Aeons ago Green, life-giving chi spreads across the universe, catalysing the evolution of all life everywhere. On a distant planet, two species evolve: the Dark Ones, who are evil and set out to exterminate all other life, and the Encyclopods, who defend all life from the Dark Ones and store the DNA of all endangered species for future reference in case they become extinct. Eventually the chi recedes and the Dark Ones exterminate the majority of the universe's biodiversity, including the Encyclopods. Only one Encyclopod egg is left behind, in the form of a violet dwarf star. (5ACV13-16) Into The Wild Green Yonder

1351 BCE Travelling back in time from 3007, Bender steals the sarcophagus and death mask of the Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep III, then hides in the limestone cavern underneath the future location of the Planet Express building until 3007. Wikipedia makes the intended identity of the deceased pharaoh in this episode fairly easy to determine. The actual location of Amenhotep III's burial treasures is, as far as I am aware, unknown, so Bender's actions may fulfill established history in the Futurama universe, or they may not, in which case the paradox is seamlessly resolved by the Time Code.

from 1502 and 1519 Leonardo da Vinci paints the Mona Lisa. Bender, travelling back in time from 3007, steals it while it is unfinished, then hides in the limestone cavern underneath the future location of the Planet Express building until 3007. However, this paradox is resolved by the Time Code and the duplicate Mona Lisa is eventually destroyed. Date is from historical record. Bender remarks facetiously that da Vinci is "unlikely to get as far as The Last Supper", but, as seen above, it is actually already completed. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

17 April 1775 Travelling back in time from 3011, Fry, Leela, Bender and Farnsworth successfully avert the actions of the latter's colonial counterfeiter ancestor David Farnsworth, preserving the Farnsworth family's historical good name and otherwise preserving the outcome of the American War of Independence.

The death year shown is correct, "MDCCCXCVI", but the birth year shown is clearly "MOOCCXXI", a meaningless number in Roman numerals. The correct birth year would be "MDCCCXXXIII". This is presumed to be an animation error, rather than an indication that Alfred Nobel's birth year is something different in the Futurama universe. (7ACV03) Decision 3012

14th August 1974 The New York Mets win this baseball game against the Los Angeles Dodgers, at the exact same instant that Philip J. Fry is born. His father is Yancy Fry; his mother's maiden name was Gleisner but her forename has not been mentioned onscreen. In "Space Pilot 3000", Fry's age is given as 25 on a computer screen on 31st December 2999, which gives us his birth year of 1974. (Chronologically he is 1025 years old at this point, of course, but it is established in "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles" that in the future there are handheld detectors which can tell you your biological age.) However, only sporting references during Fry's birth scene in "Luck Of The Fryrish" narrow down the exact day. Note: Fry's birth date is given as August 9th, 1974 on the script for "Space Pilot 3000", which can be found on the Volume 1 DVD; while widely quoted, this source is not canonical.

slightly before midnight, 31st December 1999 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. (4ACV10) The Why Of Fry

11:58pm, 31st December 1999 Two minutes to midnight, Fry boards the elevator to the Applied Cryogenics floor. (7ACV23) Game Of Tones

Midnight, 1st January 2000 Nibbler's plan proceeds: Fry falls backwards into a cryogenic chamber. 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. (7ACV23) Game Of Tones

12:28:31am, 1st January 2000 An alternate Bender whom we shall dub "Bender-A" arrives from 19 seconds in the future in an alternate timeline. He tells his alternate self, Bender-B, to cover for him while he, Bender-A, visits the bathroom. Bender-A is the original and Bender-B is a duplicate. By interacting with his past self in this way, Bender-A alters history and creates a new timeline. However, this paradox is resolved by the Time Code and Bender-B is later destroyed. The precise seconds are based on the passage of time in the actual scene, which is very close to what is displayed on the screen. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

12:29am, 1st January 2000 Yet another Bender arrives from "way at the end" (1st January 3008) and pastes the Time Code tattoo onto Fry's backside. He then leaves and hides in the limestone cavern underneath the future location of the Planet Express building until 1st January 3008. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

12:30am, 1st January 2000 A version of Fry whom we shall call "Fry-B" arrives from 13th December 2007, escaping death at the hands of the scammers - however, as established above, Bender-B has arrived first and is lying in wait for him. Bender-B threatens to kill Fry-B, then, because of his internal conflict, unsatisfied need to urinate and "doomed time paradox duplicate" status, begins to self-destruct. Bender-A is still on the lavatory at this point. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

12:31am, 1st January 2000 An alternate version of Fry, whom we shall dub "Fry-A", arrives from 1:31am in an alternate future, in order to retrieve free lukewarm pizza. Fry-A arrives just in time to see Fry-B kick the self-destructing Bender-B into a spare cryogenic tube and set the timer for a million years. Fry-A is the original and Fry-B is the duplicate. Fry-B briefly interacts with Fry-A before leaving the cryogenics lab, delaying Fry-B's departure and creating a time paradox. However, this paradox is resolved by the Time Code and Fry-B is eventually killed. Fry-B leaves the cryogenics building just as Bender-A returns from the bathroom, thus evading him. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

12:32am, 1st January 2000 Fry-A falls into the cryogenic tube alongside his frozen self and is again frozen for a thousand years. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

~2:00am, 1st January 2000 Bender bursts in on Fry's former girlfriend Michelle as she is in bed with her latest boyfriend, Constantine. He leaves and continues to stalk Fry. Michelle, as we know from "Space Pilot 3000", just threw all of Fry's stuff out on the sidewalk. In this episode she says this happened roughly two hours ago. Amazingly, this does not create a paradox. Presumably, Michelle and Constantine both assume Bender is some guy in a New Year's costume. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

between ~2005 and 2007? Philip J. Fry's nephew, also named Philip Fry honour of his uncle, is born to Yancy Fry and his wife. (Philip Fry Jr appears to be roughly five to seven years old when Bender accosts him in 2012.) In the original timeline, Philip Fry Jr is named because the original Philip Fry disappeared in 2000 and Yancy Fry misses him. In the current revision of the timeline, this is no longer true, but this paradox is seamlessly resolved by the Time Code. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

