Time Warped was a historic satire television series created by Trey Parker in 1995. The series consisted of two pilot episodes—a musical version of Aaron and Moses's quest to free the Hebrews and a prehistoric love story between a Homo erectus and an Australopithecus.
After seeing their student film, Cannibal! The Musical, Fox executive Brian Graden wanted Matt Stone and Trey Parker to create a show that was Cannibal! on a weekly basis (before that, however, they created a short Christmas Card for Brian called The Spirit of Christmas). Thus, Trey came up with Time Warped-"a musical romp through time". The show starred many of the actors from Cannibal, such as Dian Bachar, Jason McHugh and Toddy Walters. When the first pilot was completed, Brian thought it would work better as a Fox Kids show. After making a kid-friendly pilot, Fox Kids passed on the show.
The opening was different for the two pilots.
An announcer (Trey Parker) introduces the show's logo as Time Warped – In Color. He then introduces Chet Martin, with an image of Chet coming toward the camera in a desert. He follows with an introduction to the Time Warped players. Each player is introduced with three images and a pseudonym, followed by an image of Chet Martin in the foreground with the player acting out a scene in the background.
