In 1999 MTV launched
Downtown
, an animated slice of life show about young people in Manhattan's Lower East Side based on
interviews with non-actors
(
Pilot
part 2
part 3
) created by animator Chris Prynoski (Daria, Beavis And Butt-head, Metalocalypse). Despite an Emmy nomination, the show was cancelled after one season (with one unaired episode). Like so many MTV shows, licensing complications prevented it from reaching DVD,
meaning the only way to watch the show was to e-mail Chris directly
. Until someone
uploaded the entire series to Youtube.