2010 By this time, Fry-B is Assistant Director of the New York Aquarium. Leeloo is finally released back into the wild, which Fry-B takes badly; he abandons his job and sets out to the North Pole on a whaling boat to recapture Leeloo. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

2012 Fry-B finally recaptures Leeloo, but she has found a mate in the wild, so he sadly releases her a second time. Fry-B returns to Panucci's Pizza, where Seymour is still waiting for him. Bender blows up the building with Fry-B inside, flash-fossilising Seymour. Fry-B escapes alive, his appearance and voice altered, and realises that he is, in fact, the man he knew as "Lars Fillmore" from the 31st century. He hides inside Michelle's cryogenic tube, resetting the timer for the year 3002. His mission apparently successful, Bender then hides in the limestone cavern underneath the future location of Planet Express until 13th December 3007. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

2208 To get around relativity, scientists increase the speed of light. Note that all existing light continues to move at its original slow pace (otherwise the plot of "When Aliens Attack" falls apart, if nothing else), and that it is never explicitly stated that the scientists in question are from Earth. This is the reason why intergalactic travel is possible in the Futurama universe. Thus, this event probably marks the beginning of real interstellar travel on the part of humanity - and, conjecturally, every other species in the Futurama universe. As a result, first contact between humans and extraterrestrials is quite likely to have occurred almost immediately after this. Read on. Intergalactic travel by any species before this date has not been depicted onscreen. "Roswell That Ends Well" may provide a counterexample but maybe the 1947 end of the temporal wormhole opened up very near to Earth, who knows? (2ACV10) A Clone Of My Own

2200s The Decapodians arrive on Earth. I hypothesise that this occurred shortly after the lightspeed increase in 2208, at which point humanity was probably contacted by every other spacefaring race in the universe more or less simultaneously. Certainly, this is the earliest given example of official contact between humans and aliens ("Roswell That Ends Well" and Nibbler's presence on Earth in "The Why Of Fry" notwithstanding). (1ACV06) A Fishful Of Dollars

2200s The anchovy becomes extinct. This is as a direct result of the Decapodians' arrival above, but could have taken months to decades. (1ACV06) A Fishful Of Dollars

23rd century By this time, Star Trek has become a religion. I think this came about largely as a result of 1) "FTL" travel suddenly proving possible and 2) the universe revealing itself to be crammed with other sentient species. Star Trek was right all along! (4ACV11) Where No Fan Has Gone Before

2200s The Star Trek cast do some musical reunions, but the guy who plays Scotty has trouble yodelling so he is replaced by Welshy. (4ACV11) Where No Fan Has Gone Before

2256 Date on a spear seen in a museum of weaponry. This spear may not be from Earth. (4ACV05) A Taste Of Freedom

2265 to 2270 Time period in which the original series of Star Trek is set. ("It's set eight hundred years in the past!") (4ACV11) Where No Fan Has Gone Before

~2266 Fry's ex-girlfriend Michelle is originally scheduled to be unfrozen this year. In 2012, Lars uses Michelle's cryogenic tube to get back to the 31st century; the timer reads "254 years". (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

2275 The Fairness In Hell Act is passed, requiring the Robot Devil to release a soul (and a solid gold fiddle) from hell if someone can beat him in a fiddle contest. (1ACV09) Hell Is Other Robots

~2302? Dschubba monks begin using a radio telescope to search the skies for God. (3ACV20) Godfellas

2308 Travelling back in time from 3007, Bender steals the 2308 Nobel Peace Prize and he and his fleet of decoy flying saucers demolish the city of New York with lasers. Humanity is partially reduced to barbarism. Bender then hides in the limestone cavern underneath the future location of the Planet Express building until 3007. This is first seen through the window during the thousand-year-sleep montage in "Space Pilot 3000", but the actual events are not revealed until "Bender's Big Score". Bender is fulfilling established history so no paradox is caused by his actions. Note that the Applied Cryogenics building remains intact, with its cryogenically stored occupants still preserved, throughout this period. (1ACV01) Space Pilot 3000

24th century A medieval civilisation arises on the site of old New York. It will later be destroyed by flying saucers. This is first seen during "Space Pilot 3000". No date is explicitly given, but a cop later in the episode suggests "going 24th century" on somebody's "ass". The connection is clear. Note that New New York City was hence built after this time. (1ACV01) Space Pilot 3000

~2511? The common cold dies out, and the human race loses all resistance to it. (6ACV24) Cold Warriors

2600s New Yorkers elect a supervillain governor, who steals most of the world's monuments and puts them on Monument Beach. Several of the monuments seen in this episode, such as the White House and the Leaning Tower Of Pisa, are also seen in their traditional locations in other episodes. This is presumably because they have been rebuilt. (1ACV12) When Aliens Attack

2600? Unsuccessful daily human hunts begin on the robot planet of Capek 9. The events of "Fear Of A Bot Planet" mark the 146,000th unsuccessful daily human hunt in a row. Assuming that episode takes place between April 14, 3000 ("Love's Labors Lost In Space") and August 31, 3000 ("When Aliens Attack"), the first hunt is between July 20, 2600 and December 6, 2600. We don't know how many earlier successful hunts may have been performed, but we do know from the robot elders later in the episode that Capek 9 was founded "over four centuries ago". (1ACV05) Fear Of A Bot Planet

9th April 2841 Hubert J. Farnsworth is born to Ned and Velma Farnsworth (in prison, according to "Overclockwise"). Farnsworth lies that he is ten years younger than he actually is; see below. (2ACV10) A Clone Of My Own

