what is downtown ?

downtown is an american animated sitcom created by chris prynoski that aired on mtv from august 3 to november 8, 1999.
the show follows a cast of young adults who live in an urban area of new york city, and presents their everyday lives. the series
is based on interviews with real people.

according to chris prynoski, when he watched early-1970s ralph bakshi films in the mid-1990s, he felt that his films from that time were
"much like a time capsule." this inspired him to create downtown, "so that when people watch the show 20 years later, it feels exactly like
1999 in new york". prynoski also wanted to show "a line of demarcation where society changed completely" before cell phones and he
"wanted to be able to have nostalgia for what doesn't exist now."
