Life's a Zoo
Life's a Zoo is a Canadian-Australian adult-oriented stop motion-animated sitcom created by Adam Shaheen and Andrew Horne. It is directed by Alexander Gorelick. A co-production between Cuppa Coffee Studios, TELETOON Canada Inc. and SBS, "Life's a Zoo.tv" was named Best Animated Program or Series at the 24th Annual Gemini Awards. The Show targets adults ages 18 to 34. It premiered on September 1, 2008, on TELETOON's late night programming block, TELETOON Detour (now the Canadian version of Adult Swim). It premiered on Smosh's cartoon-themed YouTube channel, Shut Up! Cartoons on June 23, 2013.
The adult-animated sitcom is a parody of the reality TV series Big Brother, with a similar plot. The seven very different contestants share a mansion "Somewhere in Saskatchewan..." where they compete in challenges to avoid being "extincted" (the adult-animated sitcom's version of elimination), supervised by the adult-animated sitcom's host, Claude the vulture in the first season, and later Bobbie the harp seal in the second season. In the first season, despite being eliminated, characters always come back, as Life's a Zoo.tv doesn't use continuity. However, starting in season two, characters are permanently eliminated. Additionally, each episode features a specially edited music video from a different indie artist from Canada. The show won Best Animated Series at the 24th Gemini Awards in 2009.
The rights to the series were bought by Smosh to be aired on their Shut Up! Cartoons YouTube channel. Most of the show remains the same with the exception of the inclusion of Shut Up! Cartoons intros and outros and notably more censorship of profanity, drug references, and sexual content.[citation needed]
Eventually, the streaming rights were acquired by Lionsgate Studios and are available to watch for free on YouTube uncensored. The series is also available on Tubi and Peacock.
There were plans for a child-friendly spin-off called Pen Pals. The series would have feature Jake and Ray as the main characters. The project has been since been scrapped as references to it were removed from the official Cuppa Coffee Studios website.
