Overview

Fugget About It is a Canadian adult animated sitcom that aired for three seasons on Teletoon between October 2013 and April 2016. The show is about a stereotypical New York City mob capo, Jimmy Falcone, living with his family in Regina, Saskatchewan under the witness protection program after killing Don Gambini, his mob boss. In late 2024, the show, in particular the Fugget About It intro and theme song, saw a resurgence in popularity through memes on X / Twitter.

History

Fugget About It was created by Nicholas Tabarrok and Willem Wennekers and produced by the 9 Story Media Group for the Canadian television network Teletoon, airing on the station's late-night block, Teletoon at Night. It was greenlit from the Teletoon Pilot Project.[1] The show premiered on October 13th, 2016 and ran for three seasons, resulting in a total of 46 episodes, with the last episode airing on April 1st, 2016.

On September 14th, 2012, Fugget About It's production company, 9 Story Media Group, started a YouTube[2] channel that is still regularly updated in 2024. The channel boasts over a million subscribers as of September 2024.

Alright as a Canadian allow me to tell you this. This is a show where you just watched it at 3 in the morning on Teletoon when nothing else was on. And when you did it was like a strange nightmare that you couldn't tell if it was real or not. One particular aspect about this show that's been cattlebranded in my hippocampus is the goddamn transition ditty.

So you know how in Family Guy when it cuts to a building's exterior there's that little orchestra jingle that changes every time? Well, they tried doing that in Fugget About It. Except in this show it's a fucking short little accordion sting that never changes, and it plays a ton. Whenever there's a cut to a different place that same damn accordion jingle plays. It gets annoying quick.

Other than that I'm curious on what other people think about this show and that one episode where the girl in the family takes meds and she calls them "happy pills"
