Opening sequence

Description
The Sequence starts with the title Futurama and a caption such as "Live From Omicron Persei 8". The Planet Express Ship flies through the title into New New York. The camera shows different parts of the city until it comes to a large screen which shows a real-life cartoon that differs in each episode. The ship then crashes into the screen. In the first season a short chapter called the Cold Opening appears before the Opening Sequence although this doesn't happen for most of the other three seasons.

Opening Theme
In some episodes the traditional theme is different and sometimes has the cast singing. The accompanying music makes use of the rarely used boobams and tubular bells. People widely regard Pierre Henry's 1967 Psyché Rock to be of great influence for the theme, this tune can be heard on YouTube.

The films
In Bender's Big Score, the opening sequence was largely changed, while it did have the same graphics in the background, it also had introductions of each of the main characters to an alternative music of the normal theme, which had been created for the Futurama game. And since it was a film, there was no information about who created the show on the begin monitor, instead just the film's name. While it cannot be confirmed as of yet, it is likely to assume that the other films will be very similar.
