What happens

Free for All is an American animated sitcom created by Randall Brett Merhar and developed by Merriwether Williams for Showtime. The series, set in Colorado, follows the day-to-day life of Johnny Jenkins, an innocent 19-year-old college student who has to deal with a bitter, cigarette-smoking grandmother and a coarse, sometimes-violent, alcoholic father, in a rather dysfunctional family while his friend, Clay, is living large with the settlement money he got from suing a taco restaurant for personal injuries. The show was developed for television by Merriwether Williams, the head writer for the first three seasons of SpongeBob SquarePants. The show lasted for only seven episodes that aired over the summer of 2003, the last ending on a cliffhanger. Despite favorable to mixed reviews from critics, the show had very low ratings due to poor promotion. Showtime canceled the animated series shortly after the last episode aired. It was later released on iTunes and Amazon.com. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
