Tuesday, December 31, 2999 (with scenes at the start taking place on the same date in 1999). The first two seasons are then set in the year 3000, the final year of the century, and the rest are set in the early 31st century. 20th Century Fox uses a variation of their logo at the end of this show, reading "30th Century Fox Television".

Created by Matt Groening, 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 one thousand years, finds employment at Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company in the retro-futuristic 31st century. The series was envisioned by Groening in the mid-1990's while working on The Simpsons; he later brought David X. Cohen aboard to develop storylines and characters to pitch the show to Fox.

Throughout its run, "Futurama" has received critical acclaim. The show has been nominated for 17 Annie Awards and 12 Emmy Awards, winning seven of the former and six of the latter. It has also been nominated four times for a Writers Guild of America Award, winning two for the episodes "Godfellas" and "The Prisoner of Benda", been nominated for a Nebula Award and has received Environmental Media Awards twice.
