Today, April 13, 3000, the Planet Express ship visits Vergon 6 just before it’s destroyed by too much mining, saving two of every animal from its surface, including an unusual creature that they name Nibbler (Futurama, s01e04 “Love's Labours Lost in Space”, 1999)
Today, April 9, 2851 is Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth's birthday. To celebrate his 150th birthday, the crew of the Planet Express creates a living obituary honoring his life (Futurama, s02e15 “A Clone of My Own” 1999)
Posted a fun poll over on our Patreon over the weekend so backers could vote on what #Futurama characters they'd like wallpapers of next. I'm totally rooting for Zapp & Kif but who am I kidding? I'm gonna make them all eventually. 😂

Encore un qui a trop regardé #Futurama comme un manuel, plutôt que comme une satire.
I've loved Futurama for so long- I was actually watching on March 28th, 1999 when the pilot episode aired on FOX after the Simpsons, and I've loved it ever since. And Hulu just revived it for a couple more seasons!
I've run a blog on cartoons (https://animatedtvblog.wordpress.com) for 14 years this year, but I realized I've never written up anything on my favorite Futurama episodes, despite loving the show so much, or even had a standalone Futurama-only post on there! I figured I'd change that this year.
I've been rewatching my favorite episodes this week and simultaneously working on a 'top 10 Futurama episodes' post. My top 5 were easy enough to figure out, and then I narrowed a list of 10 more episodes down to just 5 more. Wasn't too tough. Now, to do little write-ups on each, why I love them so much, why they're so rewatchable, etc.
Today, December 31, in 2999, Phillip J. Fry is defrosted in New New York City, having fallen into a cryonic tube at "Applied Cryogenics" one thousand years earlier (Futurama, "Space Pilot 3000", 1999)
How did I go this far not knowing that the voice actor for Ember Island Player Toph is the same guy who voices both Bender and Jake from Adventure Time?! #atla#futurama#AdventureTime
GOOD NEWS everyone, Futurama has been renewed on Hulu after its recent revival (the new episodes were great!) for two more seasons of 10 episodes each, taking it through season 14. Badass.

My #Halloween signpost. The distances and directions to actual locations were measured on a map. (Yes, I’m a nerd.) So far, I have:
Sleepy Hollow (New York)
Halloween Town (The Nightmare Before Christmas, produced in California)
Robot Hell (#Futurama. Bonus points if you know where it is or can decode the alien writing)
Azkaban Prison & Godric’s Hollow (#HarryPotter, somewhere in the North Sea & Great Britain, respectively)
The Futurama Episode That Set The Show's Writers Free From Fox's Terrible Notes (www.slashfilm.com)
Fox seemingly hated Futurama and loaded the creative team with production notes, so the creators opted for a bit of malicious compliance.
