Unsupervised is an American animated sitcom which ran on FX from January 19, 2012 to December 20, 2012. The show was created and, for the most part, written by David Hornsby, Scott Marder, and Rob Rosell. On March 30, 2012, Unsupervised was renewed for a second season. However, on November 17, 2012, Glenn Howerton said via Twitter that the show would not return. A later message stated that three new episodes produced for the first season would air on December 6, 13, and 20 and would serve as the end of the series.
The series follows two 15-year-old best friends, Gary and Joel, as they try to navigate through teenage life, while also trying to do the right thing without the help of any parental supervision.
Unsupervised was created by David Hornsby, Scott Marder, and Rob Rosell, who also serve as executive producers alongside Adam Reed, Matt Thompson, Rob McElhenney, Glenn Howerton, and Charlie Day and the production companies, Floyd County Productions, RCG Productions, and FX Productions. The series was not renewed for a second season.
Unsupervised appeared on the FX Network development slate in March 2011, under the title Townies and was eyed as a companion to the current FX animated comedy Archer. On September 15, 2011, the series was given a series order of 13 episodes, under the new title Unsupervised. Hornsby, Rosell, and Marder were the executive producers, with Rosell and Marder acting as show-runners.
On October 17, 2011, FX released a preview trailer of Unsupervised, titled "Fresh Men". The series premiered on January 19, 2012, at 10:30pm following Archer. FX officially announced Unsupervised season finale to be aired on Thursday, March 22, 2012, which brings the ending of the first season to 10 episodes. Three remaining episodes were written during the first production cycle, and were scheduled to be aired between "Jesse Judge Lawncare Incorporated" and "Youngbloods". However, due to a production issue with Archer, they were postponed in conjuncture with FX wanting to end the two shows in sync. The episodes were later animated and burnt off. They aired on December's 6, 13, and 20th.
