Downtown (TV Series)

Downtown (TV series)

Downtown is an animated series on MTV on urban life, based on interviews with real people. The show follows a diverse and multiracial cast who live in New York City, and presents their everyday lives through quirky, humorous, and imaginative perspectives from the characters. It was created by Chris Prynoski, a former animator on Beavis and Butt-Head and produced by David McGrath. In 2000, Downtown was nominated for an Emmy in the category of outstanding animated program.

Downtown faced a similar fate to many of MTV's other cartoons - it only lasted one season (13 episodes). The use of an original score rather than licensed music makes a sanctioned DVD release unlikely.
