Based off of Ice Cube’s Friday trilogy- that is soon to be revisited in 2018- Friday: The Animated Series is one of many projects on this list riding on the success of other popular media. Created and produced by Ice Cube himself, the series was made for New Line Television, a subsidiary of Friday distributors, New Line Cinema. The shows premise was based loosely on the titular films, following Craig and Smokey’s struggling misadventures in South Central L.A.

Premiering on MTV2 in 2007, the show was short-lived, airing just eight episodes under one month. While the series gained significant attention early from the films dedicated fan-base, without key cast members included in the voiceovers the show failed to captivate audiences.
