Futurama

The setting of Futurama is primarily centered in New New York in the 31st century, a high-tech metropolis built directly on top of the ruins of present-day New York City (now known as "Old New York"). While the surface is a vibrant, retro-futuristic landscape filled with pneumatic transport tubes, hovercars, and suicide booths, the subterranean ruins below serve as a literal sewer and a home for society's outcasts, known as mutants. This "World of Tomorrow" is a satirical reflection of our own, where global warming is managed by dropping giant ice cubes into the ocean, the President of Earth is the preserved head of Richard Nixon, and a career chip determines your life's work the moment you wake up from cryogenic sleep.

The show's scope extends far beyond Earth through the lens of Planet Express, an intergalactic delivery service owned by the eccentric Professor Farnsworth. Using the company’s signature green spaceship, the crew travels across the cosmos to bizarre locations like the moon—which has been converted into a tacky amusement park—and Mars, home to the prestigious Mars University and the sprawling "Mars Vegas." The universe is governed by the Democratic Order of Planets (D.O.O.P.), an inept version of the United Nations, and is populated by a diverse array of life, including alcoholic robots, lobster-like Decapodians, and the ancient, hyper-intelligent Niblonians, all coexisting in a galaxy that is as dangerously incompetent as it is technologically advanced.
