"Futurama", after two cancellations, used its breaks to improve the series creatively. The first cancellation led to the creation of four direct-to-DVD movies and a different storytelling approach with more serialized content. Afterwards, the series was renewed for a full fifth season and continued with a different emotional tone, emphasizing character development and sentimental moments.

After a second cancellation, the show returned once again with a new eighth season that picked up where the previous series finale left off, exploring the characters' growth and relationships.
