Sammy is a very short-lived American adult-animated television series that aired on NBC between August 8-15, 2000. It was created by David Spade (who also starred in the series) and Drake Sather. 13 episodes were produced, though only two aired out-of-order on NBC.

Premise
The series follows the lives of two brothers, Sammy and James Blake, as they cope with their dysfunctional family.

History
Sammy, along with another animated sitcom, God, the Devil and Bob, was conceived by NBC in order to capitalize on the ongoing trend of animated programs geared towards adults. When God, the Devil and Bob attracted low ratings and controversy due to its subject matter, it was quickly cancelled and sold to Cartoon Network to be a part of its Adult Swim block years later. This left Sammy in limbo, not premiering until early August 2000 with minimal promotion and fanfare. NBC was contractually obligated to air the first two episodes, and once both premiered, the show was secretly cancelled.

Aftermath
With very little information on the series, and not a single clip nor episode being available online, the show was believed to have been lost, until a crew member of the show uploaded the pilot episode, "Swimmin' Pools, Movie Stars", onto YouTube on May 24th, 2021. Another episode, titled "House of Pain", was uploaded on June 1, 2021. More episodes have been uploaded on a semi-weekly basis.
