What happens

Squidbillies is an American adult animated sitcom created by Jim Fortier and Dave Willis for Cartoon Network's late-night programming block Adult Swim. An unofficial pilot for the series aired on April 1, 2005. The series later made its official debut on October 16, 2005, and ended on December 12, 2021, with a total of 132 episodes over the course of 13 seasons. The series follows the Cuylers, an impoverished family of anthropomorphic hillbilly "mud squids" living in the Georgia region of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The series revolves around the exploits of Early, a lazy, ornery alcoholic and frequent criminal. Early's son, Rusty, is good-natured and eager for his father's approval. The eldest Cuyler, Granny, is very old and has many health problems, but nevertheless is quite resilient. Lil, Early's sister, is a hairdresser, sex worker, and meth cook who is often found unconscious in a pool of her own vomit. Early's friend, Sheriff, is the friendly, incompetent sheriff, often tasked with arresting Early. Early's employer, Dan Halen, is an evil exploitative robber baron. The series also airs in syndication in other countries and has been released on various DVD sets and other forms of home media. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
