The Nick Show

The Nick Show is an American computer-animated science fiction comedy-drama sitcom series created by Adam Dahlberg. Serving as a spin-off of The Sky Show, the series is set after the events of The Sky Movie 2 and centers on the titular duo's lives in Los Angeles. Similar to The Sky Show, it exhibited much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American and pop culture. The series premiered on March 17, 2032 and ended on February 24, 2038.
Despite mixed reviews upon its debut, critics were significantly more positive towards the second half of the first season, and the subsequent seasons received widespread critical acclaim. GQ magazine hailed the show as the best of the decade, and IndieWire ranked The Nick Show as the greatest animated television series of all time. The show has been lauded for its realistic take on PTSD, depression, trauma, addiction, self-destructive behavior, racism and the human condition. The series received numerous accolades, including four Critics' Choice Television Awards for Best Animated Series, three Annie Awards and two Writers Guild of America Awards. It also received four Primetime Emmy Award nominations, including two for Outstanding Animated Program.
