Geo TV

***Geo TV*** is an American animated sitcom created by Geo G. for the American Broadcasting Company. Originally aired on Fox until it was brought by ABC in June 2000, the show first premiered on December 20, 1998 with the episode "The Geo Life", which led to a series of half-hour episodes. It is based on Geo G's comic series *Geo Comic*. Unlike *Geo's World* and *The Geo Team* and much like *The Simpsons*, *South Park*, *Family Guy* and *Futurama*, *Geo TV* was designed for mature audiences and features cartoon violence, adult humor, running gags and pop culture references.

Geo had began working on *Geo TV* in 1991, teaming up with Terry Ward. To voice the character of Geo Guy, Geo approached himself, like in *Geo's World*. As the title of the show was changed from *Geo Guy, Rico & Eis* to *Geo TV*, the show first appeared on the demo that Geo pitched to Fox on November 2, 1997. That year, Geo submitted an email to the producers at his company, Glass Ball Productions that they were working on a full version of the cartoon, and that they were trying to find a company to produce it.

The series was originally set to premiere in June of 1998 with the pilot they showed to Fox earlier that year, Pilot Pitch, 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, "The Geo Life" on December 20, 1998.

*Geo TV* is a joint production by Glass Ball Productions and 20th Century Fox Television and syndicated by 20th Television

As of May 2016, *Geo TV* was renewed for a nineteenth season.

## Development

The development of *Geo TV* began after the release of *The Geo Team* in 1991. This time, Geo G., teaming up with Terry Ward, decided to make a show based on his comic series *Geo Comic*, thus developing a *Geo Universal* animated sitcom that describes as "a show with the same mature nature as *The Simpsons*." To voice the character of Geo Guy, Geo approached himself, like in *Geo's World* and *The Geo Team*. In 1996, *Geo TV* was first announced under the title of *Geo Guy, Rico & Eis*.

*Geo TV* first appeared on the demo that Geo pitched to Fox on November 2, 1997. That year, Geo submitted an email to the producers at his company, Glass Ball Productions that they were working on a full version of the cartoon, and that they were trying to find a company to produce it.

The series was originally set to premiere in June of 1998 with the pilot they showed to Fox earlier that year, Pilot Pitch, 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, "The Geo Life" on December 20, 1998.

In May 2000, *Geo TV* was initially cancelled by Fox due to poor ratings, but was brought by ABC in June. "Woozy Gets His Own TV Show" was the last episode to be aired on Fox, and "Creepy Body" became the first episode to be aired on ABC. However, *Geo TV* can be aired on Fox in some other countries like the United Kingdom.

In late 2002, Cartoon Network acquired exclusive cable syndication rights to *Geo TV* for a reported ten million dollars. In September 2003, the network began airing *Geo TV* episodes as the centerpiece to the expansion of their Adult Swim cartoon block.

The show's theme song is based off on the SNES game *Super Mario Kart*, in which Geo G. gave credit to Nintendo. Eventually, the theme song is credited as "*Super Mario Kart* Music."
