Stressed Eric

|
Stressed Eric is a cartoon series that was produced at Klasky-Csupo in the US for the BBC2 TV channel in the United Kingdom. The cartoons revolve around Eric Feeble, a middle class man who is always stressed out, because of his family, work, co-workers, etc.
NBC bought the rights to air it shortly after its initial airing in the UK, but after 3 episodes they stopped showing it. NBC had a couple of changes made to the cartoon. They had to cut 4 minutes from each episode due to the 8 minutes of commercial time the channel had to show. Also they changed the story a bit by giving Eric an American accent to make the story revolve around an American living in England.
