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.

 * Tyler - One of Lamar's closest allies for much of the show's run since his debut in Season 2. He wears a light blue t-shirt and blue pants.
 * Dolo - Lazy and often cowardly, he appeared in later episodes of Season 2, and eventually became one of Lamar's roommates for much of Season 4 before moving out with Y Levi to a motel room. He made few appearances prior to Lamar's New House. He has red antlers with a white t-shirt and blue jeans, but is different than Aaron as his antlers are a duller red.
 * Y Levi - Rapper elk first appearing in later episodes of Season 2, he became one of Lamar's roommates and often brought his younger brother S Sean along with him. He bought a room at a motel near Lamar's house and Dolo became his roommate starting in A Bad Durianmaker
 * S Sean - Levi's younger brother but with moose antlers like Lamar and a round buck tooth. He began appearing in mid episodes of Season 3 before becoming canon after Levi moves in. In his initial appearances, he appeared to be very short tempered, but has improved in Season 4 and seems to get along well with Lamar.
 * Ariel - Dirtbike racer who with his family fled Cuba to move to California many years ago. He first appeared in Freeway Fighters, though he has been making several appearances beforehand in Celo Johnson Dirtbike Legends. He has since moved back to California City and lives above Levi's motel room as seen in A Bad Durianmaker. He appears to be more outgoing than other characters in the show and is considered to be a potential ally of Lamar in terms of protecting his company's briefcase and in terms of bounty hunting. He is 18 years old as of his debut in the episode Freeway Fighters, and has an outfit of similar colors to Celo, but with darker fur and a darker red shirt as well as navy blue antlers
 * Dante, Gaster, & Dooley - a trio of badly behaved teenagers who wreak havoc and intentionally ruin others' lives for their own personal gain. Dante and Dooley are both bisons and Gaster is a deer like many other recurring characters in the series. In later episodes of Season 3, they both intentionally try to annoy S Sean at school by making him rage, but only results in the three getting in trouble.
 * Lapis - a smart yet naive and simple minded deer with blue antlers and blue clothes entirely. He often hangs out with Lamar by going to his house and he is friends with Tyler.

 * Sean (Junichiro) - a bearded moose who is stupid, lazy, and hilariously idiotic. He lives not far down from Lamar's house and often plots to achieve mundane things such as flying out of a canon or slingshot. In some episodes, he is also corrupt.
 * David Burkins - Young man who lives beside Lamar starting in Lamar's New House, but has had relations spanning as far back as to Fishing The Flatts. He has many siblings including Shana, Rollin, Lina, Reese, Belle, Bella, and Janee, as well as Jenna, who owns a Pizza Hut Franchise down the road.
 * Lyndon - Laconic and empty character. He has white antlers and white clothing and lives in a school bus parked in the driveway which his dad lives in. He makes few appearances and is close friends with Lapis.
 * Levar - a bison bounty hunter and one of Lamar's most consistent allies. He is among the most mentally mature characters in the series and one of Lamar's most trusted allies. He lives in a blue house at the end of Narrow Alley on the same side Lamar does, which is the right side of the road, and he lives there with his wife Arianna and son Matthew. He is easily annoyed by Junichiro's shenanigans and has even called him a runt and sometimes a drunk wretch on several occasions, the latter is due to the fact that he constantly calls him and others while at home intoxicated, which is notable in Levi's Bear when he continued calling Levar nonstop, resulting in the latter literally shutting off his phone and even unplugging his house telephone. Nonetheless, Levar is still friends with Junichiro.
 * Rollin Burkins - David's younger brother who occasionally hangs out with Lamar's gang in Season 4.
 * Khan - a wapiti of Mongolian descent first appearing in Lice To Meet You. He has residency in both Mongolia and California City and is considered to be very mature, wise, and soft spoken. In his debut, he is seen parking a school bus (Bluebird TC2000 specifically) that he purchased at an auction, which is seen completed as a skoolie, and he is considered to be very reliable and can fix many problems, big or small, and he gets along with most of his neighbors. Any problem he finds, he almost always comes up with a solution that works well, such as shaving Lamar, Levar, and others with lice in their fur when the barber had been booked up with too many lice patients from an outbreak at a jamboree.
 * Julio - Levar's deer neighbor of Mexican descent. He lives in a Bluebird TC1000 just behind Khan behind Levar's Backyard fence. All three of them both stand on N End Street beside Levar's house discussing random subjects.
 * Pedro - A deer and Honduran immigrant who first made subtle appearances in late Season 4, is a Canon character in Season 5. He enjoys sleeping late and has no aspiration in getting a job or aligning himself with anyone except his friends, though he does occasionally hang out with S Sean and both of them even take some of the same classes

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.
