It is the fourth of the network's.

The series centers on I. Weasel, a smart, beloved and highly successful, and I. Baboon, an unsuccessful, unintelligent who is jealous of Weasel's success and constantly tries to upstage him, usually failing to do so.It was originally a part of from 1997 to 1999, in the first four seasons, often airing as the third of three segments in an episode (except in one occurrence, where it was a second segment between the two other parts). Eventually, I Am Weasel was into its own series: a fifth season with 27 new episodes aired from June 10, 1999, to early 2000 and joined the original 61 which were previously part of Cow and Chicken; the entire series includes 79 episodes overall. Contents.Premise The series chronicles the random adventures of two: I.M.

Weasel and I.R. The first one is a famous, heroic, eloquent, highly intelligent and very talented who always tries to help people out and is thus adored by everybody, constantly shouting his catchphrase 'I am Weasel!' While pointing high in the air before going after help. The latter is his total opposite, an ugly and idiotic who is envious of Weasel's success and constantly tries to do better than he does (also doing a victory dance to express his joy when thinking he's doing so), and failing miserably after all due to his total stupidity.Starting from season two, the Red Guy (Charlie Adler), a main character in Cow and Chicken, also gets that role in I Am Weasel, where he is also referred to as 'I.B. Red Guy', an allusion to Weasel's and Baboon's names. His addition to the series makes him gradually take the role of villain from I.R., who becomes more friendly to Weasel, despite still despising him.As the series progresses, I.M.

Weasel, initially showed as an invincible hero, gradually loses the focus to I.R. Baboon, because people are shown to get gradually dumber. Is finally presented as the true star of the show instead of him.Supporting characters include Loulabelle (, ), Jolly Roger and Admiral Bullets (, ). Many characters from Cow and Chicken make in I Am Weasel from season two, these include: Cow, Chicken (Charlie Adler), Mom, Teacher , Dad , Flem , and Earl. Universe setting While season one does not have any link to Cow and Chicken universe, from season two, I Am Weasel usually happens in the same universe of that show, as its characters (mainly the Red Guy) usually appear, but, in most of the time, in different places. David Feiss, in fact, crosspopulated both series as it made the work easier and he felt it was always the same universe. An episode, though, does present I Am Weasel as a TV show airing in Cow and Chicken world, suggesting another universe, but Weasel and I.R.

Are both taken out of TV after all. The same occurs in another episode, but with the characters in the same universe. Characters. The central characters: I.R.

Former Hanna-Barbera studio building, in, seen here in 2007.Cow and Chicken started out as the pilot episode 'No Smoking' on in 1995, and was to become a series. Cartoon Network demanded a second cartoon to join Cow and Chicken in its half-hour time slot, so David Feiss came up with I Am Weasel, based upon the novel, one of his favorite books as a teenager.

'I was doodling one day, and drew a weasel, with the title 'I Am Weasel', off of one of my favorite books as a teenager, Richard Matheson's I Am Legend. I thought against type, that instead of a weasel who was a weasel, this guy would be smart and heroic'.According to Feiss, the idea for creating the show begun as a single drawing of I.M.

Weasel with the caption 'I Am Weasel' and that suggested many stories to him. The concept for the rivalry between a weasel and a baboon came up from the classic ', where a monkey is said to be chasing a weasel. Also, the fact that the Red Guy doesn't wear panties was controversial for many people, as he said: 'The thing that I never thought that I'd get approval for was the Red Guy. The mere fact that he didn't wear pants was a challenge for a lot of people and I am glad Cartoon Network let it go - he's my favorite character'.Production began around April 1996 and the show was inserted as a series of segments in Cow and Chicken until mid 1999. Right after the end of that show, it was into a new separated series produced until September 16, 1999, with all the previous episodes incorporated and removed from Cow and Chicken.General production took place at the studio of Hanna-Barbera, in, with the series being labeled as part of both the collection of cartoons of that company and Cartoon Network's. Animation production was made overseas by, in. Retooling From season two onward, the show's story, and art style underwent significant changes.

