Reza quote about FX: “I decided I wanted to create an animated series. So basically I started offering it to all the networks and offered it as a half-hour comedy with two 15-minute episodes – like an old Adult Swim show or something like that. FX became interested, then we started making it. Season Cake Series. I think it’s a great fit there. There are many other great animations out there and I really like the whole atmosphere of the show. I think it’s probably one of the most unique TV shows right now. ”
