30 Greatest TV Sitcoms Of All Time
18. Futurama
The most cancelled and revived show on the list, Futurama's success stems from its unique blending of genres. At once an adult animation, a sitcom and a sci-fi show, its often dark humour and analysis of human behaviour and interactions has made it a cult favourite series.
From the mind of Matt Groening, the show follows Philip J. Fry (Billy West), a young guy from the 20th century who is frozen and wakes up in the year 3000, and introduces audiences to the iconic characters of Bender, Leela, Amy, Zoidberg and Professor Farnsworth - all brilliant, multi-layered characters who never fail to make you laugh.
Pair a solid group of characters to a series of wacky, odd space adventures, and Futurama is the kind of show that could never be emulated.
Originally cancelled after its fourth season, it was revived in a series of direct-to-DVD films and then picked up for a fifth season, eventually (properly) coming to an emotional and successful end after its seventh season.
A daring, weird and endlessly funny show, Futurama beat all the odds to win the hearts of fans worldwide.
