Back to the Future (also known as Back to the Future: The Animated Series) is an animated science-fiction comedy adventure television series for television based on the live-action Back to the Future film trilogy.[1] The show lasted two seasons, each featuring 13 episodes, and ran on CBS from September 14, 1991, to December 26, 1992, with reruns until August 14, 1993. Citing low ratings, CBS canceled the show after two seasons.[2] It was later rerun on Fox as a part of the FoxBox block from March 22 to August 30, 2003, [3]
Although the series is set after the films, creator Bob Gale has stated that the animated series takes place in its own alternate timeline.[4] This show marked the debut television appearance of Bill Nye on a nationally broadcast show.
