"Comin' Home" by Cheeseburger featuring Doc
Superjail! is an American animated television series produced by Augenblick Studios in its first season, and by Titmouse, Inc. in its second, third, and fourth seasons. A fourth season was confirmed on the Twitter page of David Wain, who voices the character of the Warden. The series follows the events that take place in an unusual prison. The pilot episode aired on television on May 13, 2007, and its first season began on September 28, 2008. Superjail! is characterized by its psychedelic shifts in setting and plot and extreme graphic violence, which give the series a TV-MA-V (for graphic violence, including scenes of bloodshed, dismemberment, torture, and extreme cruelty) rating. These elements are depicted through highly elaborate animated sequences, which have been described as "Baroque and complicated and hard to take in at a single viewing". On October 30, 2015, Titmouse confirmed at their panel at Comikaze Expo that Superjail! had been cancelled by drawing it along with previously cancelled shows like Motorcity, Tron: Uprising, and Metalocalypse. Co-creator Ben Gruber would also later write for shows like Teen Titans Go!, Breadwinners, and SpongeBob SquarePants.
