"Meanwhile" is the twenty-sixth and final episode of the seventh season of the American animated television series Futurama, the 140th episode of the series overall and the finale of the second run. The episode was written by Ken Keeler and directed by Peter Avanzino. It premiered on Comedy Central in the United States on September 4, 2013, along with Futurama Live, a special preshow and aftershow for the occasion. Set in a retro-futuristic 31st century, the series follows the adventures of the employees of Planet Express, an interplanetary delivery company. Originally written as a conclusion to the series, the episode revolves around the romantic relationship between Philip J. Fry and Turanga Leela. Its plot revolves around Professor Farnsworth's latest invention – a device that allows the user to travel back in time by ten seconds. This thing soon becomes stolen and abused by Fry, who wants to use it for his marriage proposal to Leela. "Meanwhile" was the fourth episode written to serve as a series finale to Futurama. It follows "The Devil's Hands Are Idle Playthings", Futurama: Into the Wild Green Yonder and "Overclockwise", all of which were additionally written by Ken Keeler. "Meanwhile" was watched by 2.21 million people in its original broadcast, making it the fifth most watched episode ever to originally air on Comedy Central, and it received acclaim from television critics. Following this episode's airing, the characters only subsequently appeared on The Simpsons crossover "Simpsorama" on November 9, 2014, until the series returned on Hulu for a new season in 2023, with "The Impossible Stream", which picks up directly after the events of "Meanwhile".
