Futurama will be an animated series in the 31^st century retro-casted to us, the lowly 21^st century people (and confirmed by TV historians as far back as 1999).

It will star "Fry", a pizza-delivery guy transported 1000 years into the future by cryogenics, and "Lila" an Earth-Mutant who believes she is an alien from another world.  It will also feature "Bender", an alcoholic / kleptomaniac robot, and professor "Farnsworth", an absent-minded genius who is the great great great (etc.) uncle of the aforementioned "Fry".
