Daft Planet was a Canadian cartoon, first airing on Teletoon Canada. It originally ran from September 2, 2002 to December 12, 2002. Its main claim to fame is that it was the first cartoon in the world that was made in Flash and appeared on a national television network. The show met with some success but was taken off the air when funding ran out due to cuts to the CTF program.

Plot

The plot, set in the fictional Maple City, encircles the day-to-day lives of the protagonists, Ched and Hudson, in their on-going struggle to keep up with the latest trends and maintain their positions in the social hierarchy in high school. With Ched living from a trailer park, as the son of a taxidermist and Hudson as the son of a wealthy network executive, a parallel is drawn between the two characters, offering unlikely chemistry.