2849 Farnsworth learns to read at the age of 8. (2ACV10) A Clone Of My Own

9th April 2851 Professor Hubert Farnsworth claims to have been born. This is the date given in a biographical movie made by Leela. (2ACV10) A Clone Of My Own

2855 Farnsworth is accepted to MIT at the age of 14, but his parents deny him the opportunity and move him to a peaceful farm instead. Because he is showing symptoms of becoming a mad scientist, they later commit him to a mental institution. (7ACV10) Near-Death Wish

2856 Eloise Porter is born. Again, this is a prisoner of the Near-Death Star about whom we have no information apart from her birth year. (2ACV10) A Clone Of My Own

2865 Sith invasion of Earth. More than 98,000,000 people are killed. (6ACV06) Lethal Inspection

2873 A fog monster attacks New Orleans. This location and era is the setting for Fanny's Gearotica act. (5ACV13-16) Into The Wild Green Yonder

2880 or earlier Farnsworth is released from the mental institution ("I was out within twenty-five years"). (7ACV10) Near-Death Wish

2880? Ogden Wernstrom is born. He is 120 at the time of this episode. (1ACV08) A Big Piece Of Garbage

2881? Farnsworth begins work as a researcher for Mom's Friendly Robot Company. ("Fifty years" and he quit in 2931) Among his inventions is the first robot capable of qualifying for a boat loan. Farnsworth's 43-year robosexual relationship with a female robot named Unit 47 probably began around now. (2ACV10) A Clone Of My Own

2890 Staadgi & Staadgi auctioneers are established. (1ACV06) A Fishful Of Dollars

2901? Ogden Wernstrom, Professor Farnsworth's most promising student (presumably at Mars University), is disgusted to be awarded an A-minus in one of his classes, for poor penmanship, and swears revenge. ("Slightly over 99 years" ago) Farnsworth's day job at Momcorp evidently didn't interfere with his academic work. (1ACV08) A Big Piece Of Garbage

10th April 2912 The Land Titanic is launched from New New York City. (6ACV12) The Mutants Are Revolting

14th April 2912 Four days into its maiden voyage, the Land Titanic strikes a mailbox and sinks into the New New York City sewers. (6ACV12) The Mutants Are Revolting

2922 The classic Harold Zoid silent hologram "A Close Shaving" is filmed. (3ACV08) That's Lobstertainment

2923 or 2924? Bigfoot is born. Seen on the cover of the Nosy Enquirer in 3003 or 3004: "Bigfoot turns 80!" (4ACV15) The Farnsworth Parabox

2924? After 43 happy years, Farnsworth catches his beloved Unit 47 in bed with another robot (who is, ironically, the boat loan robot he himself invented). They separate. Farnsworth hooks up with Mom instead. (6ACV04) Proposition Infinity

2927 The heads of the Yankees from this year will be put in a jar in a Blernsball museum. (3ACV16) A Leela Of Her Own

1:54pm, 17th October ~2927? While 14 geese fly outside the window, Farnsworth invents the modern highly pollutant robot design. ("Seventy-five long years". Since Farnsworth is still with Mom, this event must take place between 2924, above, and 2931, below.) (4ACV08) Crimes Of The Hot

2927 While working for Momcorp, Farnsworth meets John Zoidberg for the first time. Farnsworth contracts what is believed to be dormant, incurable, fatal Tritonian hypermalaria. Zoidberg makes a pact to stay with Farnsworth for as many decades as necessary, in order to mercy-kill him when the hypermalaria symptoms return. (6ACV18) The Tip Of The Zoidberg

13th May 2931? Farnsworth walks out on Mom for the first of three times. ("Seventy years") (2ACV14) Mother's Day

2950? Lando Tucker's son is born. He's 61 by the time of this episode. (6ACV15) Möbius Dick

2961? Planet Express is founded by Hubert Farnsworth, a "shipping and receiving emporium" intended to fund his research (according to "Space Pilot 3000"). His original crew - Candy, Lifter and Lando Tucker - go missing in space on their first delivery, absorbed into the belly of a four-dimensional whale. Only Zoidberg returns alive from this mission. "It's been fifty years since they disappeared" according to the Professor in what is presumably 3011. (6ACV15) Möbius Dick

2962 The Bigfoot video is made. (4ACV17) Spanish Fry

~2968 Melllvar is born. He is 34 at the time of "Where No Fan Has Gone Before", which takes place in 3002. (4ACV11) Where No Fan Has Gone Before

2968 Future Root Two News hovercopter traffic reporter Jim is born. (6ACV04) Proposition Infinity

2971? Turanga Morris marries Munda. Forty years prior to "Zapp Dingbat". (7ACV05) Zapp Dingbat

2972? or earlier Farnsworth is working for Mom Corp. for the third time, having twice before quit and vowed never to work there again (though only one such period is recorded above). A freak accident results in the creation of two metaparticles which transmute all dark matter everywhere into a potent superfuel. Farnsworth is fired but takes one of the metaparticles with him, Mom gets back together with Ogden Wernstrom (her ex-husband), and Mom Corp creates an energy company based on the dark matter. (Farnsworth describes this as "Thirty-odd years ago" in around 3008, which places this event around 2978, but it must also precede the mining of Vergon VI which occurs below, and I trust Nibbler's timekeeping more than Farnsworth's.) Mom only has two children at this time, Walt and Larry, presumably fathered by Wernstrom. But she is secretly pregnant with a third child, Igner, fathered by Farnsworth. (5ACV09-12) Bender's Game

2972? ("Thirty-six years ago... now") DOOP ships under the control of Mom Corp arrive on planet Vergon VI and begin mining the planet's core for dark matter. Mom starts Mom's Friendly Robot Company to manufacture robots for this enterprise. This contradicts "Crimes Of The Hot" (see 2927), where Mom Corp already appears to manufacture robots. (5ACV09-12) Bender's Game

