Only Futurama Timeline with 1986 – 2024

20th Century?

  • The Stupid Ages. (Alternate First)
  • Fry’s era is referred to as the Stupid Ages more than once in the series. No dates are given, but the 20th century seems stupid enough to me (Alternate First)

1988 AD

  • Fry hides his lucky seven-leaf clover from his brother. (Possibly for Alternate First)
  • Fry falls through the ice before ice fishing with his father and catches a cold. (Possibly for Alternate First)

  • Fry fails to win the Nerd Search ’88 Science Competition, which is won by Josh Gedgie. (Possibly for Alternate First)
  • Josh Gedgie’s winning science experiment is launched into space. Years later, it will be dumped on Saturn‘s dump moon. (Possibly for Alternate First)
  • February 1328 – The 1988 Winter Olympics are held in CalgaryAlberta, Canada/What Hermes will later describe as a “legendary Jamaican bobsled team” first competes in the Winter Olympics. This is historical fact, which is not to be confused with the slightly fictionalised account given in the movie Cool Runnings.

1989 AD

  • June 16 – The film Ghostbusters II is released, tarnishing the previously well-regarded Ghostbusters franchise. (“This number has been lame since 1989”)

1997 AD

  • Last known power failure at Applied Cryogenics/Applied Cryogenics: No power failures since 1997″. Despite this failure and the previous one, Applied Cryogenics will actually maintain continuous power – or at least avoid critical outages – through war, barbarism and alien invasions for the next 1003 years. (Alternate First)
  • HAL 9000, the subject of Calculon’s one-man show HAL 9000, comes online in Urbana, Illinois. (Alternate First)

1998 AD

1999 AD

  • Nibbler is assigned as Supreme Fuzzler for a Nibblonian scientific outpost on the planet Vergon VI, where he will remain assigned for a further thousand years. Over the following centuries, Nibblonians consume many of the planet’s animal inhabitants and gradually fill the planet’s core with dark matter. (Alternate First)
  • Fry spills beer on the control console at New York FOX station WNYW, knocking Single Female Lawyer off the air. (Possibly Alternate First)

    • evening – Nibbler orders a pizza to be delivered to Applied Cryogenics, using the pseudonym I. C. Weiner.
    • 11:35pm – Fry leaves Panucci’s to deliver Nibbler’s pizza, leaving Seymour to wait for him outside. This scene occurs in more than one episode, but “Jurassic Bark” is the first time a clock is visible.
    • 11:??pm – Nibbler’s chauffeur, Digby, lands them on the roof of Applied Cryogenics.
    • slightly before midnight – Nibbler hides underneath the desk that Fry will sit at as the new millennium rolls in, intending to deliberately make Fry fall in the cryogenics tube, so that in the future (specifically, the episode “The Why Of Fry”) he can defeat the evil brains on behalf of all intelligent life. An alternate version of Fry arrives from an alternate future in which he failed to defeat the brains. He delivers to Nibbler the dire warning, “Scootie-Puff Junior sucks!” before disappearing. The alternate Fry’s interference has no lasting effect on the timeline until the events of “The Why Of Fry” in 3002 or so.

At that exact instant, Digby (who is also in the room) remembers that he left his spacecraft on the roof unlocked, and locks it remotely using his key fob. These four musical tones and the response from the ship are the last things Fry hears before being frozen.
    • Seconds into the new year, Philip J. Fry is cryogenically frozen  due to the actions of Lord Nibbler/his future self. 
    • Using a time code tattooed on his ass, Fry returns from the year 3007 back to New York and lives in the upstairs storage room of Panucci’s Pizza.  Bender also travels back in time to kill Fry but loses him.
