| Futurama is an Emmy nominated, animated series created by Matt Groening
for the Fox Network. Groening also created the hit series, The
Simpsons. Futurama follows Philip J. Fry after he is cryogenically
frozen at midnight, December 31, 1999, and is revived a thousand
years later in the year 2999. The series, created by Matt Groening
(creator of The Simpsons ) and David X. Cohen and produced by
The Curiosity Company for the Fox Network, aired from March
28, 1999, to August 10, 2003. The story line revolves around
the escapades of an "Intergalactic Delivery Boy" named
Fry. The characters include Bender, a smartass robot; Leela,
captain and pilot of the "Planet Express Delivery Ship;"
Nibbler, Leela's Nibblonian pet; and mad scientist, Professor
Farnsworth. The professor designed a future car when he was
young—an Avanti modified for space travel! Groening's drawing
is a conglomeration of the Avanti and 50s
concept cars. Below left: Planet Express; below right, one