2972? Sheldon and Gwen get married, also start running Romanticorp. ("Thirty years") (4ACV03) Love & Rocket

2973 or 2974 Calculon claims to have been born. Calculon is 27 according to his bio, though he is actually over a thousand years old - see "9th August 1960". (2ACV18) The Honking

29th July 2975? Turanga Leela is born. Her parents are Turanga Morris and Turanga Munda, both sewer mutants. Leela wails, "I don't wanna die at the age of twenty-five!" in "Brannigan Begin Again". Note: Bender is sceptical at this, responding: "Honey, unless we hit a time warp, I wouldn't worry about it!" Note also that at this point Leela has not yet met her true parents, so she cannot know her own birth date or age with much certainty. Most likely she is counting from the date she was abandoned on the doorstep of the Orphanarium, which may post-date her actual birth by as much as a few months. The precise date is revealed during "The Late Philip J. Fry". (2ACV02) Brannigan Begin Again

2975? RobotMania is held for the first time. Bender will compete in RobotMania XXVII - see 3001. (2ACV08) Raging Bender

2976 Camp Rectifier: "Praying On The Weak Since 2976" (6ACV04) Proposition Infinity

2980 At the 2980 Summer Olympic Games, Hermes Conrad witnesses a kid die while attempting to imitate him in the limbo event. Hermes quits competitive limboing. Note: this directly contradicts "Bend Her" - see 2984. (1ACV10) A Flight To Remember

2981? Time when Fry should have filed a request to receive Bender's brain back from Central Bureacracy. ("I want him back right now!" "Then you should have filed a request twenty years ago.") (2ACV11) How Hermes Requisitioned His Groove Back

2983? The tradition of Claw-plach is instituted on Decapod 10. ("A recent tradition, only eighteen years old") (2ACV05) Why Must I Be A Crustacean In Love?

2984 Future teen singer Wendy is born. (3ACV14) Time Keeps On Slippin'

2984 Hermes is beaten in every Olympic limbo event by Barbados Slim. "Twenty years ago". Note: this contradicts the events described in "A Flight To Remember" - see 2980. (4ACV16) Three Hundred Big Boys

2984 or earlier Fry's Holophonor teacher, Mrs. Mellinger, starts taking the joy out of music. ("Over twenty years") (4ACV18) The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings

2989 Cubert is cloned from skin cells scraped from a shapely growth on Farnsworth's back. This was twelve years ago, according to Farnsworth. Note that this means that despite nearly sharing a birthdate, Cubert is biologically around nine months younger than Dwight (below). (2ACV10) A Clone Of My Own

2989 Dwight Conrad is born to Hermes and LeBarbara Conrad. Dwight and Cubert's birthdays fall in the same week. (4ACV06) Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV

2992 Amy Wong is Planet Express's Employee Of The Year. (6ACV10) The Prisoner Of Benda

? Construction of Bender Bending Rodriguez begins in Tijuana, Mexico. Bender originally resembles a baby. Hermes Conrad, currently an inspector at Mom's Friendly Robot Company, inspects Bender when he first rolls off the production line and approves him despite his lack of a wireless backup unit. Later in his "construction" Bender passes through many juvenile stages in his life, as seen (in reverse) during the events of "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles". These events take several years, during which time Hermes quits MomCorp and joins Planet Express. (6ACV06) Lethal Inspection

2993 Hermes Conrad is Planet Express's Employee Of The Year. (6ACV10) The Prisoner Of Benda

2996 Hermes Conrad is again Planet Express's Employee Of The Year. (6ACV10) The Prisoner Of Benda

2996 Bender Bending Rodriguez's construction is completed in Tijuana, Mexico. Although his construction has taken several years, Bender's earliest memory is of this moment, when he emerges fully-constructed from the plant and receiving his original bending robot programming. Bender spends the next few months bending around Europe. The date is shown at Bender's funeral in "Forty Percent Leadbelly". (3ACV06) Bendless Love

2997 Fronty's Meat Market: "Not a front since 2997" (2ACV13) Bender Gets Made

2999? Farnsworth declares himself dead as a tax dodge. ("Three years ago") (3ACV12) The Route Of All Evil

2999? Bender becomes obsolete, presumably due to the release of a new bending unit model. ("My circuitry's 12 years out of date") (6ACV25) Overclockwise

31st December 2999 Philip J. Fry is unfrozen. The second, unseen Philip J. Fry, frozen along with him (see 12:32am, 1st January 2000), freezes himself for a further 7.95 years. Bender correctly notes later in the episode that it is a Tuesday. Note: Fry was not frozen for a full thousand years. He was woken up roughly twelve hours early. There are a number of possible explanations for this: a slightly fast timer on the cryogenics chamber or a slight change in the length of the Earth's day due to events similar to those in "Crimes Of The Hot" are the two most obvious. (1ACV01) Space Pilot 3000

12:00am, 1st January 3000 Leela and Fry first blast into space aboard the Planet Express ship. (1ACV01) Space Pilot 3000

? Farnsworth accepts Bender's license agreement. (6ACV25) Overclockwise

2nd February 3000? Events of "The Series Has Landed". This episode is named "Episode Two: The Series Has Landed" on the DVD box set. The Super Bowl takes place during this episode. These usually occur on the first Sunday in February. During this episode, Bender briefly romances the Crushinator. Some time after this, the Crushinator instead marries Billy West (an identical bending unit to Bender) and they raise a child, both later seen in "The Silence Of The Clamps". (1ACV02) The Series Has Landed

February 3000 Events of "I, Roommate". Fry has "been here for a month" (1ACV03) I, Roommate

