Drawn Together is an American adult animated series and sitcom created by Dave Jeser and Matt Silverstein for Comedy Central. The show premiered on October 27, 2004, and ended on November 14, 2007, after three seasons and 36 episodes. The series is a parody of house-based reality shows such as The Real World, The Surreal Life, and Big Brother, and follows the misadventures of the housemates in the fictional show of the same name and uses a sitcom format with a reality TV show setting.[2]

Drawn Together uses caricatures of established cartoon characters and stock characters. These character traits parody personalities that are typically seen in reality television shows. Comedy Central advertised it as the first "animated reality TV series", and in some episodes the characters participate in challenges that are similar to reality television challenges. This premise is largely dropped in later episodes.

The show was cancelled after three seasons. A direct-to-video film which serves as the show's series finale, The Drawn Together Movie: The Movie!, was released on April 20, 2010.[3]
