About Futurama
Futurama follows pizza guy Philip J. Fry, who reawakens in 31st century New New York after a cryonics lab accident. Now part of the Planet Express delivery crew, Fry travels to the farthest reaches of the universe with his robot buddy Bender and cyclopsian love interest Leela, discovering freaky mutants, intergalactic conspiracies and other strange stuff.
How to get through Futurama faster
- Skip the intro. Roughly a minute and a quarter per episode adds up to about 3 hours, 25 minutes across the whole run.
- Bump the speed. At 1.25× the total drops to 62.8 hours; at 1.5× it's 52.3 hours.
- Watch with a comment section. A running conversation pinned to each moment makes long stretches feel shorter, and it's the reason TalkAbtIT exists.
