If you ask me for a show that was ahead of its time, my go-to answer will always be Mission Hill. The intricately detailed and just downright fascinating art design. The cool, yet sparring unhinged, animation that is matched by a wild soundscape. The writing that still remains witty and relevant to this day. And the superb voice acting! So how did this immensely brilliant cartoon fall so far off-the-radar and leave a scarring impact on its creators? This is What Happened to Mission Hill.

made a shittily edited podcast with my best friend about this show that dropped around the same time last year. Yours is much more well-made, I see the flaws in my designs. This show is fuckin incredible, and it's a tragedy what happened to it. The creators recently pitched a continuation of sorts, Gus and Wally. WB denied it and denied them the rights to use the characters, for no reason. WB will never do anything with this. They're evil. Edit: I posted at the start of the video, i was just excited to see another in depth analysis of mission hill.

I used to watch Bevis and Butthead and Daria and this was on around when they were. Funny enough I never watched Mission Hill on any channel but MTV I just forgot about it when it went to WB.

We got robbed that this show didn't get more seasons. Bill Oakley and Josh Weinstein working together were one of the best duos in the entire history of tv comedy animation and it's a shame we never got to see more from them with this show. They took everything they learned from The Simpsons and carried it over. They both did work together for the first 4 seasons of Futurama as writers which also explains why the writing was so good in that show as well

I like to think Mission Hill is in Andy's perspective, and he's the one that made and animated this whole show based off his life. And honestly even today I don't see very many (or good) shows for th age demographic that Mission Hill was targeting.

Mission Hill is definitely one of those "killed to early by the network" shows which is way to common, especially with adult animation. There is still a strong "cartoons are for kids" bias out there even though adult animation has been around the whole time.

I love urban based shows/cartoons. Cartoons like The Critic, The PJ's, Hey Arnold and This Beautiful Show really hold a special place in my heart. Outside of Hey Arnold! I grew up on Cartoon Network/Adult Swim (ALL KIDS OUT OF THE POOL ERA) Shows like ed,edd,eddy were hilarious but seeing characters living in the suburbs wasn't relatable, same with Home Movies. (Coach McGurk is the shit) I really love the commentary on this DVD. The creators were gonna have everyone grow older over the seasons like real people, and continue to have real world/slice of life issues just like most of the stuff present in this show already. I really wish there was more cartoons like what I mentioned above or rather just more Adult Animators willing to take this kind of risk again.

Mission Hill and The Oblongs were absolute best thing on television that happened to me as a confused queer kid. Growing up in conservative family in Russia, suddenly I was blasted with beautiful animations on “2x2” channel that bought licenses to air a lot of old cartoons from Fox, CN and others. Mission Hill actually helped me to understand a lot of things about sexuality, emotions, first love, and Oblongs taught me about consequences of being “the other one”, being alone and dealing with it and realizing that home is where you belong, not where you’re from - and grow into a woman I am now. Thank you for that essay, man, revisiting those memories was really great.

It was also one of the few shows I remember watching with an unapologetically same sex couple and they had some of the funniest bits in the show from what I remember. I really identified with the younger brother and his eccentricities. I was a nerdy kid and was kinda sheltered. So it was nice to see a character that sorta got me that wasn't completely like "look at the dumb nerd!" Honestly I feel they could bring the show back. It definitely deserves it's cult status if nothing else.

I watch a lot of channels that are about pop culture analysis, including channels specifically about animation, and not only have I never seen a full retrospective on it before, I'm not sure any of them have ever brought it up at all.

I thought it was kind of a nice way to show that the brothers weren't actually that different, and that Kevin would sorta come into his own at some point Especially since the whole episode is about Andy actually trying to throw his brother a good party, and Kevin freaking out because he misses the way his life used to be

You know I remember discovering this show back in the day and oddly I didn't really like it when I first saw it, but upon seeing the rereuns on adult swim, I actually really liked it. I initially didn't like it because of the art style but I think shows like The Oblongs (and possibly Family Guy and South Park) made me want to give it another chance when I saw it again on Adult Swim. :) It really is a great show, not the best show in the world but it's an underrated gem among all of these animated sitcoms.

Great video, and deep dive on such a great TV show! I'm glad to see that I'm not alone at loving Mission Hill. I recently found your channel, and am really digging your content.

I don't think I saw this when it first aired, but when it made its way up here on Teletoon, I was in my early 20s so it spoke to me. Along with Clone high and Undergrads, it was a great time for indie adult cartoons!

The color scheme on Mission Hill was one of the last shows to use magenta colors on television. Magenta was realized to trigger seizures in people, which is why it is no longer used. At least that's what I understood from the bonus feature.

Own the DVD! The colors are like what colors a professional cartoon would throw out! I love it.

One of those shows I caught at night one time as a kid and definitely would never have remembered again if not for someone bringing it up. It was a miracle we ever found any non-mainstream entertainment in those days