13th April 3000 Events of "Love's Labor's Lost In Space". Zap Brannigan claims the stardate is "3000.3" (0.3 of a year is about four and a half months) and then April 13th "point two" (0.2 of a day is just under five hours). With the planet Vergon VI having been mined to the point of implosion, all Nibblonians evacuate, leaving only Nibbler behind. Nibbler is observed dumping new dark matter by Mom, who (unbeknownst to Nibbler or the rest of his race) captures the evacuating Nibblonian ship and enslaves them. By 3008, if this wasn't already the case, the Nibblonian battery farm is the only ready source of dark matter in the universe and Mom has an energy monopoly. Finally the Planet Express crew acquire Nibbler from Vergon VI, shortly before it implodes. (1ACV04) Love's Labor's Lost In Space

3000? Events of "Fear Of A Bot Planet". (1ACV05) Fear Of A Bot Planet

3000 Events of "A Fishful Of Dollars". Fry remarks "Here in the year 3000" during this episode. (1ACV06) A Fishful Of Dollars

1st September 3000 Events of "When Aliens Attack". Labor Day (the first Monday in September) occurs during this episode, which also clearly precedes Nixon's election in November 3000. Earth President MacNeal is killed during this episode, and presumably replaced by his Vice-President. (1ACV12) When Aliens Attack

3000? Events of "Brannigan Begin Again". (2ACV02) Brannigan Begin Again

4th November 3000 Events of "A Head In The Polls". The 3000 world presidential elections take place in this episode. Richard Nixon is the victor. Note: This is, according to a reporter, Nixon's third term as president, which technically violates the Constitution. This in turn means that the whole of Earth is now using the same constitution that America started out with in the 1700s, which in turn means that (in the Futurama universe), sometime between 2000 and 3000, America attacked and conquered the entire world! Nixon's Vice-President, not revealed until "Crimes Of The Hot", is the headless body of Spiro Agnew. An electronic vote-rigging machine from this election will be seen in "Attack Of The Killer App" in 3009ish, by which time it has become outdated and useless. (2ACV03) A Head In The Polls

24th December 3000 Events of "Xmas Story". This is Fry's first Xmas away from home according to somebody (Leela?). (2ACV04) Xmas Story

3000 Events of "The Cryonic Woman". Fry discovers his ex-girlfriend Michelle inside a cryogenic tube set to open in 3002 (see 2012) and unfreezes her early. Lars Fillmore, who is hiding inside the same tube, freezes himself for a further two years. Fry gives the year as 3000 in this episode, putting it out of sequence. However, he also refers to his life "in the year 2000", which is fallacious since he was frozen after only a few seconds of 2000 had elapsed. It's possible that he and Michelle are speaking in general terms. (2ACV19) The Cryonic Woman

3001 Events of "The Honking". Date is from Bender's recently-deceased Uncle Vladimir's gravestone. (2ACV18) The Honking

3002 Lars Fillmore is unfrozen, and takes a job at the New New York City Head Museum. Lars shared a cryogenic tube with Fry's ex-girlfriend Michelle, who, as seen above, was unfrozen separately in 3000. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

3002? Events of "Luck Of The Fryrish". In this episode Leela says to Fry "You guys never had a nuclear war", apparently contradicting herself in "Xmas Story" where she refers to nuclear winter cancelling out global warming. However, when she says "You guys" she is probably referring to the U.S.A. specifically. Certainly (New) New York City was never hit by a nuclear bomb during the 1000-year gap.

3002? Events of "The Cyber House Rules" (3ACV09) The Cyber House Rules

3004 Events of "Where The Buggalo Roam". The native Martians leave Mars (this happened "five years ago" according to Fry in "Into The Wild Green Yonder"). (3ACV10) Where The Buggalo Roam

3002? Events of "Insane In The Mainframe". This is Roberto's first appearance. (3ACV11) Insane In The Mainframe

3002? Events of "The Route Of All Evil". Cubert is still 12 years old in this episode. (3ACV12) The Route Of All Evil

3002? Events of "Bendin' In The Wind" (3ACV13) Bendin' In The Wind

3002 Events of "Time Keeps On Slippin'". News reports show this as the death date of teen singer Wendy. Note: Major temporal kerjiggers go on in this episode, but since the universe seems to be approximately back to normal at the end of it, we can place a year on it. (3ACV14) Time Keeps On Slippin'

3002? Events of "I Dated A Robot". Fry calls this "the year three thousand or so", which is consistent with the temporal confusion caused by the previous episode. (3ACV15) I Dated A Robot

3002 Events of "A Leela Of Her Own". Leela joins the 3002 Mets. A Major League Baseball season normally lasts from the beginning of April to the end of September. (3ACV16) A Leela Of Her Own

3002? Events of "A Pharaoh To Remember" (3ACV17) A Pharaoh To Remember

3002? Events of "Anthology Of Interest 2" (3ACV18) Anthology Of Interest 2

21st September 3002 Events of "Roswell That Ends Well". The Planet Express Ship enters a time warp back to 1947. The date is seen on the wall inside the Planet Express ship. Up until this point the chronological order of episodes is almost exactly the same as the production order. However, episode dates beyond this point are largely indeterminate. (3ACV19) Roswell That Ends Well

? Events of "Godfellas" (3ACV20) Godfellas

? Events of "Futurestock" (3ACV21) Futurestock

? Events of "Leela's Homeworld" (4ACV02) Leela's Homeworld

14th February 3002? Events of "Love & Rocket". Valentine's Day, probably 3002 - see 12th June 3001. Connecting this episode with "The Problem With Popplers" 247 days ago puts this episode out of sequence with the rest of season four. (4ACV03) Love & Rocket

? Events of "Less Than Hero" (4ACV04) Less Than Hero

? Events of "A Taste Of Freedom" (4ACV05) A Taste Of Freedom

3002 Events of "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV". Cubert turns 13 in this episode, having been born in 2989. This is measured from the time Farnsworth scraped some cells from the growth on his back, meaning biologically he is probably closer to 12. Dwight Conrad also turns 13. These facts put the episode out of sequence. (4ACV06) Bender Should Not Be Allowed On TV

