Moonbeam City is an American adult animated television series that was created by Scott Gairdner, and starred the voices of Elizabeth Banks, Rob Lowe, Kate Mara and Will Forte. It premiered on Comedy Central on September 16, 2015.
A parody of 1980s cop shows such as Miami Vice, it was animated in distinctively bright, neon colors similar to the style of the 1980s artist Patrick Nagel and the anime City Hunter, and featured a soundtrack of 1980s-style synthesizer music, performed by Night Club.
On March 30, 2016, the series was cancelled after one season, due to low ratings.
Internationally, the series premiered in Australia on 15 November 2015 on The Comedy Channel.
On December 1, 2015, Moonbeam City was nominated for an Annie Award for Best General Audience Animated TV/Broadcast Production, but lost to The Simpsons.
The show however, received mostly mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, and positive reviews from audiences. Many compared it unfavorably to Archer, some even criticizing that Dazzle Novak himself was too similar to Sterling Archer. The first season holds a 31% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 13 reviews. Its consensus states: "Moonbeam City wildly overestimates the effectiveness of its attempts at over-the-top humor, leaving viewers with little more than a derivative disappointment". On Metacritic is holds a 52% indicating mixed or average reviews.
