Assy McGee
Assy McGee is an American adult animated sitcom created Carl W. Adams and Matt Harrigan for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Adult Swim. The series features a police detective named Assy McGee, a parody of tough cops, who is a walking pair of buttocks. Along with his partner Don Sanchez (modeled after Luis Guzmán), the trigger-happy McGee solves crimes in the town of Exeter, New Hampshire. It ran on Adult Swim from November 26, 2006, to July 6, 2008.
The series revolves around the antics of Assy McGee, an ultra-violent and emotionally disturbed police detective who happens to have no upper torso, head, or arms. With the help of his partner Sanchez (often against the wishes of his superior officers), Assy patrols the streets of Exeter, New Hampshire, although it bears a stronger resemblance to a larger city such as New York City or Chicago.
Cases usually involve outlandish or exaggerated crimes, usually shown in the opening scene. Assy will then be delegated with investigating the crimes, typically doing so by immersing himself into matters that seemingly serve little or no relevance to the crime at hand, until at the end of the episode, it's revealed that the random innocent bystander that Assy has violently accosted has been the culprit all along or another wanted criminal.
Assy is almost always opposed by his chief until his actions are validated. This leads the Chief to inquire as to how Assy could possibly know this person was the responsible culprit, Assy usually affirming that he knew, but without any evidence to support the claim.
The idea for Assy McGee came to co-creator Carl W. Adams around 2005, while working at Soup2Nuts, which had recently been purchased by Scholastic. Adams had previously worked on Dr. Katz, Professional Therapist, and Home Movies, both produced by Tom Snyder Productions (later Soup2Nuts.) Having previously worked with Williams Street on Home Movies, Adams was able to pitch the show to Adult Swim, who agreed to buy it.
After the first six episodes were produced at Soup2Nuts, Scholastic executives became aware of the graphic violence, sexual content and controversial depictions of religion present throughout, and intervened to cancel production of any future episodes, leaving the six completed episodes as season 1.
Scholastic turned over the rights to the intellectual property back to Adams, who then founded Clambake Animation in Watertown, Massachusetts, along with André Lyman and Carrie Snyder, both of Soup2Nuts. Assy McGee was initially Clambake's only project, later going on to develop Southies, also for Adult Swim, as part of their Smalls series.
Assy McGee aired in the 11:30 PM ET Sunday slot for its first season, and in the 12:30 AM ET Monday slot for its second.
