Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Created by Larry Wilmore pre-Daily Show, this was his proving ground for the race/class comedy that would define his career. Eddie Murphy's involvement got it greenlit; his disappearing after season one helped kill it.
The claymation was done by Will Vinton Studios — yes, the California Raisins people — at a brutal pace of one episode per month.
