The show focuses on two co-workers, DJ and The Fro, who work at the fictitious company Oppercon Industries. They rarely do work, and instead look for funny videos on the Internet, which they comment on (similar to Beavis and Butthead with music videos).
Within weeks of its debut, DJ & the Fro was moved from its 6:00 pm (est) time slot to 12:30 am (est) time slot due to the Parent Television Council deeming it "too racy for daytime t.v."

Cancellation
The series was never officially canceled. The series was most likely aired to gain the popularity Beavis and Butt-head had. Unfortunately, the series never returned for a second season. It was most likely due to low ratings especially considering it started airing 12:30 AM (est) and it was getting harder for previous viewers to find new episodes. Since then, the series has a small and growing cult following.
