Reception[]

The special was initially successful, with four of the five pilots being greenlit for new series. However, only three series made it to television, and two of the new series were canceled after their first seasons ended.

Fat Guy Stuck In Internet[]

Fat Guy Stuck In Internet was greenlit for a full season, which debuted on June 22, 2008 and ended August 17, 2008. The show was poorly received, and was not renewed for a second season.

Let's Fish[]

Let's Fish was the only pilot not to be greenlit for a full season, due to the cast's previous commitments to Moral Orel and Metalocalypse.

Superjail![]

Superjail! was greenlit for a full season, which debuted on September 28, 2008 and ended on December 7, 2008. Superjail! was the most successful of the three series as it ran for a further three seasons and ended on July 20, 2014.

That Crook'd 'Sipp[]

That Crook'd 'Sipp was greenlit for a full season, but the show never aired. After being greenlit, the idea for the show was scrapped. Eventually, the idea was reworked, and eventually became the special Freaknik: The Musical, starring Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and T-Pain, which aired March 7, 2010.

The Drinky Crow Show[]

The Drinky Crow Show was greenlit for a full season, which debuted on November 23, 2008 and ended January 25, 2009. The show received mixed reviews, and, after a few months, Adult Swim declined to renew it for a second season.
