Comedy World

Comedy World (often shortened to CW) is an animated television series which premiered on syndication on October 5, 1997.

Synopsis
Eric and PC Guy (whose real name is Edward) are always up for adventures, any day, any time.

Development
In March 1992, the series creator Gary Sauls sketched a picture of a very early version of PC Guy slipping on a banana peel. He wrote in cruel handwriting "THE AGONY!!" because he wanted to make a sitcom about a nerd suffering bad luck in his life, but wasn't interested in the concept and abandoned the thought of making a show for almost a year.

In February 1993, Sauls decided to create a children's series mainly intended for boys. So, he thought about creating Comedy Worldbecause "some of the episodes reminds him of his misadventures as a child." CW was also the first show he was going to produce, so he "wanted to see if this cartoon will be a success."

In October 1995, Sauls storyboarded episodes 1-7. The early storyboards were unusual, and some had the sight of blood. "I was out of my mind," Sauls said. "I was in my bedroom for 3 months. It was like being stranded on an island. And all I could do was draw and draw and draw and draw."

In March 1997, Sauls tried to pitch the pilot to several channels, but the executives were unimpressed, so he decided to go with broadcasting it on syndication. The series finally premiered on October 5, 1997.

Ratings

After the show moved to Kids' WB (February 6, 1999), the ratings improved. Although it was doing good on the block, the show moved to Disney Channel on July 29 the next year. The results was the number of ratings increasing more than ever. It was even declared one of the highest rated cartoons, next to SpongeBob SquarePants and Pokemon.
