Slacker Cats is an American adult animated sitcom that aired on ABC Family on August 13, 2007. The series was created by British writers, Andy Riley and Kevin Cecil, who also served as executive producers along with animation director Seth Kearsley, who designed the characters. It features the voice talents of comedians Harland Williams and Sinbad as Buckley and Eddie, two slacker cats who live in the fictional city of Wendell, California. Slacker Cats is produced by Film Roman alongside Laika.
When the show was first announced, due to an initial lack of information, and its presence on ABC Family, many outlets erroneously believed Slacker Cats was aimed towards children. However, in later advertising and in press kits issued to the media, it was clearly indicated that the show included a more adult tone and themes.[1] The show's 10PM broadcast time further illustrated that its target was an adult audience. It was the fourth adult animated series produced by Disney, the other three being The PJs, which aired on Fox, Clerks: The Animated Series, which aired on ABC, and Clone High, which was a co-production of MTV, Teletoon and Nelvana, and is the only adult animated show from them at the time to not be produced at Touchstone Television, now known as ABC Signature.
Slacker Cats was canceled on September 17, 2007, after six episodes. A second season premiered on the ABC Family website on December 19, 2008, and was released on iTunes and Xbox Live Marketplace.[2] The second season was numbered as a continuation of the first season, episodes 7 through 12.
