A BRIEF HISTORY OF SONS OF BUTCHER THE ANIMATED SERIES
Sons of Butcher the animated series ran for two seasons (2005 -2006) and 26 episodes on the Teletoon Network in Canada as part of their Detour programming block.
Due to its bizarre storylines, unique mixed video/animation style and original music, the show garnered a strong underground fanbase. In 2006, through fan voting, Sons of Butcher won the Gemini Award for Most Popular Website.
In 2007 Teletoon opted not to renew the series, plunging it into the land of late night reruns. A hardcore group of fans created a SAVE THE SOB movement protesting the series cancellation.
It consisted of an online petition,a full scale meat mailing campaign and even saw fans from across Canada fly to the Teletoon offices to protest in person.
Though the battle rages on, Teletoon has since issued a statement regarding the future of SOB...
"We absolutely will not be investing in a new season of SOB. We loved the show and gave it a great run, but unfortunately the ratings were just not high enough to continue. The dedication of the fans has certainly been impressive and we appreciate their colossal efforts. It was a real pleasure working with the talented team that brought us this show. Seasons 1 and 2 will be back on the air in the future."
Since its cancellation, Sons of Butcher has found life in rest of the world and can currently be seen in over 150 countries.
In 2007 Sons of Butcher was nominated for a Gemini for Best Animated Series.
Currently the show only exists in reruns on TV but the entire series is now available on DVD.
