Kitchen

Kitchen is an American adult animated black comedy television series created by Ralf Hat for Kingson that ran from May 24, 1999 to September 12, 2016. The series revolves around the unusual exploits of three social outcasts who live in a depraved American city shrouded by dysfunctional residents who engage in criminal activities and anti-social behaviors on a regular basis. Their daily lives are consistently intervened by unconventional and extremely life-threatening situations, which they must use their survival instincts and awareness to overcome. The show serves as a satire on social integration, rejection, corruption and conformity, and is notoriously known for its dark subversive comedy, graphic violence, and heavily controversial subject matter. Kitchen is considered to be the first original Kingson programs to be aimed towards an older audience. The success of the series has since led to a media franchise which has met a generally positive reception

Premise
Kitchen takes place in the major city of New Sodom, which is located in the fictional 51st U.S State of Jefferson. Secluded and socially shunned from the rest of the nation, New Sodom is depicted as a crime-ridden, dystopian cesspool known for being a haven for the mostly depraved and undesirables of society, who regularly convey anti-social behaviors, are poorly educated, indulge in criminal and degenerative activities, and seem to reflect the worst aspects of humanity. The show chronicles Vic McCoy, Pants Schmidt and Chuck Lastname's daily exploits, three self-aware middle school outcasts who happen to be excluded from their own dysfunctional culture, joined by their eccentric peers. Their everyday lives are constantly fraught with danger surrounding every corner through unusual, ridiculous, and unlawful circumstances which they are forced to face on their own. Overtime, the series has also laid focus onto other supporting and recurring characters that are present in the main characters lives.

Main

 * Vic McCoy: The simplistic and frail main protagonist who is depicted as the everyman of the series. Vic is the most fortunate of his friends, born to and raised in a "mostly" average suburban household within one of the safest communities in the city.

Development
The concept of Kitchen was unconventional to the channel on the basis of its subject matter during the time, and executives originally declined to allow such a boundary-pushing show to air alongside its library of mainly family-friendly content. However, the subsequent influx of an older teenage audience to the network through shows such as the short-ran Wage Guys, had prompted executives to rethink their decision. The development of the first season began in 1998, and the production team was gradually small and ran on a minimal budget.