Baboon went on to become gradually more friendly to Weasel and less seen as, as that role was taken over by the Red Guy. From seasons one to three, such as Loulabelle and Admiral Bullets, became less and less seen, completely disappearing from season four.

Many characters from were added as supporting or recurring characters. That was explained by Feiss: 'There was a lot of pressure to complete Cow and Chicken quickly, and I felt that I couldn't dedicate enough time to the second show. But Cartoon Network wanted to spin off Weasel, so we did. I don't really remember asking if I could or could not cross populate the two shows-I just did it because it felt like the same universe, plus I thought it was funny to have the Red Guy in I Am Weasel'.The story started to show more of Weasel's shortcomings and at times allowed him to lapse into a, suffering similar gags as I.R., as opposed of the invincible role he played on season one. Baboon started to become more like a hero than a villain, also taking that role from Weasel in some episodes of season five, leading to the finale, where he definitely turns out as the. The show never truly dropped its premise of Weasel serving to contrast Baboon's stupidity and failures (the very thing that allowed Baboon to usurp him in the final episode as the key piece of the entertainment) and that Weasel retained more than enough intelligence and morality to serve as his defining characteristics, among the cast.The exact same art style of Cow and Chicken is used starting from season two. Season one is a bit different, including the title cards for episodes, which feature animation and Weasel saying the name of the episode with additional commentary and/or events, contrasting with the style also used for Cow and Chicken, with static image.

Humor style Humor relies on comedy and moderate, as typical of many 1990s cartoons, and is based on the existent gap between the central characters, with I.R. Baboon being the center of most, which are mostly about his stupidity and big red butt, though some episodes show I.M. Weasel or the Red Guy also taking this role. Butt jokes are also more frequent when the Red Guy is around and of popular culture and other shows and also take place in some episodes. Despite all the comedic style, important and meaningful messages about friendship, social differences and general lessons for life are given to children through stories or when I.M.

Weasel directly talks to the audience.Season one shows Weasel as a 'perfect' character, not leaving a single shortcoming, and Baboon as exact opposite to this, but that gradually changes throughout the series, with Weasel later starting to show some misbehavior and inefficiency, mostly because he notices people around him are getting dumber, and thus I.R. Even being dimwitted gets a hero status. From season two onward, the Red Guy incorporates the style of humor found in Cow and Chicken, taking the role of villain, but also appearing as a. In season five, Jolly Roger also starts to fill both roles.Some episodes titles make fun of Baboon's misspelling, with grammatically incorrect names such as 'I Are Big Star', 'I Are Good Salesmans' and 'I Are a Artiste'. The titles also tend to reference the name of the show and Weasel's catchphrase, often being written in.The is often broken, mostly at the end of episodes.

The characters do it to make some ending commentaries, give advice to spectators or just call for the end of the episode. Title, credits and music The title sequence features I.M. Weasel constantly saying his catchphrase 'I am Weasel!' Baboon doing his trademarked victory dance. The series ending credits were only created in 1999, with the separation; it credits all involved in the three years of production and the theme song is played instrumentally in a style, with additional arrangement.The theme song was composed by Bill Fulton, written by, and sung.

Mommy', in which the letter 'N', present on an used by I.R. Baboon (a reference to the ), had to be digitally removed in 1999 after Cartoon Network was sued by the, who alleged the reference was derogatory for their institution.

StatusEndedI Am Weasel is an American animated television series, created by David Feiss and broadcast on the. Its basic premise is a somewhat twisted take on the classic nursery rhyme Pop Goes the Weasel; in fact, the theme song of the series, sung by April March, is based on the well-known musical version of the rhyme.I Am Weasel was originally a part of the show, often airing as the middle of three segments, in between two Cow and Chicken segments. ('The Ugliest Weenie', a two-part Cow and Chicken story, even made reference to the I Am Weasel cartoon interrupting the storyline.) Eventually, I Am Weasel was spin-off into its own series, airing between 2000 and 2008, with both new episodes and the episodes that had aired on Cow and Chicken included in that series (much like how Pinky and the Brain was spun off from Animaniacs or how Evil Con Carne came from Grim and Evil).
