Welcome back to Channel Chaser! So once again it’s time for a retro TV review, and this week I’ll be taking you on a jaunt into the far future with the FOX cartoon Futurama, a show that is very near and dear to my heart.

Hello everyone, and welcome back to another edition of Channel Chaser! For today’s topic, I’m going to take you through a very short list of what I believe to be the most important shows in the history of television.

Welcome back to Channel Chaser! Recently I’ve been watching a new show called The Last Ship, an apocalyptic drama series on TNT that airs opposite Fallings Skies–a show you’ve already heard me talk about in this column, and not in a good way.
