Gary & Mike is a television show that aired on UPN in 2001 and Comedy Central in 2003. The show was produced in stop motion and lasted only one season. A total of thirteen episodes were produced.
This mid-season replacement show was about best friends traveling across the United States on a road trip, accomplishing nothing of importance, and unwittingly destroying hopes, dreams, and personal property. Gary is a fairly normal, albeit high-strung, uptight, good hearted loser while Mike is the fun-loving, laid back, "best friend from hell" with a sex addiction. They meet hookers, mole people, and a scheming murderer, all while a vengeful father pursues Mike for bedding his daughter.
Although the final episode included a "to be continued" message, the show was canceled after its first season.
The show won two Emmy awards for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation. It was also nominated in the category for Outstanding Music & Lyrics. Gary and Mike was also nominated by the Casting Society of America for Best Casting for Animated Voiceover-Television.
