YMMV / Penguins Behind Bars

• Audience-Alienating Premise: The show was a surprisingly serious prison drama...set in a world of cartoon penguins. One would think this would have a place on Adult Swim, but even there, every other show outside of anime (which can be said about adult animation as a whole) was a comedy. The pilot aired once, was met with mixed to negative reception from baffled viewers, and never aired again.
