It was pitched to The WB, who turned it down because they weren't interested in any animation at the time.

The original 2001 pilot was one of several animated shows pitched in the waining days of the prime-time animation boom that happened after ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' and ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' got big. By the time it was green-lit, it had been {{retool}}ed into a shock humor-heavy ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' clone.
