Downtown, or MTV's Downtown, was an animated series on MTV on urban life, based on interviews with real people. The show followed an ethnically diverse cast who live in New York City, and presents their everyday lives through quirky, humorous, and imaginative perspectives from the characters. It was created by Chris Prynoski, a former animator on Beavis And Butthead and Daria who went on to form Titmouse, and produced by David McGrath. In 2000, Downtown was nominated for an Emmy in the category of Outstanding Animated Program.Like many of MTV's other cartoons, it lasted only one season of 13 episodes. All released between August and November, 1999. There has been an outcry for a DVD release of the series. The use of an original score rather than licensed music would make such a DVD release easier. Prynoski sublimated the lack of an official Paramount DVD release by way of offering a promotional DVD via his blog, which includes all episodes of the series in DVD quality.The creators of the series would go on to do Megas XLR, in which Goat is a recurring character, complete with the same voice actor. | |

Just Train Wrong | |
| Downtown / int_1fb947b6 | comment |
Just Train Wrong: In "Train Pain" Chaka and Fruity argue with each other with which train is faster arriving to Coney Island. Chaka states you take the "B Train" while Fruity argues you take the "R" because it's faster. It may be In-Universe though to show how clueless each character is. The B train ends at Brighton Beach and not at Coney Island, the R Train stops at Bay Ridge 95th Street. Matt is able to show Fruity that the N Train is the one you take to get to Coney Island using the subway map, and at W 4th Station Chaka and Mecca board an F Train because Chaka was impatient with the B not arriving (both Fruity and Chaka complaining to their companions how arrogant the other is!). Chaka should have stayed on the F train because that is one of the lines that goes directly to Coney Island! | |

In Episode 4 Alex wanders upon the location where the Goth event was taking place (that appears to be a rented former meat packing store), that Alex was hired to copy the promotional posters in the opening scene, where Serena is preparing the venue for the club night. The end result is displayed in the credits where there is graffiti art of candles on the wall as well as other art, actual lit candles in the club attached to tall, floor stand candelabras near the walls, everyone apparently is dancing to Serena's zither playing despite it appears not to be hooked up to any speakers, Goat is chasing a girl who's trying to get away from him, Alex's usually popular club savvy sister is surprisingly dancing with a Goth guy, and Alex is sleeping under one of the posters he made. | |

Kick the Dog: Chaka stealing Halloween candy from a little girl in "Trip Or Treat". She claims she's got a right to do it because it happened to her as a kid. Then it turns out that some of the candy she took had been drugged, leading to her suffering hallucinations and ending up in the hospital. The Stinger for the episode also shows the girl she stole from showing up in her room for revenge. | |

Properly Paranoid: In Testing, Goat goes off his rocker after mistaking a psych student teacher assistant's hammy attempt to relate with the group of young adults he found to sign up for a paid research experiment, as a brainwashing code saying "That's cool, man". He stares at cameras claiming that the recorded footage goes into a government central database to track people as well as other paranoia (like a numerical ordered check number being used to track people). Later during a job interview, Alex learns from the store manager of a large corporate copy shop that they use cameras in the store not to stop shoplifters, but to track employee productivity along with other invasive measures that invades privacy. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: The show has a six-minute pilot episode that is noticeably very different from the series. Fruity, Matt, Chaka, and Mecca are the central characters of the pilot, with no sign of Alex, Jen, or Goat whatsoever. Fruity has a younger brother, when in the series there is no indication that he has any siblings. Chaka's surname is given as Zuberman rather than Hensen. | |

Coolest Club Ever: Episode 3 featured the local dive under Alex's apartment being turned into a massively trendy, popular club. Chaka is thrilled, especially since she can sneak in through the back from within the apartment building. Alex, who has to sleep above the pounding techno music, is less thrilled. In Episode 4 Alex wanders upon the location where the Goth event was taking place (that appears to be a rented former meat packing store), that Alex was hired to copy the promotional posters in the opening scene, where Serena is preparing the venue for the club night. The end result is displayed in the credits where there is graffiti art of candles on the wall as well as other art, actual lit candles in the club attached to tall, floor stand candelabras near the walls, everyone apparently is dancing to Serena's zither playing despite it appears not to be hooked up to any speakers, Goat is chasing a girl who's trying to get away from him, Alex's usually popular club savvy sister is surprisingly dancing with a Goth guy, and Alex is sleeping under one of the posters he made. | |