? Events of "Jurassic Bark" (4ACV07) Jurassic Bark

? Events of "Crimes Of The Hot". Note that Earth's orbit is increased in radius slightly in this episode, simultaneously easing the effects of global warming and lengthening the year by one week - namely, Robot Party Week. (4ACV08) Crimes Of The Hot

? Events of "Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles". Farnsworth is 161 in this episode, placing it between 9th April 3002 and 8th April 3003. The entire Planet Express crew (Fry, Leela, Amy, Bender, Farnsworth, Hermes and Zoidberg) gets rejuvenated substantially in this episode, explaining their apparently constant ages for at least the next 5-10 years. (4ACV09) Teenage Mutant Leela's Hurdles

? Events of "The Why Of Fry". Fry is sent by the Nibblonians into the evil brainspawn's InfoSphere so that he can destroy it. Thanks to the warning from 31st December 1999, the Nibblonians provide Fry with a Scootie-Puff Senior with which he escapes the InfoSphere before its implosion. (4ACV10) The Why Of Fry

3002 Events of "Where No Fan Has Gone Before". Melllvar hosts Trekfest 3002 on Omega 3. Once again, the specific date in this episode most likely places it out of sequence. It basically looks like the Futurama universe looped through the year 3002 twice. (4ACV11) Where No Fan Has Gone Before

? Events of "The Sting". The Cygnoids from "A Leela Of Her Own" appear very briefly at the funeral in this episode, which places it in 3002 or later. (4ACV12) The Sting

Summer 3004 Events of "Bend Her". The 3004 Olympic Games occur in this episode. (4ACV13) Bend Her

3003 Events of "Obsoletely Fabulous". Roboticon 3003 is held during this episode. At MomCorp, the future of robotics arrives, for the seventeenth year running. Again, out of order. (4ACV14) Obsoletely Fabulous

? Events of "The Farnsworth Parabox". (4ACV15) The Farnsworth Parabox

? Events of "Three Hundred Big Boys". (4ACV16) Three Hundred Big Boys

? Events of "Spanish Fry". (4ACV17) Spanish Fry

3004? Events of "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings". This is clearly chronologically the last Futurama episode before its non-fatal cancellation, and preceding episodes have been dated 3004. (4ACV18) The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings

6th November 3004 Nixon again wins the world presidential election. This is not referred to onscreen, but Nixon is still President in episodes taking place from 3007 onwards. The headless body of Spiro Agnew is likewise re-elected as Vice-President. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

3004? Farnsworth deems Amy's Ph.D. studies complete but neglects to inform her. ("You were ready six years ago!") (6ACV08) That Darn Katz!

3005 The Planet Express Delivery Service is "cancelled" by the Box Delivery Network, though nobody informs the Planet Express crew about this for two years. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

3007? Tonya is born. (She is six years old in this episode.) (7ACV25) Stench And Stenchibility

26th November 3007 or earlier Bender travels back in time from late 3007 to collect a healthy body for Hermes Conrad. He then hides in the limestone cavern underneath the Planet Express building until the "present day". This creates a time paradox which is seamlessly resolved by the Time Code. The duplicate body is eventually destroyed. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

27th November 3007 Events of "Bender's Big Score". This feature-length episode takes place (mainly) in late 3007; it seems logical to assume that its events begin on 27th November 3007, precisely 1000 years after the real-life US release of the "Bender's Big Score" DVD. During this episode, Bender travels back to 1351 BCE, 1509 CE, 2308 CE, and many other eras, retrieving priceless treasures and bringing them to the present day. Many of his trips (e.g. acquiring the sarcophagus of pharaoh Amenhotep III and the 2308 Nobel Peace Prize) fulfill established history because the treasures in question are lost to history; however, equally many (the Mona Lisa, Vincent van Gogh's Self-portrait of Autumn 1887) result in the creation of doomed time paradox duplicates of the artifacts in question. All these duplicates are destroyed by the end of the episode, however, resolving the paradoxes. Bender's head is already 1045 years older than his body due to the events of "Roswell That Ends Well", but during this episode his head and body both accrue a grand total of more than a hundred thousand years of additional age. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

13th December 3007 Having used the Time Code to return to 12:30am, 1st January 2000, Fry is reported dead. However, having frozen himself for a thousand years by accident a second time (12:32am) and then frozen himself for another 7.95 years (31st December 2999), Fry returns to the future and interrupts his own funeral. The Time Code is erased from his butt at this point. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

24th December 3007 By this time the Planet Express crew is destitute and living on the street. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

4:00pm, 27th December 3007 Leela's marriage to Lars is set for this date. Hermes' time-paradox duplicate body is destroyed. Lars realises that he, too is a doomed time-paradox duplicate and calls off the wedding. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

1st January 3008 Nudar, the last surviving scammer, threatens Leela, Fry and Lars in the cryogenics laboratory. To protect Leela, Lars unfreezes Bender-B (see 12:31am, January 1, 2000) and blows himself up along with Nudar. At Lars' funeral, Bender, now in funeral wear, extracts the Time Code tattoo from Lars' butt cheek and travels back to January 1, 2000 one final to paste it onto Fry's ass, completing the Time Code causal loop. Finally, due to overuse of the Time Code, spacetime rips open over Earth. (5ACV01-4) Bender's Big Score

31st January 3008 Events of "The Beast With A Billion Backs". It's day 31 since space ripped open. According to Zap, 3008 is the Year of the Tiger. In the Chinese calendar the first month or two of 3008 are the year of the Hare and the remainder is the year of the Dragon. (5ACV05-08) The Beast With A Billion Backs

3008? Events of "Bender's Game". Cubert still appears to be physically identical to when he was first seen in 3001, and Dwight Conrad also appears not to have aged. Leela says she first met her parents "a few years ago". Farnsworth brings the second dark matter metaparticle ("anti-backwards crystal") back into contact with the first, neutralising all dark matter in the universe and making it useless as an energy source. As seen in the next movie, whale oil is used as a substitute from now on. (5ACV09-12) Bender's Game

3008 Bender robs Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia at gunpoint. ("Last year") (5ACV13-16) Into The Wild Green Yonder

8th November 3008 Nixon again wins the World Presidency. (5ACV13-16) Into The Wild Green Yonder

3008 Langdon Cobb is a guest on Tea With Titans to discuss the bag he wears on his head. (7ACV04) The Thief Of Baghead

3009? The aforementioned McDLT advertisement (see 1985) finally arrives on Thuban 9. ("We just got that commercial last year.") (6ACV08) That Darn Katz!

