House of Drake

***House of Drake*** is an American animated sitcom created by Yui Erika for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on a group of nine siblings; Don, Louise, Ben, Jazzy, Fred, Tim, Anna, Simon, and Ed Drake. The show is set in the fictional town of Jacumious City and parodies American culture and society. Although visually similar to Yui's previous animated series *Hallie*, *House of Drake* was designed for mature audiences and features cartoon violence, adult humor, and pop culture references.

Yui had began working on *House of Drake* in 1993, teaming up with Craig Conners at Erika Honey Productions. The studio pitched a seven-minute pilot to Fox in 1994, and the show was greenlit and began production. The series was originally set to premiere in Fall of 1996 with the pilot they showed to Fox earlier that year but the episode was declined to be used by Fox (until it was finally preserved on the season 1 DVD in 2003). The producers of the show then decided to "go ahead" and air another first episode on September 13, 1997. Erika Honey produced the show through its Koopa Shell Studios banner to protect the studio's reputation as a kid-friendly brand.
