Premise
The series follows the everyday lives of the residents of the fictional small town of Dog River, Saskatchewan. Though similar to the live-action series, the creators acknowledged that the animated format gave them opportunities to do stranger and more unrealistic things that the original series could not depict.[2] For instance, cutaway gags in the animated version include a Mad Max spoof and a gory fight between a Sasquatch and a unicorn.[4]
