Crash Canyon is a Canadian animated series which premiered on Teletoon
in Canada and was distributed globally by MTV.It told the story of the
community living at the bottom of a canyon. The Wendell family was
looking for an original holiday by caravan but their trip ends sooner
than expected at the bottom of a canyon in Alberta, Canada. The canyon
walls are too high to climb and there is no way out. Soon they find
out there is a whole community of 29 or 30 survivors from previous
crashes down there. Dollars are not accepted and they use golf tees as
a currency.Crash Canyon launched on September 18, 2011. Joel Cohen, a
Canadian expatriate living in Los Angeles while writing for The
Simpsons, said that creating an animated Canadian show with fellow
expatriates would allow to write "jokes only hosers would get". He
recruited ex-Canadian writers Tim Long of The Simpsons and Chuck
Tatham of How I Met Your Mother to write scripts for the series.
Co-producer and story editor Greg Lawrence said that they have tried
not to put too much emphasis on the family trying to escape the
canyon. "It's not Gilligan's Island where every episode is: 'This week
we're getting off the island.' But we do keep the sentiment alive, so
as you move through the series there are attempts to get out and all
fail."In 2013, Teletoon released a press statement to Bubbleblabber
saying that the network will not be moving forward with a third season
of the series,"Unfortunately a third season of Crash Canyon is not in
our plans at this time." The show ended on March 3, 2013.
