Futurama is a quirky, animated sitcom created by Simpson's mastermind, Matt Groening. It follows the adventures of a pizza delivery man transported far, far into a cosmic future of witty, sarcastic robots and one-eyed femme fatales.

Would "interplanetary golf" really be possible? Why is it that a fossilized dog is really "man's best friend"? What is going on inside Dr. Zoidberg's Freedom Lesson? Why is Bender, in fact, a responsible moral being? Is Death Intrinsically Bad? And what's with the "Seriously Freaked Up Nature of Morality" exhibited in the show?