3009? Zoidberg starts video-dating Zindy. ("For the last four years") (7ACV25) Stench And Stenchibility

3009 Events of "Into The Wild Green Yonder". 3009 is the year of the poker tournament in this episode. The green, lifegiving chi returns to the universe, emanating from a point in deepest space and catalysing great biodiversity in the nearby violet dwarf star system. A single new Encyclopod is born. The Encyclopod exterminates the last remaining Dark One (a Martian muck leech), resurrects all extinct animals in the universe, and mysteriously stores the DNA of the human race. (5ACV13-16) Into The Wild Green Yonder

3009 Events of "Rebirth". This episode picks up just seconds after "Into The Wild Green Yonder" left off. (6ACV01) Rebirth

3009? Events of "In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela". (6ACV02) In-A-Gadda-Da-Leela

3009 Events of "Attack Of The Killer App". While passing this event for the second time in "The Late Philip J. Fry", which takes place in 3010, Farnsworth remarks "one year to go" which places this episode in 3009. (6ACV03) Attack Of The Killer App

3010 "Three thousand and ten is exactly the same as nineteen sixty-two" according to the opening song of this episode. (5ACV13-16) Into The Wild Green Yonder

1st July 3010 Events of "Proposition Infinity". The year number is from Jim's epitaph, the date is Canadian Independence Day according to Amy's calendar. (6ACV04) Proposition Infinity

3010? Events of "The Duh-Vinci Code". The events of this episode last at least six weeks: two weeks with Fry in hospital, another month with him and Farnsworth in transit to planet Vinci, and probably another month for their return journey. (6ACV05) The Duh-Vinci Code

3010? Events of "Lethal Inspection". Bender claims he was "in Italy last week" referring to the events of "The Duh-Vinci Code". Presumably he hung around waiting for Fry and Farnsworth to return. (6ACV06) Lethal Inspection

11:50am, 29th July 3010 Fry wakes up late for work (a little curious since this is a Sunday), having overslept due to Bender having noisy robot sex in the next room. He also arrives late for Leela's (35th?) birthday lunch at Elzar's. He promises to meet Leela for dinner at the Cavern On The Green instead. Cubert inexplicably still looks 13 in this episode, despite having been originally cloned in 2989. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

10:05pm, 29th July 3010 Fry and Bender are roped into testing Farnsworth's new forwards time machine. While Fry records a birthday video greeting for Leela, the machine malfunctions, flinging all three of them into the distant future. Fry drops his greetings card into the timestream. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

10:06pm, 29th July 3010 Fry, Bender and Farnsworth were supposed to arrive here. However, they do not. Leela is again stood up and assumes that Fry joined Farnsworth and Bender at Hedonismbot's bachelor party. Since the party tragically ended in a nuclear explosion, Farnsworth, Bender and Fry are all assumed dead. Leela seizes control of the Planet Express corporation and immediately lays Zoidberg off. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

3030 Leela, now 55 years old, has turned Planet Express into a thriving business... and is making eyes at Cubert, who is now 41. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

3050 Planet Express is a huge and successful corporation. Leela, now 75 years old, has married and then divorced Cubert, who is now seeing Amy. Fry's card falls out of the timestream and Leela discovers the true fates of Fry, Farnsworth and Bender. She visits the (now abandoned) Cavern On The Green and writes a message in pores in the roof of the cave. Over millions of years, the dripping pores will form stalagmites, which Leela hopes Fry will one day return to read. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

4:55am, 3rd December 10,000 Fry, Bender and Farnsworth arrive here instead. By this time, human civilisation has fallen, as have the ape, bird, cow and slug civilisations which followed it. The former site of New New York City is a desolate wasteland. The three time travellers decide to continue into the future in search of a backwards time machine that can bring them home. They visit all of the following future eras: (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

105105 Earth is an icy wasteland ruled by hostile walrus-riding laser Inuit. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

252525 Earth is mediaeval, its sole inhabitant apparently being the ostrich-riding knight from Joust. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

351120 Earth is flooded, and its ocean contains enormous bloodthirsty shrimps. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

1,000,000½ Humankind is enslaved by giraffe. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

5,000,000 Earth resembles the future of H. G. Wells' The Time Machine, with society consisting of hyper-advanced elflike beings and moronic Dumblocks. Fry, Bender and Farnsworth visit this era and are promised a backwards time machine within five years. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

5,000,005 Dumblocks have taken over Earth and there is no backwards time machine. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

10,000,000 Earth resembles the future of the "Terminator" movies, a grim dystopia with humanity at war with genocidal machines of its own creation. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

50,000,000 Earth is a utopian, advanced society populated by gorgeous females. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

8:05am, 3rd December 1,000,000,000 All life on Earth is extinct and there is no backwards time machine. Fry finally returns to the Cavern On The Green, 999,996,990 years late for his dinner date with Leela. He discovers her message written in stalagmites on the ground, then returns to Farnsworth and Bender and they continue on to the end of the universe. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

~1040 Earth has been destroyed, all stars in the universe have exploded and the last protons in the universe have decayed leaving nothing but vast, eternal emptiness.















































































A second Big Bang exactly identical to the first occurs, and an entirely new universe exactly identical to the first arises. This entire timeline repeats itself in every detail from start to finish, with the following addition: (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

