California City Show

California City Show is an animated comedy and drama show that was created and aired on April 24, 2018 on ATBW Blog by CCTV Productions, a subsidiary of ATBW Label Networks. It was created by Kirti Mang, who founded CCTV Productions on February 17, 2018, starring Lamar Brown as an anthropomorphic western moose who faces challenges in the city of California City. He lives in a white two story house and his two cousins, Jaron and Shequan, two of his cousins with their family, live there with him. He and his two older brothers, Delmar and Jamar together with Jaron and Shequan and sometimes TNT Gong, defeat slammed mercedes benz, bmw, audi, subaru, honda, toyota, nissan, mitsubishi, and sometimes dodge cars driven by dangerous characters called Gangers, which will try to take down Lamar while speeding on the roads, and the browns have to defeat them to protect the streets. The browns also go on other adventures as well, such as going on missions and helping others within the streets of California City, and even hang out with others.

The show gained extreme fame and popularity, initially airing exclusively on ATBW Blog on the CCTV Productions channel. Less than a month later it began airing episodes on TV, exclusively on Comedy Humor, ATBW's comedy channel, which airs shows to a more mature audience than other networks owned by ATBW. The show gained over 200 million fans in mid 2019 alone, and continues to grow.

Creation
After CCTV's near failed earlier show, Three Deer, which only aired on ATBW Blog, they ended it on March 24, 2018, one month after initially airing on February 24, 2018. One month after it ended, CCTV aired California City on April 24, 2018, initially exclusively on ATBW Blog, but eventually came to television, exclusively Comedy Humor in May 2018.

The show was created by Kirti Mang, who also did Three Deer earlier, and later eventually did Life In The Year 7500 the following year. The series is done through ATBW Blog's animation builder and the characters are designed through Polygonal Creations, which was also used for Three Deer and an older, unrelated show Ameritz In California City. It typically takes 1 to 2 weeks to produce a full episode depending on it's plot and number of characters. The Start took only 6 days as only ten characters were ever featured in it.

Controversy
Even though this show was a huge success, it has caused a number of problems. One is that due to the number of kids who watch California City Show, the show caused a lot of students to get bad grades. In early 2019, at least 3 schools sued the production company and one parent sued both the company and it's founder for being overly addictive to watch. In October 2019, several schools have banned the show from being watched in the classrooms. At least half are cracking down on students watching the program, threatening suspension to any student caught watching the program. Another half still allows the program to be watched, but only under certain conditions.

Additionally, it has also caused several car crashes as well, especially in teen drivers. Teens often had their phones out while they were driving watching the program on the go, causing crashes or near crashes. The show was banned in a few countries after a driver was killed by watching the program while driving.

Another device made is the California City Game And Play, which was a series of games put into handhelds, spreading like wildfire. These were largely a huge success, but also caused major issues. Due to how successful these handheld games were, they were banned in many schools, some districts entirely, for being overly addictive to play. The most popular ones were California City Street Racers, California City Pimp Wars, and California City Defense, which were already best-selling in 2018, which eventually were also released onto the Game And Play on April 6, 2019. On May 7, 2019, they were placed in the top 3 of CCTV's best selling games on the board. The Game And Play sold to over 200 million users and only costed $15 dollars for one game, $30 dollars for two games, which quickly skyrocketed off shelves fast and many stores were out of stock, mostly on the same day they were first sold. Most of the people who bought the games were under 18 years old, and were rated E10+ or T for Teen by the ESRB.

Countries Banning It
The countries that currently ban the show are as follows; Belarus, Russia, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Nepal, People's Republic Of China, Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and South Africa. All except Iran and Belarus have eventually lifted the bans as of 2021. A majority of these countries have banned only certain episodes for violence, but Iran, Venezuela, Belarus, and China ban the series outright, and watching it is illegal in the latter.
