'''''Sammy''''' (originally named ''Peewee'') was an American animated TV series created by David Spade and Drake Sather (who also wrote for SNL, News Radio, and the movie Zoolander) and produced by Brad Grey Television, Desert Rat Productions, Adelaide Animation, and Columbia TriStar Television for the NBC network. Only 2 of the produced 13 episodes were aired, those being ''Denver'' and ''Sammy Makes Amends''. | |||
The series ran from August 8th until August 15th, 2000, before being cancelled presumably because of low ratings and lack of any major promotion for the show,<ref>https://proquest.com/docview/266902678</ref> which could explain why the series has gone lost in the first place. The episodes that aired have never made their way onto the internet, and, until 2021, the series has never been reaired, and aside from a few screenshots, concept art, a couple of script pages, and some newspaper ads the series remains lost. In 2021, the pilot episode was uploaded to YouTube by [https://youtube.com/channel/UCtQmwQ_NIzBQEQEFK0hg3Lw Matt] thanks to a crew member on the show.<ref>[https://youtu.be/H5DhY-InKno Pilot episode of Sammy] Retrieved on 24 May 2021</ref> | |||

Sammy (originally named Peewee) was an American animated TV series created by David Spade and Drake Sather (who also wrote for SNL, News Radio, and the movie Zoolander) and produced by Brad Grey Television, Desert Rat Productions, Adelaide Animation, and Columbia TriStar Television for the NBC network. Only 2 of the produced 13 episodes were aired, those being Denver and Sammy Makes Amends.
The series ran from August 8th until August 15th, 2000, before being cancelled presumably because of low ratings and lack of any major promotion for the show,[1] which could explain why the series has gone lost in the first place. The episodes that aired have never made their way onto the internet, and, until 2021, the series has never been reaired, and aside from a few screenshots, concept art, a couple of script pages, and some newspaper ads the series remains lost. In 2021, the pilot episode was uploaded to YouTube by Matt thanks to a crew member on the show.[2]