1940 or so Farnsworth briefly exits the time machine and assassinates Adolf Hitler, although this seems to have had no lasting effect on the timeline by the 31st century. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

3009 Fry, Farnsworth and Bender attempt to guide in their time machine for a landing. "One year to go!" (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

January 3010 "Six months!" (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

June 3010 "One month!" (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

15th July 3010 "Two weeks!" (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

9:05pm, 29th July 3010 "One hour!" (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

10:04:30pm, 29th July 3010 "Thirty seconds!" Farnsworth falls on the machine and he, Fry and Bender are again plunged into the incomprehensibly distant future. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

10:05pm, 29th July 3010 Offscreen, and unseen, the Farnsworth, Fry and Bender from iteration 2 of the universe begin their own independent journey to circumnavigate the entirety of history. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

~10,000 Farnsworth, Fry and Bender from iteration 1 land here. They then set off into the future again. The entire timeline repeats itself a third time. Iteration 2 of the universe comes to an end...















































































...and is replaced with iteration 3, which is again exactly like iteration 1 but with the following addition: (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

1940 or so Offscreen, and unseen, Farnsworth from iteration 2 briefly exits the time machine and assassinates Adolf Hitler. Meanwhile, Farnsworth from iteration 1 attempts the same assassination, but accidentally kills Eleanor Roosevelt instead. Neither of these have any effect on the future. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

10:04:30pm, 29th July 3010 Offscreen, and unseen, Fry, Bender and Farnsworth from iteration 2 try and fail to land where they originally took off from, and are plunged into the future. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

10:05pm, 29th July 3010 Farnsworth, Fry and Bender from iteration 1 of the universe re-emerge into reality and land on top of Farnsworth, Fry and Bender from iteration 3, killing them all instantly and assuming their identities Fry from iteration 1 makes it to his date with Leela from iteration 3 on time. Meanwhile, Bender buries the bodies. (6ACV07) The Late Philip J. Fry

3010? Events of "That Darn Katz!" Amy obtains her Ph.D. and becomes Doctor Amy Wong. Also, the rotation of the Earth is reversed, now rotating from west to east. (6ACV08) That Darn Katz!

3010? Events of "A Clockwork Origin". (6ACV09) A Clockwork Origin

3010? Events of "The Prisoner Of Benda". Farnsworth is a man "enter[ing] his eighteenth decade" i.e. soon to turn 170 years old. That places this episode between 9th April 3010 and 8th April 3011. (6ACV10) The Prisoner Of Benda

3010 Events of "Lrreconcilable Ndndifferences". The 3010 San Diego Comic-Con takes place during this episode. (6ACV11) Lrreconcilable Ndndifferences

3010? Events of "The Mutants Are Revolting". The Planet Express crew are called upon to make their 100th delivery, which is "almost 10 per year" according to Hermes, meaning that Planet Express has taken just over 10 years to deliver this many packages. Hermes is almost certainly counting from the year 3000. Planet Express was actually founded in 2961 but it is entirely conceivable that the organisation made no successful deliveries until Fry, Leela and Bender joined the crew, and Hermes is counting from their first successful delivery (to the Moon in "The Series Has Landed", set early in 3000). (6ACV12) The Mutants Are Revolting

3010 Leela lends Amy some earrings, which she retrieves during this episode. (7ACV26) Meanwhile

3011? Events of "Möbius Dick". (6ACV15) Möbius Dick

8th August 3011? Events of "Law And Oracle". This episode obviously covers a span of at least a few weeks, but Bender's Maltese Liquor heist takes place "next Thursday 8th" according to the calendar seen on the screen. A year and month aren't specified, but assuming the year is 3011, that can only be 8th August. (6ACV16) Law And Oracle

3011? Events of "Benderama". (6ACV17) Benderama

3011? Events of "The Tip Of The Zoidberg". Farnsworth's Tritonian hypermalaria symptoms reappear, but it turns out to be yetiism, which Zoidberg is able to cure. (6ACV18) The Tip Of The Zoidberg

3011? Events of "Ghost In The Machines". (6ACV19) Ghost In The Machines

3011 Events of "Neutopia". The current year is visible on Victor's wristwatch. It's "five years from now" on Acapulsar, but that's a zoneinfo concern, not one of this timeline. (6ACV20) Neutopia

3011? Events of "Yo Leela Leela". (6ACV21) Yo Leela Leela

3011? Events of "Fry Am The Egg Man". (6ACV22) Fry Am The Egg Man

3011? Events of "Cold Warriors". (6ACV24) Cold Warriors

3011? Events of "Overclockwise". Cubert is still inexplicably 12 years old, despite having turned 13 in "Bender Should Not Be Allowed On Television". (6ACV25) Overclockwise

3011? Farnsworth promises the Planet Express crew new uniforms. (7ACV12) 31st Century Fox

3 November 3012 Events of "Decision 3012". Richard Nixon is again elected President of Earth, having run unopposed. (7ACV03) Decision 3012

3012 Events of "The Thief Of Baghead". "Calculon 2.0" takes place in 3013, exactly one year after this episode. (7ACV03) The Thief Of Baghead

3011 to 3012? Events of "Zapp Dingbat". "Mutants weren't allowed to leave the sewers until last year", referring to the events of "The Mutants Are Revolting", starting this episode off in 3011, but then Fry, Bender and Morris go surfing at Rose Bowl Halftime (1 January), the Rio Carnival (Lent) and St. Patrick's Day (17 March), all presumably in 3012. (7ACV05) Zapp Dingbat

3012? Events of "The Butterjunk Effect". (7ACV06) The Butterjunk Effect

3012 Events of "The Six Million Dollar Mon". Roberto's grave reads "3001-3012". A box marked "Kitchen Records June-August 3012" appears in this episode, presumably placing it in September or later. (7ACV07) The Six Million Dollar Mon
