    While we may not have new episodes of Futurama to rely on any more, you better believe we will never stop rewatching our old favourite show. The adventures of the Planet Express crew will never get old, and we can’t imagine a world or a universe in which we’d ever get tired of them. As smart and touching as it was hilarious, Futurama really was one of a kind. And these crazy behind the scenes facts make us love it even more! Like the fact that Billy West voiced not only Fry but pretty much every other beloved cartoon character, or that Farnsworth was named after the guy who invented the TV! How about how all the episodes aired out of order, or how they once got fined for including too many characters in one shot? There’s a real mathematical equation behind the episode The Prisoner of Brenda, Fry is wearing the same outfit as James Dean, Bender can do almost anything AND is named after John Bender from The Breakfast Club. Philip K Fry is named after the amazing voice actor Phil Hartman, the writers have created two alien languages, the binary code seen throughout the show is actually telling us something, there are history jokes everywhere, famous sci-fi sound effects, a whole new direction for Hermes, and a bunch of owls that have taken over New New York! All this and more make up 25 amazing things we never knew about Futurama.
    Check out these other awesome videos!

    As iconic, groundbreaking and trendsetting as The Simpsons has been, Futurama was Matt Groening's best work. The show was smart, the jokes required somewhat of a functioning brain, the characters lovable and BOY could it get you in the feels. (Jurassic Bark. 'Nuff said)

      Dave Smith The future setting gave it a timeless feel, the politics and technology didn’t need to match when the episodes were written. The episodes written to cash in on a superficial trend wound up dating more than the first four seasons. Lolcats, the 2012 prophecy, Susan Boyle, the birther movement, all those episodes and the jokes around them show their age much more.

    One of the things that I love most about Futurama is that incredibly funny lines can come from anyone:
    Bender: "Ya know, I was a God once"
    Galaxy/God Thing: "Yes, I saw, you were doing well until everyone died."
    or
    Nixon: "Hello, Morbo! How's the family?!"
    Morbo: "Belligerent and numerous."
    Such great writing! =D

      It's an homage to Rocky and Bullwinkle, Rocket J. Squirrel. Homer and Bart also have J. in their names.

    Netflix needs to buy Futurama. If we can have Rick & Morty we can have Futurama

    Hachiko was a hero. They built a statue in his honor.

    Great facts. Love the one about Qubert.
    It is also possible that the fact that Al Gore's daughter was a writer for the show was a contributing factor to his appearances

    great video! i LOVE Futurama, and i hope they do bring it back!
    also.. So sad about Phil Hartman. Such a great talent lost.

    One of the better "facts you didn't know about " I've seen. This was a good one. I really miss that show. I was just as excited about this show's debut as I was for the Legend of Zelda: OoT release a few years before, why for? For no raisin, hahaha!

    John Logie Baird invented the first TV in 1925, this television system was mechanical , however Philco Farnsworth developed the all electronic television system.

    Great video, thanks! We still watch Futurama over and over. Unless we are watching something in particular, it just runs in the background all the time. LOL I'm still not ready to let it go.

    I knew most of them, but not all. Thanks for the look back at a great show! I need to go back and revisit those last episodes. I seem to catch only the ones I've seen before on broadcast/cable TV.

      Just google it. I can't remember the name of it but there is a site that has every instance of both alien languages with their translation, what episode it's in, and the time marker that they appear in the episode

    Greatest ending of all time because it just restarts the series all over again. GENIUS. Futurama can never die
