New York - Despite near universal negative reviews, and outrage from fans of the original cartoon, Cinemax has announced that it has renewed the R-rated animated series Scrappy for another season.

"We knew going in that this take on the classic character wasn't going to appeal to everybody," Casey Bloys, Cinemax Head of Programming, explained. "But if you take out hardcore fans, casual viewers checking out the franchise for the first time, people who just have the TV on in the background while they watch YouTube videos, and elderly shut-ins who can't find the remote, what you have left is a dedicated group of people who are into the show and get what the creative force behind it was going for, which is a sexually explicit voyage of discovery after Scrappy quits Mystery Inc. in order to find his true purpose in life."
Though much of the credit for the production of Scrappy goes to comedian and actor Louis C.K., there is a deep roster of talent working on the show. According to C.K., he put together a dream team of writers and voice actors that aren't afraid to say what lonely boys and men between the ages of 15 and 25 are tweeting anonymously. "We got Chappelle, Tosh, Carolla, Brand, Joe Rogan, who is hilarious as Scrappy. Oh, and I can't believe I almost forgot Greg Gutfield."
