| Season chronology | |
The first season of Futurama began airing on March 28, 1999 and concluded on November 14, 1999, after 13 episodes.
The original 72-episode run of Futurama was produced as four seasons; Fox broadcast the episodes out of the intended order, resulting in five aired seasons.[1] As a consequence, the show's canon is disrupted by the broadcast order, and more, different regions and networks use different ordering for the episodes.
The list below features the episodes in original production order, as featured on the DVD box sets.
The entire season is included within the Volume One DVD box set, which was released on March 25, 2003. The last four episodes were pre-empted by sporting events and pushed into the second broadcast season.[2]
The full thirteen episodes of the season have been released on a box set called Futurama: Volume One, on DVD and VHS. It was released in the United Kingdom, on January 28, 2002, in Australia on November 27, 2002 and in the United States and Canada on March 25, 2003. The season was re-released as Futurama: Volume 1, with entirely different packaging to match the newer season releases on July 17, 2012.[3]
