Fat Guy Stuck in Internet is a short, live-action sci-fi comedy series that is part of the Adult Swim schedule on Cartoon Network. The first season of ten episodes is currently in production. The series is directed by Ryan McFaul. The Executive Producers are David Tochterman, John Gemberling, and Curtis Gwinn, and the Producer is Michael Eder, A.P.

The show premiered Monday morning, June 16, 2008, at 12:15 A.M. The first episode to air was the pilot, and new episodes will premiere weekly in the same time slot.

Production

The series was made and written by John Gemberling and Curtis Gwinn, and is based on their series of shorts entitled Gemberling that was a part of Channel 102. Of all the shows in Channel 102's original prime-time schedule, Gemberling lasted the longest -- a full eight episodes, the final one lasting over seventeen minutes as a self-cancelling epilogue to the adventure series.

On May 30,2008, Gemberling and Gwinn premiered Fat Guy Stuck in Internet before an audience of scores at the Upright Citizens Brigade theatre in New York City. There, Gwinn compared the show to the likes of The Wire and the final episode of St. Elsewhere.
