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: http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/d...tml?c=v&t=9076 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. |
