Tonight at approximately 10 PM EST marked the return of a great lost adult cartoon. Futurama is a show the first premiered in 1999 on FOX. The show is set in the year 3000 and the story features Fry, a delivery boy, getting stuck in a cryogenic pod and being frozen until the year 3000. He finds a job at Planet Express, a moving company, and finds a best friend who happens to be a robot and a love interest in a cyclops. The show follows his adventure into the 31st century and the way a person with a below average IQ would live in those days. The characters include Turanga Leela the cyclops, Bender the robot, Professor Farnsworth, Zoidberg a hilarious crab who's a bad doctor, Amy Wong, Hermes, Zapp Branigan, and Nibbler. The shows history is a bit foggy. It was rudely cancelled by FOX in 2003. Since the show was so beloved with fans, Cartoon Network bought syndication rights for their late-night programming block called Adult Swim. In 2005, Cartoon Network's contract expired and Comedy Central immediately jumped at the opportunity to earn syndication rights that started in 2008. Before Comedy Central was negotiating for the rights to it, they were in talks with FOX of making two or three straight-to-DVD movies. They ended up making 4. In 2009, it was announced that Comedy Central will air 26 brand new episodes of Futurama starting in 2010.
