Why drawn together was cancelled

Furthermore, their character qualities mimic personality types commonly observed in reality television shows. The characters participate in challenges that are similar to reality TV challenges in some episodes, but the premise is largely dropped in later episodes.

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. The show was cancelled after three seasons.

Physically, all eight main characters appear in all 36 episodes and the film. Wooldoor, Foxxy, Spanky, and Hero are the only characters that have spoken lines in every episode. He represents the macho egotist among reality TV stereotypes. Hero has the most appearances and character development out of all the characters in the series. The show's visual style is that of traditional ink and paint animation , which is actually a departure for Comedy Central, which usually favors more specialized approaches to animation.

The style was chosen both for the retro feel it gives the show and for the versatility it allows the animators, providing an environment in which it is possible to combine many different styles of animation. Another unique aspect of the show is that, where most cartoons present their characters, though animated, as real within the show's world, the Drawn Together characters retain their identities as cartoon characters even within their animated world. The show also features many cameo appearances by famous characters or in some cases, copyright-avoiding clones from all across the animated spectrum.

In keeping with the various animation styles that form the premises for the various characters, Wooldoor and Toot have four fingers on each hand, whereas Clara, Foxxy, Hero, and Xandir have five. In promotional artwork for the show, Toot and Wooldoor are drawn with the standard five fingers, but in the show itself they have four. Also, whereas most of the characters are drawn with black outlines, Clara and items belonging to her are drawn with soft edges, a reference to Disney animation techniques.

Comedian Adam Carolla rounds out the cast. Members of the show's voice cast have previously collaborated with each other on numerous other projects prior to Drawn Together. According to the DVD commentary for the episode "Hot Tub", the two have known each other since childhood both grew up in Toronto , Ontario.

Originally, Xandir was to have been played by Nat Faxon , but the network forced the creators to fire him following the first table read, feeling his portrayal of the character was too stereotypically gay. They would end up replacing him with Jack Plotnick.

In addition to their regular roles, the show's cast also provides many of the guest voices on the series, Summer, Strong, Harnell, and Taylor in particular.

Chris Edgerly also appears in the majority of Season One and Two episodes despite not having a regular role on the series. Drawn Together has produced 36 episodes. For a list, see List of Drawn Together episodes.
