Futurama
American animated sci-fi sitcom
Summary
Futurama is an American animated science fiction sitcom created by Matt Groening for the Fox Broadcasting Company and later revived by Comedy Central, and then Hulu. The series follows Philip J. Fry, a young man who is cryogenically preserved for 1,000 years and revived on December 31, 2999. Fry finds work at the interplanetary delivery company Planet Express, working alongside the one-eyed mutant Leela and the robot Bender. The series was envisioned by Groening in the mid-1990s while working on The Simpsons; he brought David X. Cohen aboard to develop storylines and characters to pitch the show to Fox.

This “adult” show is PG-13-level at worst.
This is highly debatable. Futurama, by far, is family-friendly (just like The Simpsons, Bob’s Burgers, or even Regular Show; a slight bit mature than SpongeBob or Adventure Time). Having a cuss word or a TV-14 rating doesn’t make a show “adult.” Which Family Guy and South Park absolutely ARE because they always go over-the-top and discuss topics that are inappropriate for kids and most teens. Futurama is nothing of that sort.
