The world knows and loves Matt Groening for his unprecedented and unparalleled work on "The Simpsons." During the Fox Network's ambitious "Animation Domination" initiative, Groening teamed with David Cohen, creating a second hit animated series, "Futurama." Groening and Cohen described their wonderwork as "retrofuturistic," an amazingly apt oxymoron for a working class sitcom set in the thirty-first century. Apparently, blue collar labor will not evolve over the next thousand years: In "Futurama," a late 20th century pizza delivery guy is accidentally cryogenically frozen for a millennium; when he thaws and returns to consciousness, he finds a job at Planet Express, an inter-planetary delivery company. Not especially concerned with science, the writers focus the stories on the workplace trials and tribulations of the three central characters"”Fry, Leela, and Bender. Their future dramas strangely resemble every working person's today dramas. Although "Futurama" has moved up and down the dial, exiting Fox for Cartoon Network, and bidding farewell to Cartoon Network for a new home on "Comedy Central," it has held onto a fiercely loyal audience, and it especially has garnered unprecedented critical acclaim. In 2010, "Futurama" set a Guiness World Record for "Current Most Critically-Acclaimed Animated Series", adding to its eight Emmys and thirteen Annies.