Once More, with Clarity: When Jen follows Serena, she goes to various places: to a shady back alley, an upscale apartment building, and a strip club. Jen assumes the worst. When Serena goes to Alex's copy store, Serena explains what she was doing at each place. She went to pick up some herbal medicines (the shady back alley), watered her aunt's plants (the apartment building), and retrieved some concert tickets (the strip club). | |

Auto Erotica: Subverted in "Limo". When it at first looks like Alex and Jen are having sex in the limo Jen rented, it then turns out that they're just bouncing the limo around and feigning orgasmic exclamations to mess with the chauffeur. In the same episode, the chaffeur talks about a client he had who also seemed to be setting up for this trope when he brought a couple of hookers on board. Turns out he just wanted them to partake in some bizarre religious confession with him, for which he paid their fee, and then happily let them off afterwards. | |

"Rashomon"-Style: The second episode features one when Chaka and Mecca remember when they first met Matt and Fruity, and vice versa. All we really know for sure is that they were all in the park and Chaka was dancing in the fountain: Chaka remembers herself as a voluptuous dancer that had the attention of every guy in the park, and that Matt and Fruity were lanky nerds. Fruity remembers himself as a fit, confident skater, and Chaka as a plain, flat girl. | |

Subways Suck: In Episode 2, a battle-of-the-sexes train race of Chaka and Mecca vs. Matt and Fruity to get to Coney Island. Chaka acts impulsively and takes random trains while Mecca is too spineless to stop her. Matt looks at the maps, makes a plan and firmly sticks to it despite Fruity's complaints, but it was all for nothing when their train line ends abruptly due to construction. (They managed to walk the remaining 20 blocks.) | |

As Himself: WWE's The Undertaker once "appeared" as himself when the gang went to a comic book convention. He ends up helping Fruity fight a group of anime nerds over a comic book. | |

Beneath the Earth | |
| Downtown / int_a7544a0f | comment |
Beneath the Earth: In "Graffiti", Fruity, Matt and Chaka venture into the subway tunnels in New York so Matt can tag the trains. While they wander around, they talk about all the crazy inhabitants of whom they've heard tell. Suggestions include survivalists, mole people, giant electric eels and transit cops who stage fights. And then there's the abandoned yet functional station they really DO stumble across... | |

Really Gets Around | |
| Downtown / int_bf1255fa | comment |
Really Gets Around: Leah is very promiscuous, to the point where she interrupts sex with one guy to hook up with another one right in the middle. Goat as well. He has a "quantity over quality" approach to hooking up, making him far more successful in romance than most of the gang, but the quality of conquests is questionable. | |

Unlucky Childhood Friend: Inverted with the relationship between Jen and Alex. Various characters assume that the two of them are or should be sleeping together, despite their vehement protests to the contrary. Although after a conversation about how desperately horny they both are, they attempt to hook up. It's a miserable failure. | |

Cannibal Clan | |
| Downtown / int_c324a7d | comment |
Cannibal Clan: The Cropsies from episode 12. It's an urban legend about inbred hillfolk living in the Jersey Pine Barrens, who allegedly kidnap travellers and either eat them or use them for breeding if they're women. The Cropsies turn out to be real, but are none of the things mentioned above, they're just the inhabitants living in the secluded parts of the Barrens. | |

Horrible Housing | |
| Downtown / int_db2b02bf | comment |
Horrible Housing: Alex's first apartment on his own is a real shithole, and they even talk about how he had to jump at the opportunity to get it without checking it out first because of how difficult it is to find affordable housing in New York. Jen's apartment isnt much better, and she still has to have a roommate. The less said about Goats apartment, the better. | |

All Women Are Lustful | |
| Downtown / int_e41a9801 | comment |
All Women Are Lustful: All the female characters apply, though for Chaka and Mecca, it's just implied since they're still teenagers. Jen is frustrated by her own lack of sex, while her roommate Leah Really Gets Around. However, Leah is an interesting example, as she admits to not liking sex all that much while still indulging in a ton of it. A few scenes imply she sees it as a prerequisite for an active social life, while others have her sleep around even when there's no advantage in it. | |

The Load | |
| Downtown / int_e68b72 | comment |
The Load: Matt never let Fruity join in on his tagging ruins because he felt that Fruity would be this. He's pretty much right when he does take him and Chaka along, as Fruity quickly gets jealous over Matt's street cred and popularity among graffiti fans and almost gets them caught by the transit cops. He redeems himself by the end. | |
