Drawn Together
''Drawn Together'' is an American adult animated sitcom created by Dave Jeser and Matt Silverstein and premiered on Comedy Central on October 27, 2004. The series is a parody of '' The Surreal Life'' and follows the misadventures of the housemates in the fictional show of the same name and uses a sitcom format with a reality TV show setting.

In addition, their character traits parody personality types that are typically seen in reality TV shows. Comedy Central advertised it as the first animated reality TV series, and in some episodes, the characters participate in challenges that are similar to reality TV challenges, although the premise is largely dropped in later episodes. After three seasons, the show was cancelled. Subsequently, a direct-to-vi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
