Futurama celebrates it's 100th episode tonight as the sixth season finale airs!

If you asked me five years ago, after Futurama had been long canceled, whether such a show could possibly reach the 100 episodes mark, I'd have stared slack jawed and asked what you'd been smoking.

While this season has been uneven, the show is considered to be a superior animated show in character, plot, science fiction, and animation quality. The show is the brain child of Matt Groening's geekiness, and at times has surpassed the Simpsons in terms of quality.  It stars Phillip J. Fry(Billy West) as a man frozen on the eve of 1999 and unfrozen in the year 3000. He becomes a delivery boy at his great great tons more great grandson Professor Farsnworth UPS like company. Here is where he falls in love with a cyclops boss Leela Turanga(Katie Segal) and befriends a large metallic bending robot named Bender(John DiMaggio). Oh. And Richard Nixon is the President of Earth.

Futurama first aired on Fox, usually in the 7:30 time slot. It was consistently pre-empted by professional football. In 2003, after five seasons, Fox canceled the program. In 2007, four 80 minute movies were created and split into four episodes a piece to be sold on DVD and aired on Comedy Central. Shortly after, Futurama was resurrected from the grave, and is now getting to air it's 100th episode, a thought unheard of seven years prior. I just hope Futurama doesn't eat my brain being a Zombie Series and all.

Futurama, congratulations on 100 episodes! Just stay away from my brain.

Also, Jersey Shore airs a new episode tonight. I'm fairly certain watching it WILL eat your brains. So if you want to kill your brain cells and effectively make all of America stupid and susceptible to a zombie apocalypse, feel free to tune in as I'm sure those reality stars get drunk and stumble into walls. Just like zombies.
