The show was aimed at kids, but is just as enjoyable for adults (if not ''more'' so) because of its comedic stylings -- and this wasn't an accident. The show's concept was based on a live comedy act that Collins and Dundas performed for adult audiences in the [=1990s=] called ''[=SpeedMouse=]'', revolving around the imaginary remote that would go on to become a trademark of the show. The show got off the ground after the two were approached by producers from Sesame Workshop who felt that the remote would lend itself to a family show. The goal that the two had in developing the show was to make an "adult show for kids" -- something that would entertain younger audiences but also be "filled with gags that will fly over the heads of little ones and straight into the face of the parent stalking behind them." As this sometimes took the form of DemographicallyInnapropriateHumour, the two sometimes had to fight the censors to keep certain jokes in.

''The Upside Down Show'' is a live-action children's TV series that features a mix of SurrealHumor, miming, puppetry, slapstick, and renditions of every sound effect possible. It was produced by Blink Films and Creator/SesameWorkshop for the Creator/{{Noggin}} channel, where it aired from October 13 to November 13, 2006.

The show is set in an odd apartment building where every door leads to a wide variety of bizarre rooms. It features [[Creator/TheUmbilicalBrothers David Collins and Shane Dundas]] as two brothers named [[TheDanza David and Shane]] who live in the building with their sidekick Puppet, their neighbor Mrs. Foil, and a group of fuzzy creatures called the Schmuzzies. In each episode, the brothers journey to a new place and take many wrong turns. To help them reach their destination, David gives the viewers an imaginary remote control that affects the characters and their surroundings.

Noggin cancelled the series in June 2007 after just one season of 13 episodes. In 2010, the creators finished a script for ''[[https://www.facebook.com/UmbilicalBrothers/posts/301846205745 The Upside Down Movie]]'', a planned special episode that would act as a proper finale. The creators needed support from outside investors to start filming, which never happened. As recently [[https://www.facebook.com/UmbilicalBrothers/photos/a.143618908589/10154484724373590/ as 2017]], Collins has said that he's still looking to get the movie made.
