''Uncle Grandpa'' is an American animated television series created by Peter Browngardt for Cartoon Network that premiered on the network on September 2, 2013. The series is based on Browngardt's animated short of the same name from ''The Cartoonstitute''. ''Uncle Grandpa'' is also a spin-off of ''Secret Mountain Fort Awesome''. It is produced by Cartoon Network Studios. The show is a surreal action-adventure comedy that relies extensively on visual gags and catchphrases. Creator Pete Browngardt has cited the work of cartoonists Don Martin, Gary Larson and Robert Crumb, as well as Golden Age-era animators such as Tex Avery when it came to developing the style of the show. Each 11-minute episode is presented in a unique format, consisting of a main seven- to nine-minute story, some short bumpers typically composed of a quick visual joke, and an original short that focuses on the show's side-characters. ==History== The ''Uncle Grandpa'' pilot was created by former ''Chowder'' storyboard artist Peter Browngardt in 2008, but aired online in 2009 on Cartoon Network Video as part of ''The Cartoonstitute''. Akin to the ''Regular Show'' pilot, the ''Uncle Grandpa'' pilot was successful, but it had yet to have been green-lit into its own series.〔 In 2011, the TV series ''Secret Mountain Fort Awesome'' (based on the creatures that appear in the original short) aired on Cartoon Network, but was not as well-received as ''Cartoon Network'' series, and was eventually put on hiatus in February 2012. Despite the failure, ''Secret Mountain Fort Awesome'' went on to win several awards, including the coveted Crystal Award for "Best Television Production" at Annecy International Animated Film Festival, the first US-based production to do so.〔 This helped boost Browngardt's profile in getting ''Uncle Grandpa'' greenlit as a series.〔 Finally, another factor that has contributed to the launch of the show was the redesign of the character by John Kricfalusi, ''The Ren & Stimpy Shows creator.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=John K.
