Production
After its predecessor, What a Cartoon!, Cartoon Network produced an all-new animated short series consisting of overseas shorts, pilots, college shorts, or even shorts created for the show itself.[1] Sunday Pants first aired on October 2, 2005. The anthology varies between different types of animation, from traditional hand-drawn animation, to Flash, or even CGI, similar to shows like MTV's Liquid Television and Nickelodeon's KaBlam!. Michael Ouweleen, co-creator of Adult Swim's Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law served as the show's creative director.
The show has a similar concept to What a Cartoon!, except that the shorts are 1–3 minutes long and the show is squeezed to be 23 minutes (without commercials). There are animated and live-action intervals in-between shorts. The live-action ones are performed by American band The Slacks, while the animated ones are produced by WeFail.[2]
The show lasted for less than a month, with its final airing taking place on October 30, 2005. In January 2006, the show was announced to be returning the month after, but said return never came to fruition and the series was ultimately cancelled. Since the series' cancellation, reruns of Bernard and Monstories aired on Cartoon Network's sister channel, Boomerang, as short-form programming in between shows.

gollark: I don't know.
