Futurama. In the United States, the series aired on Fox from March 28, 1999, to August 10, 2003, before ceasing production.
Futurama was then aired in reruns on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim from 2003 to 2007, until the network's contract expired. It was revived in 2008 as four direct-to-video films; the last of which was released in early 2009. Comedy Central entered into an agreement with 20th Century Fox Television to syndicate the existing episodes and air the films as 16 new, half-hour episodes, constituting a fifth season.[1][2] Production[edit] Development[edit] Fox expressed a strong desire in the mid-1990s for Matt Groening to create a new series, and he began conceiving Futurama during this period. It takes approximately six to nine months to produce an episode of Futurama.[21][22] The long production time results in several episodes being worked on simultaneously.[23] Executive producers[edit] Writing[edit] Voice actors[edit] Animation[edit] Computer-generated explosion.

He enjoys being smart, but he despises having to take classes for gifted children, who are mocked by the other students who call them "Krelboynes" — a reference to the nerdy Seymour Krelboyne of The Little Shop of Horrors. Jane Kaczmarek is Malcolm's overbearing, authoritarian mother, Lois, and Bryan Cranston plays his immature but loving father, Hal. Christopher Masterson plays eldest brother Francis, a former rebel who, in earlier episodes, was in military school, but eventually marries and settles into a steady job.
Justin Berfield is Malcolm's dimwitted older brother Reese, a schoolyard bully who tortures Malcolm at home even while he defends him at school. Younger brother Dewey, a musical genius, is portrayed by Erik Per Sullivan. The Bernie Mac Show.
