10 Reasons Why Home Movies Is One Of The Most Underrated Animated Series of All Time
Overcoming the Odds
Squigglevision may have been an animation style that was cheap and helped to develop Dr. Katz to fame but, it was still undesirable to watch. Add that to a cast of little-known comedians and Home Movies was not received well. A slow start to ratings lead broadcaster UPN to cancel the series after just five episodes.
What could have been the end of Home Movies– like so many shows before and after- the producers persevered, and the show was picked up by Cartoon Network for the nighttime block, Adult Swim. Thanks to CN, Home Movies was able to adapt, dropping Squigglevision, adding new characters, and developing larger story arcs. UPN was much stricter in what could be aired, so the switch ended up being a blessing, giving the Home Movies creative team more freedom in episode development.
"There are also other characters that come and go (also owned by the Warner Bros. Discovery conglomerate media company)."
Huh. Is that just referring to other characters from the show itself, or is this implying that the new season is going to have cameos from other WBD IPs
