Drawn Together Cancelled
 
We here at Rough Draft Studios just got word from Matt Silverstein and Dave Jesser, the writers/creators of the show, that Comedy Central has released them from their contracts, allowing them to go on to other jobs, and effectively cancelling the show.

This despite the fact that the show outperforms many of the shows on their network:
From the New York Times-
"In fact, the No. 1 one show for college males in November was Comedy Central’s cartoon show, “Drawn Together.” According to a Nielsen analysis, “Drawn Together” would have had an average audience of about 435,000 18-to 24-year-olds in November. But, since college students were not counted, the Nielsen rating in that age group totaled only 272,000 people that month."
It's hard to imagine what Comedy Central's reasoning is for the cancelation.
There's still 8 episodes out there that are finished and waiting to be aired, including part 2 of the "Lost in Parking Space" episode. Remember that? It was a cliffhanger? Aired last year? Cliffhanger? Remember? Anyway, look for the new episodes in October, we hear.

That was the exact message that I saw, from someone who posted on Comedy Central's Drawn Together message board.

I'm not kidding, people! Here's the link:

I can't tell if this news is going to elate or dissapoint anyone, the show was so shameless in vulgarity that it made South Park look like congress approved political commentary. It's every aspect of pop culture exploited to unconditional effect. Personally, I think it's time it ended, they could'nt have gone farther than they did, but I have to say I really enjoyed it.

Aw man. I actually liked that show, especially in the second season when they stopped trying to be like a reality show and just did their own thing.

It was the only "on after South Park" show I enjoyed. I mean, what have they tried to replace it with? Freakshow? Halfway House? Blech.

Ah well, at least there's 8 more episodes left to see.

Anarky 03-24-2007 09:24 PM

Crap, that show was priceless. I love its crudity. I love it's political incorrectness. I love it!

I really loved what they did. It's a shame to see it go. It's probably the only thing other than South Park I really enjoyed watching on the Comedy Channel since no matter how many times I watch it, it makes me laugh since there are so many pop culture references in there that I didn't pick up on the first time 'round.

Well, I hope they try and blow up the house again. End the series with a "bang"... :evilgrin:

It had it moments, but it typically felt to me like they were constantly trying WAAAAAAAAAAAY too hard.

LogicDonny 03-24-2007 11:30 PM

wHAT!? :x :x :x I loved drawn together.. as much as it can be offensive in some way, the show had funny jokes and crude humor.

It is a shame the show got cancelled.

Maybe they might finish the 3rd season.

Y'know, the fact that Tony Hawk has a carreer made me doubt that there is a God. This happening gave me renewed faith that maybe he was just on the toilet for a while, then finished, looked down, pointed his finger and said, "Enough" at this show. I concur with Doom; it just lost its spark and seemed like it was trying too hard to push the envelope.

I heartily agree with dear Zarius. I liked it. Mostly because of Xander, though. I loved him.

The first season was alright for the most part then it just stopped being funny so good riddance.

CudleyCowlick 03-26-2007 05:28 PM

Well I think they had a good run, though I'll admit I haven't watched much since season one. It was a great season, what with the interracial lesbian kiss song and the handicapped nympho princess episode. Heh.

That's pretty much how I looked at it. I enjoyed season 1, thought the rest was ok.

Starkiller 03-26-2007 07:33 PM

I am gutted that it's ending, but I suppose it's better that it does before the entire concept gets too old.

Dr. Doom 03-26-2007 09:18 PM

S'a little late for that in my opinion.

Spike Spiegel 03-27-2007 06:53 AM

I agree with Doom and KROW. It was a little over the top after the first season. It was ok though...

LogicDonny 03-27-2007 09:52 AM

I remember some of the great Xander stuff.

he runs to help and pulls his costume off having the same costume


he wishes for a black girl who is foxy then he wished for a donkey and a 12 year old girl or something.. kept waiting for it didn't happen.

he zooms out of the roof ramming a car through the wall.

ok..

these are just a few of xander's weird stuff.

Also I am hoping we get to see the remainder of the last few eps of season 3 before they cancel it..

Errr.. You are talking about Captain Hero.

I only saw a few episodes, it had some occasional jokes. The only line I ever laughed at was when they were all getting high on linglings disappointment and they were running out of things to say and resorted to "hey lingling, I've got a penny no I dont."

Halfway House is funnier to me. Sarah Silverman should just get that after SP timeslot permanently though.
