The show was the fourth original program to be created for Creator/NickAtNite [[note]] The others being ''Hi Honey, I'm Home!'', ''Fatherhood'' and ''Hi-Jinx'' [[/note]]. Created in an attempt to bring more animated programing aimed at older audiences to Creator/NickAtNite in a similar vein to Creator/AdultSwim, it underperformed. It only lasted 40 episodes and received mostly negative reviews, citing weak humor, unlikable characters and, for the early episodes, the strange inclusion of a laugh track for an animated program. The show failed to gain good ratings, mainly due to its heavy schedule changes prompted by a parent's complaint to Nickelodeon about the show's content, after catching her daughter watching it directly after WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob|SquarePants}}. These various issues ended up getting the show canned in November 2011. Nickelodeon has thus far not produced any more new animated series for adults.

Created in an attempt to bring more animated programing aimed at older audiences to Creator/NickAtNite in similar vain to Creator/AdultSwim, [[FromBadToWorse the results were less than stellar]]. It only lasted 40 episodes and received negative, if not average, reviews from most critics, mainly due to its weak humor, unlikable characters and its strange inclusion of a laugh track for an animated program (which was thankfully removed in its second season). The show also failed to gain good ratings, mainly due to its heavy schedule changes. One reason why is because a parent complained to Nickelodeon about the show's adult content, after catching her daughter watching it directly after WesternAnimation/{{SpongeBob|SquarePants}}.
