Pig Goat Banana Cricket (TV series)

Pig Goat Banana Cricket TV Series Pig Goat Banana Cricket (originally titled Pig Goat Banana Mantis) is an American animated television series that airs on Nickelodeon. The series was created by Dave Cooper and J. Ryan. David Sacks will serve as the executive producer for the series. The series premiered on July 18, 2015, in the USA, and on January 6, 2018, in the UK and Ireland. Plot This show features a series of absurd interwoven stories about four friends and roommates, Pig (the fool), Goat (the artist), Banana (the wise-guy) and Cricket (the brain). Voice Cast Matt Jones as Pig Candi Milo as Goat Thomas F. Wilson as Banana Paul Rugg as Cricket Jeff Bennett as Rasta Rat, Pirate Leader, Sleazy Beave, Angler Fish, Mr. Manelli, Ranger Rhino, Pickle Mascot, Time Donut, Doctor, Clerk McGuirk Maile Flanagan as Fat Scout, JR Barton Yuri Lowenthal as JR Sneezy, Prince Mermeow of Catlantis Echo Kellum as Guitar James Urbaniak as Nose Picker Fish Dyana Liu as Tiny Goosey, B-Girl John DiMaggio as Bank Robber, Breakfast Burrito Carl Faruolo as That's Messed Up Son Koala, Broccoli James Adomian as President of the Planet, Mailbox Production Developed from Pig Goat Banana Mantis, a pilot directed by the independent animator Nick Cross, the stories were described by Ryan as difficult to write, given their intertwined nature and the 11-minute running time. This process was smoothened by the running time being doubled and the direction from the network being clarified. The two had to adjust to the studio environment, and described their career in comics as preparing them for production. The series was picked up for a second season prior to its premiere. Ratings for the series were initially favorable. However, ratings began to experience a steep drop mid-season (as an example, the episode "Mall Ya Later" only pulled in 0.79 million viewers) and the last episode aired on Nickelodeon, "It's Time to Slumber Party", was only viewed by 0.95 million viewers. Only the first 20 episodes of the show aired on Nickelodeon. It removed the series from its schedule and the status of the show remained in limbo for 7 months until it was announced in September 2016 that the series would be moved to sister network Nicktoons on September 25, 2016. Reception The pilot, published by Cross, was promoted to a Staff Pick on Vimeo. A writer for Juxtapoz praised the animation, calling it reminiscent for those of "the Ren and Stimpy generation". Andrew Wheeler of Comics Alliance noted that Ryan's billing as "J. Ryan" was likely to separate him from his controversial reputation in the underground comix scene. Heidi MacDonald of the Comics Beat wrote that it looked "wonderful".
