The Simpsons

by Matt Groening

Homer’s first time travel was part of the fifth Halloween montage in a segment called “Time and Punishment” (aka “Homer’s Time Travel Nightmare”) where each tiny dinosaur he stomps on alters his own life. The next bit I saw was Professor Frink, who built and used the chronotrike in “Springfield Up,” attempting to tell his young self to choose a different career.
Homer: (to self) Okay, don’t panic! Remember the advice Dad gave you on your wedding day.
Grandpa: (in flashback) If you ever travel back in time, don’t step on anything, because even the slightest change can alter the future in ways you can’t imagine.

The Simpsons by Matt Groening (30 October 1994).

Futurama

by Matt Groening

Philip J. Fry never caught my interest the way the Simpsons did, but after surviving a millennium in cryogenic suspension, Philip and his 31st century cohorts do have some wacky time travel, including “The Late Philip J. Fry” wherein the professor’s one-way time machine takes them further and further into futures with a strange resemblance to various sf movie futures.
We are travelers from the past, my good one. Since your time, human evolution has diverged. There are we—advanced in intellect and morality—and the dumblocks—stupid, vicious brutes who live underground.

Futurama by Matt Groening (6 May 2001).

Futurama: Bender’s Big Score

by Ken Keeler, directed by Dwayne Carey-Hill

The oddest thing about the Futurama movie is that in the end all the back and forth in time by Bender and Fry very nearly holds together without paradox, even the origin of the time travel code.

What’s the secret of time travel doing on Fry’s ass?
