Class of 3000

Anyone remember that show from Cartoon Network? The one done by Andre 3000? It only had two seasons, but still, it was one of those hidden gems during the 2000s.

I can't believe it's been 14 years since that show premiered.

I...I do! I even remember watching it, myself! It had a Devil analogue called Big D.

I vaguely remember watching some episodes. I still mostly can't get over the fact that André 3000 of all people had his own cartoon.

I don't even know about Andre 3000 besides this show, and even then I just remember the distinct character designs.

x2: On a related note to that episode: The album that contains the song "All We Want Is Your Soul" accidentally contains the raw version of the song using Andre's vocals, rather than Lil'D in the actual episode.

According to his interview with The Undefeated for the album's 10th anniversary, rushing out the album caused this accidental "hidden gem".

First full episode I ever watched was "Free Philly"...after that I got invested in the show.

I was kinda wondering where I'd be able to go to see if I could get some people to help out with the page and it's funny/heartwarming/tearjerking stuff. I know a little bit of the lost 3 episodes (Vote Sunny, Kam Inc, Two to Tango), but holy smokes the rest is more than I can cover.

I do. Shame it didn't last very long.

Visually, a very interesting show. Unfortunately, I don't recall the stories being especially noteworthy, and the characters, while positive, all seemed kinda broadly stereotypical.

I know that Ren and Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi directed an episode; Andre 3000 was a big Ren and Stimpy fan.

Oh wow, I had know idea he directed an episode on this series. I didn't expect that

I thought Joe Horne directed every episode.

Further research has shown that Kricfalusi was not a director on The Class of 3000, but was the Art Director for the episode "Home." So sorry 'bout that.
