The two spent time researching science fiction books, television shows, and films. When they pitched the series to Fox in April 1. Groening and Cohen had composed many characters and story lines Groening claimed they had gone overboard in their discussions. Groening described trying to get the show on the air as by far the worst experience of my grown up life. Fox ordered thirteen episodes. Immediately after, however, Fox feared the themes of the show were not suitable for the network and Groening and Fox executives argued over whether the network would have any creative input into the show. With The Simpsons, the network has no input. Fox was particularly disturbed by the concept of suicide booths, Doctor Zoidberg, and Benders anti social behavior. Groening explains, When they tried to give me notes on Futurama, I just said No, were going to do this just the way we did Simpsons. And they said, Well, we dont do business that way anymore. And I said, Oh, well, thats the only way I do business. The episode I, Roommate was produced to address Foxs concerns, with the script written to their specifications.

It takes approximately six to nine months to produce an episode of Futurama. The long production time results in several episodes being worked on simultaneously. Executive producerseditGroening and Cohen served as executive producers and showrunners during the shows entire run, and also functioned as creative consultants. Ken Keeler became an executive producer for Season 4 and subsequent seasons. WritingeditThe planning for each episode began with a table meeting of writers, who discussed the plot ideas as a group. The writers are given index cards with plot points that they are required to use as the center of activity in each episode. A single staff writer wrote an outline and then produced a script. Once the first draft of a script was finished, the writers and executive producers called in the actors for a table read. After this script reading, the writers collaborated to rewrite the script as a group before sending it to the animation team. At this point the voice recording was also started and the script was out of the writers hands. The writing staff held three Ph. D. s, seven masters degrees, and cumulatively had more than 5.

Billy West performed the voices of Philip J. Fry, Professor Farnsworth, Doctor Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan and many other incidental characters. West auditioned for just about every part, landing the roles of the Professor and Doctor Zoidberg. Although West read for Fry, his friend Charlie Schlatter was initially given the role of Fry. Due to a casting change, West was called back to audition again and was given the role. West claims that the voice of Fry is deliberately modeled on his own, so as to make it difficult for another person to replicate the voice. Doctor Zoidbergs voice was based on Lou Jacobi and George Jessel. The character of Zapp Brannigan was originally created and intended to be performed by Phil Hartman. Hartman insisted on auditioning for the role, and just nailed it according to Groening. Due to Hartmans death, West was given the role. West states that his version of Zapp Brannigan was an imitation of Hartman and also modeled after a couple of big dumb announcers I knew.

Sagal remarked that she did not know that another person was to originally voice Leela until many years after the show first began. John Di. Maggio performed the voice of the robot Bender Bending Rodrguez and other, more minor, characters. Bender was the most difficult character to cast, as the shows creators had not decided what a robot should sound like. Di. Maggio originally auditioned for the role of Professor Farnsworth, using the voice he uses to perform Bender, and also auditioned for Bender using a different voice. Di. Maggio described Benders voice as a combination of a sloppy drunk, Slim Pickens and a character his college friend created named Charlie the sausage lover. Phil La.
