Uncle Grandpa is an American animated television series created by
Peter Browngardt that ran on Cartoon Network from September 2, 2013 to
June 30, 2017. It is based on Browngardt's animated short of the same
name from The Cartoonstitute. Uncle Grandpa is also a spin-off of
Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, which was in turn a spin-off of the
Cartoonstitute short. It was produced by Cartoon Network Studios.The
show is a surreal action-adventure comedy that relies extensively on
visual gags and catchphrases. Creator Pete Browngardt has cited the
work of cartoonists Don Martin, Gary Larson and Robert Crumb, as well
as Golden Ageâ€"era animators such as Tex Avery and Max Fleischer when
it came to developing the style of the show. Each 11-minute episode is
presented in a unique format, consisting of a main seven- to
nine-minute story, some short bumpers typically composed of a quick
visual joke, and an original short that focuses on the show's side
characters.Cartoon Network renewed the series for the fourth and fifth
seasons: first splitting the second season (of 52 episodes) into two
halves, which respectively became the second and third season, then
also dividing in half the already announced third season into the
fourth and fifth season (of 26 and 23 episodes, respectively), which
served as the final seasons.
