Movies is an American television sitcom created by Brendon Small and
Loren Bouchard. The show centers on an eight-year-old aspiring
filmmaker, also named Brendon Small, who makes homemade film
productions in his spare time with his friends Melissa Robbins and
Jason Penopolis. He lives with his divorced mother Paula and his
adopted baby sister Josie. He develops a skewed father-son-like
relationship with his alcoholic, short-tempered soccer coach, John
McGuirk.

Movies premiered on UPN on April 26, 1999. UPN cancelled the series
after only five episodes due to low ratings, but Cartoon Network
purchased the rights to the series, seeing potential in it; the show
premiered as the first original program on their nighttime
adult-oriented Adult Swim block on the night of the block's launch on
September 2, 2001. The series ended on April 4, 2004, with a total of
52 episodes over the course of four seasons.

Movies developed a cult following during its run, and is still
considered a renowned cult show, having been well-regarded by critics
in the years since its run. Co-creator Small later helped create the
Adult Swim animated series Metalocalypse and Bouchard later created
the animated series Bob's Burgers for the Fox network, casting H. Jon
Benjamin (the voice of Coach McGuirk, Jason, and Perry) as the voice
of Bob.
