Unsupervised is an animated, half-hour comedy on FX, about two eternally optimistic best friends, Gary and Joel, who are navigating the harsh landscape of adolescence and trying to do what's right despite having no parental guidance whatsoever.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Gary's father took off years ago and left him with his absentee stepmom, while Joel's elderly parents remain unseen and uninvolved. And the adults who are actually present in Gary's and Joel's lives are anything but role models. At first glance, Gary and Joel's world may be bleak, but their worldview is bright as they guide themselves through life with each other to depend on.Unsupervised was created by David Hornsby, Scott Marder & Rob Rosell, known for their work on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It is animated by Floyd County Productions, the same studio that creates Archer.Unlike Archer however, the show never found much success, receiving average-to-negative reviews and suffering from extremely low ratings. It was axed after its first season.

Adults Are Useless: Seems to be the case with most of the adults on the show, though Gary and Joel don't seem to believe it. The teachers range from well-meaning, to apathetic, to outright incompetent. Consider the case of "Slow Joe" on the episode "Stupid Idiots": the teachers were either untrained, or simply didn't bother, to screen him for a specific learning disability, and simply lumped him in with the other mentally handicapped kids (who get "taught" in a shipping container). When the students demand that everyone be allowed to take the P-Dot test (an ersatz PSAT), Slow Joe is the only student in the entire school who gets a perfect score. As it turns out, "Slow" Joe simply has a crippling speech impediment - which the school completely failed to diagnose, much less help him with.
