S10E13 Meanwhile Episode

Meanwhile

"Meanwhile" is the 26th and final episode of Futurama's seventh season and is the series finale. The episode premiered on September 4, 2013, on Comedy Central, along with a talk show special called Futurama Live that was aired prior to and following the episode. "Meanwhile" was written by Ken Keeler and directed by Peter Avanzino. As the conclusion to the series, the episode revolves around the romantic relationship between Fry and Leela. In the episode, Professor Farnsworth invents a button that allows the user to travel backwards in time by 10 seconds. However the button is stolen and abused by Fry, who wants to use it to prolong the moment of his marriage proposal to Leela. Due to the recurrently uncertain production status of Futurama, "Meanwhile" is the fourth episode written to serve as an ending to the series. It follows "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", "Into the Wild Green Yonder" and "Overclockwise", all of which were also written by Ken Keeler.
