10 Best Animated Sci-Fi TV Shows Of All Time

Although Futurama has a large fanbase, it somehow still never got the credit it deserved. Having been cancelled twice in its on-and-off 21st century run, the sci-fi comedy was often eclipsed by other bigger, outspoken animation shows.

But at its heart, Futurama is one of the smart, funniest animated shows ever produced. The world building of the year 3000 is fully realised and imaginative. The humour is able to create satire on life in the 20th century whilst still poking fun at its own contemporaries.

Being a show that often deals with outer space and different species of the world, the series has a genuine understanding of the laws of science and is able to use it to its advantage by producing some exciting action-packed episodes.

But Futurama is just as much of a comedy as it is a tragedy. Several episodes have tugged at the heartstrings of viewers as we watch a young man slowly deal with his completely new life away from his old family and friends. Comical, heartfelt and often clever, this is one who show which will remain a classic for the ages.
