Sanjay and Craig is an American animated television series that aired on Nickelodeon from May 25, 2013 to July 29, 2016 for three seasons and 60 episodes. The show is about a 12-year-old boy named Sanjay Patel who owns a talking pet snake named Craig.
The show's creators are Jim Dirschberger, Andreas Trolf, and Jay Howell. Howell is also the character designer.Sanjay and Craig is being produced by Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi, the creators of The Adventures of Pete & Pete, which aired in the 1990s. The show began production in late 2010. Nickelodeon had renewed the show for a second season on September 12, 2013 that began airing on July 19, 2014, and for a third season on July 11, 2014, that premiered on September 7, 2015. On June 10, 2016, one of the voice actors, Chris Hardwick, tweeted that the series has finished production. The series ended its run on July 29, 2016 with a half-hour special titled "Booyah for Bollywood".
The series follows the exploits of the title characters, a 12-year-old boy named Sanjay Patel, and his best friend, an anthropomorphic snake named Craig. On a promotional webpage for the show, the network explains that Sanjay and Craig's suburban hijinks require that "no one finds out that Craig can talk".
Jay Howell said that the idea began with a comic he and Dirschberger had made about a man who was a snake charmer. Dirschberger then changed the snake charmer character to a 12-year-old boy "without a weird quirk or affectation". Howell said that the show's inclusion of gross-out humor was based on the fact that both he and Jim Dirschberger have mothers who are nurses, "and they've told us a lot of gross stories over the years". Since none of the three creators had produced a show before, Nickelodeon chose Will McRobb and Chris Viscardi, the creators of The Adventures of Pete & Pete, as executive producers. Howell said that McRobb's and Viscardi's experience on Pete & Pete helped them add "surreal kids' stuff" to Sanjay and Craig. Unlike most animated shows, Sanjay and Craig does not rely on scripting. Instead, the writers make an outline, which is then converted to a storyboard.
