What do you call this era of short-lived adult cartoons?
Pre-gentrification
The era where companies decided that they wanted their own version of The Simpsons and South Park. In a way, this era still hasn't truly ended.
Early Gen X/late baby boomer adult cartoons.Also includes things like Duckman, The Critic, and Baby Blues.These were the the last few kind of oddball adult animated sitcoms that showed up on regular network television like Fox, USA, MTV, and The WB before Adult Swim came along and became the main place for those kinds of shows for core Gen X and early millennials.

>>153087834Slice of life for people who date in their age range
>>153087834Shit that tries to go outside of the mold but ultimately only provides the same level of entertainment as everything that was in that mold.
>>153087834>short lived>The PJsBro, it ran for 3 seasons.
>>153087834Dilbert ran for 30 episodes, that's a decent run compared to Mission Hill and Oblongs who only got 13
>>153088354>>153088362>>153088354They’re short if you compare them to The Simpsons and South Park (Family Guy and Futurama would’ve also been part of that group if they weren’t brought back).
>>153087834"your last fucking chance to make us the next Simpsons or you're OUT"
>>153087834Kino.I wish we never moved past this. It yielded some of the greatest shows of my lifetime.>>153088174Pretty much yeah

>>153088174even as a kid i thought that show was awful
>>153087834the niggas, the cancerthe penispenispenis, the ooblongs.
>>153087834This was just the time when WB and UPN were constantly throwing shit at the wall to see if they could get some of that Simpsons money.
>>153088174Ugly Americans was the last of that time to me.
>>153088174That was the start of the mediocre to bad edgy 2010s sitcoms like Allen Gregory, Neighbors from Hell, Brickleberry, etc.
>>153089604>they're short when compared to the longest running cartoons ever
The Y2K era. Clone High, Baby Blues, Home Movies, Brak Show, Welcome to Eltingville could also be counted as part of this.
>>153092271That one came years later. Not the same era
>>153087834Kino
>>153093667I meant it felt like that era. Glenn Martin was in 2009 so it wasn't apart of it either.
Anyone think the 2000s Oxy commercials also fit this vibe? At least the art style doeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=knsRkszLz0s
