History[]
Very little is known about the series or its production history. The shows credits list Dave Drabik and Andrew Benator as creators and Fine Line Productions, Turner Studios and Williams Street as the show's production companies.
The series received almost no promotion, other than brief mentions in the Bumps and a listing on the schedule, it did not appear on Adult Swim's online streaming video service and does not appear anywhere else on the Adult Swim website. When it aired, it was buried at 4:00 A.M. for each night it aired.
The first and only season premiered on September 4, 2012 and ended after four episodes on September 7, 2012. The show's status is in question, as it has been more than a year since the first season ended. Adult Swim has never spoken of the series in updates and it is believed to be cancelled. All 4 episodes did eventually come to Adult Swim's online streaming service, and are now available to watch at anytime (not having expiration dates unlike most Adult Swim shows).
