Kevin Spencer (subtitled "The Lovable Little Scamp" from seasons 3-4) is a Canadian adult animated black comedy television series created by Greg Lawrence that aired on CTV and The Comedy Network (now CTV Comedy Channel) from January 17, 1999 to November 6, 2005. It is based on the shorts of the same name that premiered on the Burly Bear Network in 1998. It also aired on Spike TV in the United States, and Cuatro in Spain. In April 2001, the original thirteen 1997–1998 shorts were remade and released on Mondo Media's flash cartoon site in the United States in 2002. Also around 2001 the shorts were remade on Canal 33, now called El 33. The show was originally going to be a claymation or a Barbie doll style stop motion based off its trivia rather than Adobe this was likely cut due to budget reasons or either Lawrence's desire to be more similar to South Park with crudely made characters. The series follows 16-year-old silent protagonist Kevin W. Spencer (earlier Kevin E. Spencer), described by the show's theme song as a "chain-smoking alcoholic sociopath", as well as his parents Percy and Anastasia and his supposedly imaginary friend Allen the Magic Goose.
