The following is an episode list for the FOX animated television series Futurama. The series began on March 28, 1999 and ended on August 10, 2003. However, four direct-to-DVD movies are soon to be released and will be aired as 16 individual episodes on Comedy Central in 2008. All four original production seasons are available on DVD. The DVD sets were entitled "Season #" in the Region 2 and Region 4 releases; however they were renamed to "Volume #" for Region 1. The Complete Collection DVD set was released on October 25, 2004 in Region 2, and on March 22, 2005 in Region 1.
Futurama was originally created as four seasons; however, FOX originally broadcast it out of the intended order as five seasons. This list is in production order, primarily because this is the order used on the DVDs, as intended by the artists, and it helps avoid plot inconsistencies.
The production code is the code used by FOX to indicate the production order of the episodes, and is in the format #ACV##. The first number represents the production season. ACV is FOX's series code for Futurama. The second number is the episode's number. The TV broadcast code indicates the broadcast order. It is in the format S0#E##, where S0# indicates the broadcasting season of which there were 5, and E## indicates the episode's number.
Futurama's episode ratings in the United States are TV-PG and TV-14. In the UK, some episodes are rated PG but most are rated 12.
