Too many years later, and I still love this pilot. This one and Kitty Bobo were my favorites. I think neither of those won because they were too mature for kids (that's why KND won). It wouldn't be until Regular Show that we had a more mature show on CN.

I really love this pilot. I feel like the premise of a cartoon where characters living their daily lives while getting into all sorts of hyjinks is a common one, especially when this was made, but this pilot feels so much more lighthearted and fun compared to the shows I've seen. I could easily see myself getting attached to these characters and the world they live in the more I knew about them. Also I love this art style. It has the vibe of a newspaper comic and the color pallet is so nice to look at.

I love all the little details, like the quiet "boom" in the background after Dan and Micah left their apartment, and the color palette of the paint is very easy on the eyes.

I don't know if it's watercolors (looks like it?) but the way this is drawn and colored, the lines not being perfectly straight, the way the walls might have lighter and darker tones, just brings so much personality to every frame. A degree of earnestness that I don't think comes through in other animations that go for a Perfect, Neat and Tidy style. From the other comments it seems like this never got picked up to be a full show, but I hope you have found a successful career, finding pieces of art like this makes me want to jump for joy, and I'm really glad that artists like this exist
